Daddy Diaries – I Have Charred Nipples

As most of you have heard, I am a first time Dad now.  My 3-month-old is the light of my life and I feel like I'm learning the ropes pretty good.  I'm gagging less with each dirty diaper, and I've learned the difference between a onesie, a sleeper, and a romper after a few insults from my wife.  Who knew there was a difference?  Well, this morning I had my first "Bad Daddy" experience as I was trying to be a "Good Daddy."  I put the dirty bottles in the dish washer and got it started.  I put the nipples and collars on the stove to boil.  I went outside to cut the grass.  An hour later, my sister-in-law, who was babysitting ran outside with a smoking pot in one hand and the baby in the other.  Oops!  I forgot something.  So, off I go to Babies R Us for more nipples and collars (there's a corrupt priest joke there somewhere).  I will also be stopping by Bed, Bath, and Beyond to see if I can find a new soup pot somewhere in the Beyond!  Oh well, I'm sure it won't be the last mistake I make as a Dad, but I'll be sure to let you know when I do.
