It was delightful to see all the dads with their kids. I delight in watching my own sons with their kids. One son came home with his 2 year old daughter after a divorce, and he was a very involved dad, and raised a delightful daughter. My other son had a baby 4 weeks ago, and we had the wonderful experience of going to New York to visit, and watch another new dad in action. He's great with his new son, and plans to stay at home with him for several months when his wife returns to work.
Hi! I really enjoyed being the first dad on the show! If you'd like to continue following my adventures with 4 small children, I do occasionally post on twitter as dadwith4.
