So much good advice here.....

I dont know what more to say....I wish I could do it all over again....being a dad...nothing is like it. My kids are my life.

Enjoy your kids as much as you can...spend quality time with them. They grow so fast.

They are like a young tree....when they are young you can mold them...show them the right way ...teach them...etc but there will come a age...mid teens when its hard to bend them. Like a tree...sometimes if you bend them to much they will break. There is no perfect way in being a Dad.

Anyways brother....I envy you....there isnt anything better in life then being a Dad.

Congrats.
Like Hos said,you are about to discover love like you never imagined existed.
I have 2 boys(4,5),and I simply cannot imagine life without them.
The house is a sad lonely place when they are not there.

Patience & love, patience & love, patience and love!

Let them be who they are, and not push them to be what you want them to be.

Treat them as if they already are what you want them to become.

Discipline is great, ... but pour on love, and sprinkle on the discipline. Once the discipline is over, .. let the love begin again.

The very best thing you can do for your child, especially a boy, is unconditionally love their mother.

Update:

Baby Emmalynn was born at 7:48pm on November 20th, 2012. She was released today, so it's a great day for me and I am very thankful for it.

Only disappointment today is the cowboys losing Ohwell, my joy overcomes my sorrow.

Thanks to all for your input!

You'll wonder how people can ever hurt a child. Every new day is an adventure as they discover the world and you discover it with them. You teach them, but oh my goodness how they teach you so much more.

Congrats.

Really, Hostile nailed this. Love your child and don't be a barrier to their growth. Let them be who they are. Be there to guide them and advise them properly when they stray from a good path in life.

Other than that...

Love them w/ all that you are.

Lol: I am late to this thread. Gratz on the new runt!

Your life should be second. If your life isn't, then you have issues you probably should work on. That is the barrier I mention earlier.


You will succeed.
