Things you start doing when you become a Dad

• Sleep a lot less...
• ...but squeeze in a whole lot more to your day.
  
• Cultivate a sixth sense that picks up a stifled cry from the next room in the wee hours.
• Take more interest in those soppy emails of funny baby pics/clips.
• Play (and reminisce about) those nursery rhymes you grew up with.
• Read all those Ladybird classics, especially Puss In Boots.
• Develop character voices for all those Ladybird story sessions.
  
• Overdo the stupid faces just to get a cheap laugh.
• Brag about your baby's abilities to bore non-parents shitless.
  
• Compare your pram with that pram passing by right now...
  
• Appreciate your parents.
• Appreciate the miracle of a new life.
• Appreciate the good fortune of not having to go through the shit some people have to go through in order to have a baby.
  
• Dream about the near future and taking the boy hand-in-hand to watch The Boys.
• Think about "the family", rather than just me.

Right, that's enough of that. I'm having a hard time coming up with stuff to write, though a lot is going on right now...so I've decided to make the next few posts "pic posts". I think there are some great pics lined up, so enjoy...
