Jason said in another thread:
Congratulations, big guy. I hope all is well.
Welcome to a world of perpetual discovery. It's amazing how different the world looks when you see it again through the eyes of your child.
You will no doubt get lots of advice from people around you. The only advice I offer is this: parents who love their children can be confident enough to ignore the advice of others and do their own thing.
Oh, and if you haven't done so already, please have her hearing checked. We could have done without our son being deaf, but we were at least glad it was picked up at birth.

Though sleep will seem a memory, and changing a stenchful misery, you will look down upon your little one, and say , "This is what is good in life".
Though those days will pass, and you shall go on to skinned knees and grass stained jeans, you will look down upon your little one and say, "This is what is good in life".
Then school shall come and undone home work and late school projects shall arise, you shall still look down upon your little one and say, "This is what is good in life".
And when romance and heartbreak stride forth and boys and girls shall cause misery and heart break and angst, though there will be shouting and shedding of tears, you shall look down on your not-so-little one and say, "This is what is good in life".
For through all this, you have brought a new life, a mind ,a new heart, a new soul, into this world. An act of creation so profound, yet it happens every day.
I offer what my best hopes for you, your wife and your new one, my best hopes for your future together.
Peace.

I gave out chocolate cigars when my son was born - everyone loved them. Life only gets better, now, Jason! I wish you and your family good health, good heart and a wonderful future. |

I gave out chocolate cigars when my son was born - everyone loved them. I suspect my wife will be having a cup of tea or five to celebrate the arrival of our next one (mid-July) - she's been limiting herself to two a day, and I think the strain is starting to tell! The same from me. Alexander is now two and a half, and his talking is at a point that we can now have (simple) conversations: "You want some rockmelon?" A pause to think... "Pear!" And then he feeds himself with a spoon, tidily. |
