Observations of a Father

• I am going to share with you all my wisdom of four years of parenting

• Okay let’s look at what the Bible says

• When I had my first child I lost half of my memory, when I had my second child I lost the other half, when I had my third I lost another half I didn’t know I had

• I am unashamed to go into public with dirty clothes because a parent with three under four has either snot, spit up, or crumbs on his clothes at all times

• I no longer hum songs that I enjoy. I hum children’s music

• If you see me driving down the road shaking my hands like this I am humming the Wiggles song

• Home décor has gone from sage, ivory, and burnt umber to red, yellow, blue, and pink

• Sleep is overrated

• It takes you longer to get where you are going than the time you actually spend there
