Daddy Day Care Tips

This is where I will post a complete collection of all the tips that come to mind when I make each of my posts.

Daddy Day Care Tip #1 Be the very best father you can be. No matter how bad you may have had it, even if your father wasn't around you need to be one right now! Give your blood, sweat and tears to make sure your child never wants.

Daddy Day Care Tip #2 Make sure that you are prepared for the aftermath of the visit. Your baby may be fussy, run a low-grade fever, and have knots at the injection site. These things are all normal and should not be a cause for concern, simply comfort them and let them recover in their own way. Work with them, even though it may be time for them to eat don’t get frustrated if they are not overly hungry give them a little and if they start fighting you try again a little later. Try not to use medical intervention if you can avoid it. If it’s needed please consult your physician first to make sure they agree and can inform you of the best course of action.

Daddy Day Care Tip #3 If you are going to pull the late shift to feed the girls refrain from having your credit card and or a phone near you, when your half asleep god knows what you’ll end up buying and not remember until you open the door one day and sign for a package which just so happens to contain the first set of Presidential Quarters!!

Daddy Day Care Tip #4 If you are a father of multiples make sure to come up with some type of system to really figure out which baby is which. As much as this pains me I can tell you at least 4 times I have fed the wrong child because I wasn't paying attention lol

Daddy Day Care Tip #5 As a father don’t be afraid of jumping into new things and giving them a try. I know Piggy Paint is not camouflage or black eye paint but you shouldn't hold that against them. It’s an exciting thing and I would hate for any father to miss out on even the smallest moment with their babies simply because “painting nails” is not a guy thing. I can promise you from one dad to another that before it’s all said and done I will be the best nail painter, make-up applier, hair doer in the whole world if it gives me even 10 more minutes with each one of my angels!

Daddy Day Care Tip #6 Make sure before going on a trip with 10 week old quadruplets, or really any babies at all make sure you double and triple check everything! Even things you wouldn’t think to check make sure to check them. I know that now because of this I will probably take 5 hours pre-planning on every trip we ever take from here on out.

Daddy Day Care Tip #7 Family, family, family. I can't really stress it enough. This is something that I feel should be instilled in your kids as much as possible. No matter how big or small, whole or fractured I think it needs to be worked on. Kids should be able to look in any direction and see a familiar face and a helping hand. So my real tip would be just get to know your family so your children can get to know their family.
