Before I became a parent, I was sure that I would do things differently - with a sense of style. It was easy to judge other dads and believe them less involved or less creative than they could have been. Than I thought I would be.
I figured I would tell my daughter all sorts of stories, sing songs to her, watch her every move like a professor.
Now I find that 90% of what I say to her is either "hi", "hey", or a combination of the two (e.g. "hiyey", "hiya", "heyho"). Every once in a while I will get fancy and say "onka-bonka" or something.
Well, that's not entirely true. I have been teaching myself Tears for Fears songs in front of her, to her disdain.
I also wonder if sometimes she can tell that I have bad breath.
