It’s a three-father Thursday in the\u00a0#40Days40Dads project<\/a>, as I make up for skipped days! Today’s second featured father is Brian. I don’t know Brian in real life<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span>, but he somehow happened upon my blog and gave some solid\u00a0dadvice. Thanks, Brian!<\/p>\n Brian\u00a0is the father of a 3.5-year-old daughter, a 2-year-0ld son and a 4-month-old daughter.<\/strong><\/p>\n What was the moment when you first felt like a father?<\/strong><\/p>\n The day my first daughter was born.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What’s your favorite part about being a father?<\/strong><\/p>\n Getting to love more than I thought possible. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What’s the hardest part about being a father?<\/strong><\/p>\n Disciplining my kids. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What’s the dumbest\/funniest thing that your kid has cried about or fought with you over?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yikes. Kids bawl about the weirdest things. My son likes to burst into tears when he doesn’t get what he wants. Very convincing actor though. Maybe he’ll have a future in acting. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What are you most proud of having taught\/shared with your kids or what are you most looking forward to teaching\/sharing with them?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I want my kids to know their Catholic faith and love as Jesus did. My biggest goal for them is for them to get to Heaven. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What’s your favorite thing about your kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n My favorite thing about my kids is seeing them smile and watching them make loving decisions. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n If you could go back in time and give yourself a piece of advice when you first became a father, what would you say?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t worry so much about the logistics. Spend more time holding and just being with them. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Any other comments to share on fatherhood?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThere should be a children\u2019s song: \u2018If you\u2019re happy and you know it, keep it to yourself and let your dad sleep.\u2019\u201d –Jim Gaffigan, comedian<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n#31:\u00a0Brian<\/h2>\n
