Back to being a man... I see some guys there with their kids. VERY FEW look like they want to be there. That is a subject for another post. What I want to address is that you can still be a "guy" and hang out with kids, change diapers, wipe snotty noses, smell for poopie diapers, etc... Here are some of my suggestions to other Dads.
- You never know when the kids will wake up in the morning - take your shower/shave the night before
- Your hair looks silly because of bed-head (reference above point) - cut your hair every-other week with a #2 clipper. It is hard to make hair that is 1/2" long look bad. If you are married, have kids (much less multiples) and you are still worried about your hair you DON'T GET IT!
- The diaper bag is, well, a diaper bag. It probably has some girly print on it - buy a backpack, check that, a REALLY cool backpack.
- You are embarrassed by driving the mini-van - park close to SUVs and laugh at them as they try to squeeze their kids in through the doors while you easily get everyone in through the sliding doors. A cocky bumper sticker is also a nice touch... Mine says "You can't scare me, I have triplets."
A great picture of my girls.....

I am blessed to have a husband that all the other wives talk about! But he has never had a child, much less triplets. You definitely do get the manly man award. Quinta is indeed blessed not to mention those sweet kiddos!
