Awesome, Chris. Just remember, if you ever feel like complaining about lack of sleep or anything else... parents have been going through the same stuff for a long, long time.

Also, prepare for this to be fun... even hilarious at times. Before you know it, you'll be living through out-of-left-field stuff like this:
_____________________
We were at Myrtle Beach one April for a long weekend when our youngest was about 2 1/2. The four of us had just come back from breakfast, thrown on our suits, and were the only ones in the pool. It was probably around 9:30 or 10, and there was a chilly wind blowing off the ocean... overcast day.

The pool was heated, so one is quite comfy until it comes time to get out. We had been in about 15 minutes when our little kiddo in the kiddie pool leans over the guard bar and whispers to his mom, “I need to tee tee.”

Mom considers the agony of one of us drying him in the cold wind, running to the elevator shivering, going up to the room, etc. and whispers back, “It’s okay... you can tee tee in the pool.”

His reply: “Okay.”

About 20 seconds later, we’re talking and we hear the sound of running water... we turn and see him standing with his toes curled over the edge of the pool and his red trunks down around his ankles... shivering... his whole body quaking while holding his tiny manhood with both hands, his chin tightly against his chest... with a nice, long yellow arc going into the main part of the pool.

”JOEL!!!! WHAT are you DOING????” inquires Mom in a loud whisper.

”I’m lettin’ it fly, Mom,” a phrase her dad had taught him when they’d “let it fly” into the hedge in his backyard.

With a big smile on his face. He's shivering so hard that his knees are vibrating.

We looked up and saw an older couple watching from a balcony several floors up laughing so hard they were almost choking.

Also, grab a couple of John Rosemond's parenting books... he is fantastic at putting your fears at ease (am I gonna screw this up????) and giving excellent guidelines for common sense parenting:
