When people describe becoming a dad… they tend to use big, transformative language.  Things like “My world changed the first instant I saw my little child”, “I’ll never be the same again”, or “All my desires shifted from myself, to the little child”.

For me, I can’t claim any ‘religious conversion’ level of personal change.  But I will say that I can do some things now that I never could before… the biggest one being quieting a baby… (however, I probably should credit the book “The Happiest Baby on the Block” I’m only half way through the book, and it’s been able to quiet down some CRAZY loud/prolonged screaming sessions.)  I have NEVER had any luck calming children down.  I’ve actually had basically zero experience with babies as is… But since Sam got here, I’ve been able to calm her down…

I’ll probably talk more about this later, but for now, we’re all trying to catch up on some sleep… so I think I’ll do that…

(but I might post some pictures first… )
