182nd Post - Half Way Through

This blog post is my 182nd post. That mean that I'm halfway done with my year as a stay at home dad. So what have I learned? What are my major reflections on the state of fatherhood?

• Money is Good - You should try to get as much money as you can. Lots of it. Big bags of it. A Scrooge McDuck style vault where you can swim in it. This year off has put a lot of pressure on our finances. I really appreciate the value of a buck now.
• Babies are Awesome - I used to think babies were a little unnerving. I guess you really just have to have one of your own before you get over it. They're not unnerving. There great! Baby J is a joy to have around.
• Vagina Care - I won't get too graphic here but let's just say I know a lot about diapering baby girls now.
• Parenting Style - Like artists, each parent has a unique style which isn't easy to sum up in a neat package. I've learned that prefer for Baby J to do things on her own, without my help. If she falls down, she picks herself up. I see it as fostering independence. Others might see it as detached and aloof. TAH-mato, ta-MAH-to.

There you have it. One hundred and eighty two days worth of wisdom. Check back soon. New revelations happen all the time. I should write them all down into a book or something. All I need is a title. Hmmm...I got it! The Book of Revelations.
