Hi! My name’s Kenny And I’m the proud dad of Alix (3 years old) and Aster (1 year old). Whenever my girlfriend asks if the baby is alright, I send her a picture. In this book, I’ve collected some of the best ones. I’ll also give you some tips and tricks on how to be a dad. Trust me, I’ve been a parent for three whole years. I know a few things!

Being a dad starts with the birth of your first child. This means you have zero responsibilities until the baby gets here. Becoming a dad might sound stressful, but don’t worry: Here are some tips to guide you through the last moments before fatherhood becomes official. Step 1: Relax, and wait until your pregnant partner yells at you that it’s time to go to the hospital. Step 2: Prepare yourself by packing a bag with these MUSTHAVE items: Diet soda (Not regular. Your partner will steal it because “she needs the sugar.”) Comfortable pants Game console This book Cell phone charger “Get Out of Jail Free” Monopoly® card Step 3: Make sure your phone is always charged. You finally have an excuse to be on your phone all the time. Take this opportunity to finally beat that Candy Crush level you’ve been stuck on forever. Step 4: When your partner calls, get ready to go to the hospital. This is when it will all get real. Panic! No time to keep your cool. THIS IS WHEN IT ALL GETS REAL! Luckily this panic attack will only last for about 10 minutes, slowly you will start to think rationally again. Your sense of responsibility returns and you start will looking for some

peace of mind. Sure enough this peace of mind quickly turns into the lyrics of Baby Shark. This isn’t helping. Step 5: Once in the hospital, your partner is in good hands. You will be kind of useless. Don’t stress and let it all play out. Your partner will probably take photos of you sleeping as evidence you didn’t do much. But don’t worry, you’ve got that “Get Out of Jail” card!

Step 6. When it’s time to go to the delivery room, don’t worry, you still have some spare time. Every delivery room has a monitor. You can use this monitor to connect your game console to help calm your nerves and relax until the baby comes.

It’s important to get to know your baby. Spend as much time with each other as you can. They have things to learn from you. And who knows? You might learn something from them.
Never be a sore loser.

You need to challenge your baby intellectually as soon as possible. This can be done by giving it something to hold, playing it something to listen to, or simply letting it try some math equations.
