GreatDad’s list of best things about being a dad

Long sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and a spouse who now has little time left for you anymore. Add to that an overwhelming sense of responsibility that, at best, leaves you wondering about a largely uncertain future. Sometimes you wonder whether this is all that being a father is about.

But then, you remember all those little ways in which the birth of your baby has altered your life forever and you know it’s worth it… a hundred times over!

Here are just few of those many things that make fatherhood such a great experience. You can add to this list by sharing your own experiences. (To do so, click Post Comment, below.)

• Looking into those beautiful eyes and hearing your baby say, “I love you Dad.” (And your child hasn’t even begun talking yet.)
  
  
• Coming home to your baby after a particularly trying day at work, and realizing that you have never felt better in your life
  
  
• Discovering the child in you all over again, as you get down on your knees to play with your baby
  
  
• Taking endless pictures of your baby, and still feeling that you just cannot have enough of them
  
  
• Taking your baby out for a walk and being aware of all the appreciative glances you are getting
  
  
• Learning a whole new language as you communicate with your baby
