OT: I'm gonna be a dad!

Or it was until we went to a restaurant with a friend of mine who taught my son all kinds of new words.

If he didn't he would have learned them in school anyway... or on TV. You can't shield them forever.

A big congratulations to you! I just found out a couple of weeks ago that I'm gonna be a dad for the second time myself.

Now onto the baby woodworking!! Babies are a very cool thing. SH

No kidding!....here in Canada, there is a store chain that in August runs commercials (for school supplies, or is it clothing, can't remember) based on the Christmas song that says: "it's the most wonderful time of the year".

Congratulations to you also ... from someone brand new to the second stage of the affliction:

Grandfatherhood sometime in May ... is that a word?

That's incredible, many congratulations! That crib will be high-tech in detail for the cutting and assembly. But then again, "the grass is green and the sky is blue".

Thanks to all for the kind words. I guess I'll try to live it up for now, because in the not-too distant future, I guess my idea of a great night will be one where I get to sleep through it. *sigh*. I am pretty fired up about it, though.

I don't worry about them knowing those words, I just don't let them use them around me.

Your idea of a great night will be one where you don't get some combination of vomit, fecal material or urine directed toward your person, and especially your face, whether you sleep through it or not. :)

Babies are leaky little critters. Fortunately they grow out of that in about three years.

Have you got your new job lined up yet? :)

Yowza, nobody told me two kids = three times as expensive.

Has anybody told you about the cost of teenagers yet?

Dave Leader reminds me constantly. He's doing a fine, fine job of filling me with dread and foreboding. :)

I await those days. Starting with when he realizes he's not wearing [insert brand here] shoes, but some crap from, gasp, Pay-Less.

Both my boys managed to "tag" me during a change. Them seem to sense when your guard is down.

Paul - glad to hear you're pumped about it. Being a Dad is the best thing that ever happened to me. Hope it's the same for you!

As if two houses, a 20 unit condo, and a military base classroom doesn't already keep me up at night. ;-).

The worst part is last time I had a child, I was building a custom harley. Ended up selling it because I never had time to ride. Guess what? I'm about a month away from being done with another one. Anyone in the market for a custom?

Now now now, you know children are priceless ;-) SH - The child rearing woodworker

Actually it was kind of home away from home, for me. Spent a lot of time there waiting for him to get off the phone with my mom or dad.

One of Life's Rules #1: Let a sleeping dog/teenager lie.

When deciding upon whether or not to get them out of bed before 3 PM, keep in mind that an awake teenager is much more expensive than a sleeping teenager ... and the longer you wait, the smaller the envelope for the mall being open.

Thankfully, sleeping is one of the things they do best.
