Dear Moi, it's that time of year, when there are so many people about. Out in the stores, they have their little ones and you hear them talking.

A mom with her newborn; "I'm simply exhausted!"
And someone replies, "It'll get easier, once he sleeps though the night."
A mom with a two year old: "She really keeps me on my toes."
And someone says, "You'll get a minute to yourself, when she goes to school."
A dad with a five year old, "Questions questions questions!"
And someone smiles, "They stop that once they hit 10 or 12, because they know it all!"
Parents and their teens: "It's always a fight with the clothes, the friends, and *everybody else's mom lets their kid do it*!"
And someone sighs, "Oh, I remember that phase!"

You always think it's going to be easier after this *thing* has passed. And it will. And some other phase comes along. Just enjoy the ride.

Remember, you are never done. You will always be Dad. Your sense of humor is going to take you a long way.
