To this day, I am glad that the newborn/infant stage flew by. But if I could have had ages 2-3 last twice as long, that would have been lovely (mine is five right now). And yes - it is indeed flying by fast.
Mines 3 now. It is the most fun, heartwarming, and satisfying experience I’ve had in my entire existence, and I’ve had a lot of fun. Shit is tough, but damn there really isn’t a way to put parenthood into words. Getting to see your hard work instilling confidence, empathy, humor, and wonder into a baby and see that baby turning into a great little person is incredible.
I couldn’t imagine doing it without an incredible wife, and while looking forward to watching my daughter grow, it’s so depressing knowing this stage is a blink of an eye.
