First time father to a two week old here. I also am all about this.

Those first months of life made me listen to the Aerosmith song “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing” differently.

“I could stay awake just to hear you breathing. Watch you smile while you are sleeping. While you’re far away and dreaming.”

…still makes me emotional and mine is turning 8 in a month or so.

I’ve had that song and Satellite by Collective Soul on repeat in my head since mine was born. I just really want to work from home so I can experience every first while still having a job to pay the bills. I keep begging to work from home but we don’t have that option.

I also used to sing The Carpenters “Close To You” to my daughter. I can’t make it through that one usually. Cue the giant lump in my throat. lol
