Under the fatherhood

Yesterday was Father's Day. Since I have a child under a year, it was my first one. I am not too big on celebrations. So here are some observations about my blur in fatherhood.

-I cannot put on Joy's socks. They never seem to line up right and Wendy goes back to correct them.

-I leave a lot of things laying around. Joy will find them for me.

-I will always get a smidgen or more of baby food on Joy's face.

-Babies will cry for what seems like no reason one minute and the next minute be perfectly happy.

-Thankfully, Joy does not do it much anymore, but she decides once she is in the car seat and we are walking out the door it is a good time to poop.

-It is difficult to change a diaper in a public restroom.

-Baby gear is extremely complicated...and expensive.

I know that I have learned some about being a father and I have a great deal more to learn. The most important thing I have learned is that I am thankful for an easygoing, loving, and happy little girl.
