Today I realized I’ve been a “dad” for almost eight years now, I also discovered that I’ve learned a few things along the way. I’d like to impart this wisdom to my readers, so please enjoy my little bit of parenthood wisdom.

1.) Your child’s smile is the best cure for stress, depression and general bad days.

2.) Never, ever mention something to your child that might be fun for them, that you are not willing/ready to do right that second.

3.) Hugs and kisses never get old.

4.) Kids have bad days too.

5.) Listen to your child, they know more that you realize.

6.) Enjoy being a parent, it’s very fleeting.

Well that’s the important stuff, if anyone else has anything to add please do. I feel being a father is the most important thing I’ll ever do, so I love hearing about other father’s experiences.
