I was 34 when my son was born, 43 when my youngest daughter was born. I'm a different parent entirely. I don't sweat the small stuff like I used to. I don't "over parent" like I did with my first child.
I'm also a much less physical dad. I have accumulated a few injuries over the years, so I'm not as likely to play soccer in the yard or wrestle on the floor for hours. I still work long days and I don't have even half the energy for parenting that I had years ago. Still, I'm glad we decided to have another baby and I can't imagine our lives without her.
