Jake's thoughts on being a Dad:

Poop filled diapers will be gross
Knowing he works will be pleasing

Urinating on himself, me, the changing table and anything else in range will be gross
~Recognizing that he is so helplessly out of control that even the basics are too difficult for him
~Knowing that I am charged with his safekeeping and knowing that I will be there to teach him all the basics throughout the rest of his life

Drooling on everything and anything will be gross
~What can I say, it is just gross

Dripping snot 24 hours a day will be gross
~Ditto

Watching everything on the floor eventually find its way in Mason’s mouth will be gross
~Watching his curiosity lead to exploration and eventually lead to learning could give me no more joy

Cleaning a scabby umbilical stump will be gross
~One of the many scars of life that I will help to heal

Hearing my newborn child screaming at max volume will be hard
~Hearing my son take a breath for the first time and cry will be my crowning achievement in my life




I don’t know you yet Mason but I know I will love you and everything about you. I will see you soon but it won’t be soon enough.



Dad
