Call your sweetie over to the computer and show him this!
- First, there’s the biology: No morning sickness, no 30-pound weight gain (OK, maybe five), no labor.
- Also, the breastfeeding. Who knows why men have nipples, but aren’t you glad they’re purely decorative?
- All that aside, once you’ve held that baby for the first time or watched those eyes go closing-closing-closed as you sway around the room, you know that baby is absolutely yours, just as much as hers.
- The ridiculously cute team gear available in sizes newborn to 4T, boys and girls.
- Pleading ineptitude. You totally know she’ll do the poopy diaper if you get it wrong. Although maybe you should read this. [Editor’s Note: Embed link to "Get Dad To Do The Diapers"]
- One word: "Da-da."
- And yet, nothing is more vindicating than those moments when your alterna-parenting (a piece of Scotch tape to secure the wrapped blanket, air guitar to solve the 5pm cranks) beats the Mommy way of doing things.
- That first fist bump.
- Baby carriers look amazingly sexy on dads.
- The cool noises you get to make: "Bzzzzzz" goes the airplane! "Wee-ooo-wee-ooo" goes the ambulance! "Vrroooom" goes the motorcycle! "Fore!" goes the golfer!
- You now have a friend who will not judge you when you make some, er, noises of your own.
- Popcorn and cotton candy at various circuses, carnivals, ice shows, and other activities that are far more fun than you like to admit.
- Your child will someday totally strengthen your argument for why you need a dog.
