Having an infant is boring! (beehaw.org)

As of today, I have a 1 month old. She is amazing and I love her so much, but she's boring! Don't get me wrong, she's difficult and my wife and I haven't slept a good night in a month, but all she does is eat, sleep, and poop. There's basically no interaction.

I'm so looking forward to being able to laugh with her, play with her, and generally start teaching her the world.

How do you feel? What's your favorite stage of child development?

It gets so fun be patient. I have a 4 and a 7 and we play video games and it's so fun. We go on bike rides... All you gotta do is make it through a little longer, change some diapers. This is truly the hardest part, or it was for me. I was chopped liver for quite a while, but when they started talking,it started getting fun.

Also, earlier than 4yo, I couldn't get either to play video games. Hands were too clumsy and small.

They're my little buds now and I'm trying to soak it in.

The days are long, the years are short. Soak it in, friends.
