The Father's Playbook for Parenting Intro

Every night I sit in Phoebe's room, my eldest daughter, putting her to sleep in the glider with her head on my shoulder and her stuffed kitty in her hand. As I gently rock her to sleep each night, I have these 20 minutes to think about anything and everything. Most nights its about work or something around the house that needs to be attended to, but more nights than not, I was wondering how to share the experiences with other fathers who are as new as I am. I guess I wish I had learned about how to work with a baby. I know there are books out there talking about parenthood. There are those geared to both parents, those aimed at just the mothers, and a few really written for Fathers. What I failed to find was those written for Fathers that was created for quick reference. In some ways, I was looking for a play book so I could pick a play to use for what ever situation I encountered. This book is a compilation of my and other father's that I have shared stories with, regarding the raising of our children. Hope that it is helpful, but more so an enjoyable read.
