Papa Practice

Now I know that being inside Mama's tummy for 9 months makes it seem like Mama's doing all the work, but that's only 95% true. Papa's trying to make the most of his 5%. Recently, Mama borrowed a baby doll for her and Papa to take to a baby class at the hospital. They called her "B.B." Well, the class went well, but they haven't returned B.B. back. So, Papa took the opportunity to practice some of his Papa skills. He started with the basics and read up on how to take care of me. Thanks to the Starks, Papa's got a great book to get him started.

Papa has a hard time reading; he needs to concentrate.

Papa first practiced carrying B.B. on his front...
...and then he tried burping...
Now it looks like Papa's struggling with the car seat, but Mama helped on that one.
I don't think I'm as heavy as B.B., but Mama will tell you otherwise. Look how strong Papa is!
Now, Papa really shouldn't have anything to worry about here. B.B.'s a girl doll. But, she doesn't know that Papa doesn't know! Pretty sneaky...
*cringe* Papa swaddled B.B. pretty tight... Take it easy Papa!
Well, at least he was gentle with B.B. putting her into the crib. 4.5 bottles out of 5!

Overall, I think Papa's going to do okay. But, I think I need to challenge him! So, I'll make sure I change the rules on him later... heh heh heh...
