Boot Camp for New Dads
I went to Boot Camp for New dads this weekend. Signed up thinking, “I don’t know what I am doing, I could use any help!” but it was really helpful. Really made me think about being a “dad”. My dad could have used the boot camp… just joking. My dad was a pretty good dad, he just worked a lot and is a great dad now. As I get older I understand more things… I couldn’t imagine, at my age, my dad had 7 yeas old and 5 years old. If I had to do what I am doing now to get ready for baby 7 years ago? I would not have done a good job (well, I can’t say I am doing good job because I am not sure what I am doing still…). At the boot camp, there was this guy Brook who sounds like didn’t have good experience with his dad and is determined to become a great dad, and from hearing him talk, I am sure he will be a good dad. I guess I really haven’t thought about being “dad” too much. I want to be a fun dad. I want to be a cool dad who understands kids because he also is a kid at heart. I want to be an forgiving and understanding dad and never lose touch with him/her no matter what happens. I want to be honest dad. I know I will not be a perfect dad, but I will have good time and keep positive. Keep your chin up, straighten your posture and keep your minds and heart open.
