Parenting classes...

... are interesting to say the least! :)

After deciding to take a 'one day intensive' parenting class, instead of the 2 hours a week for 6 weeks approach, it was a hard day's work! :)

Watching a woman give birth turned out the be a bit more that I had bargained for, althought I wasnt phased by the bloody sight of a new born child, I was suprised at the way I was effected emotionally! Tears started welling up, which was a bit of a shock, to tell you the truth.

Other than that, we had a bit of fun, talking about how to sit on the toilet to go for a poo, how to exercise the pelvic floor and how to breastfeed! :)

We did have fun, although anyone who is wondering, I would personally recommend that you take the longer easier approach to the timing! :)

jeez you remember some crazy stuff....

...while travelling an hour on the train to work and back.

I was thinking about my (soon to be born) son, and looking forward to a whole bunch of stuff that I never really did with my father.... which is a little bit sad...

Things like:- teaching him to shave (yes, it's a long way off!)- teaching him to ride a bike- going to the footy

it's funny (sad) that the thing I remember about spending time with dad was going to his work on the weekends and playing in a factory with my little sister...
