Baby class

We went to a Baby class last Thursday.
We learned how to hold a baby, how to change a diaper, and so on.

The instructor asked how to hold the baby. When I saw Avram, he was picking the doll's toe and hanging it in the air:(

When the instructor asked what we should do when the baby cries, Avram was ready to pass the doll away to someone with smiling. Sigh... .

Avram was disappointed when he heard babies often wake up and cry at midnight. He said I can take care of the baby at night and he will during daytime. After the class we went to the library and he borrowed about twenty books. I asked why he needs so many books. He answered he reads while he's taking care of the baby and while I'm taking a nap. I said babies don't read leadership, economy, and SF stuff yet. He said we don't have to read only children's books. That's true, but I can't believe those books are for our baby.

In father's class, the instructor asked fathers what they want to teach to their children. One father said love and background of his family. Avram was saying speaking, walking, and exercising. Then I said "Answer seriously." He answered different things.
After the class I asked him if he doesn't want to tell our baby about our background, the differences, and so on. He said no. It's because motor skills are first and then learning, thinking, and e.t.c.. That's true motor skills helps to develop brains. He has a point.

He can't wait for taking our baby out, especially for his running. He thinks the baby could help his running. He thinks the baby could give him a towel or a bottle of water when he needs just like a god with a thousand hands.
Now he is thinking about his birthday hike with our new born baby though she should be only twenty days old. I won't let him do that in winter yet!

Please don't worry about our parenting. Even though Avram was having fun in the class, he listened to the instructor well and answered right. We got three prizes for three quizzes.
In those twenty books, some are about taking care of babies. He's looking forward to seeing his baby and taking care of her.

I'm happy that he has a good sleeping and nap schedule for our baby. Even now he's taking a nap because he's tired from his twenty mile run yesterday:)
