"You are a guy. Therefore, you are funny, or at least you probably think you are. Your sense of humor may even be one of the reasons your wife was attracted to you in the first place. Now it's time to start using your comic talent to entertain the little squirt. Find the fun in goofing around with your baby. Because, honestly, what else do you do with babies besides change their diapers and feed them? Your instincts will guide you to treat your baby like the only person at an amusement park or the only member in the audience of your own late-night show."
Ok, first of all, I love that they refer to the baby as 'little squirt' in this article, especially since I call our baby little monster. Second, my husband has a great sense of humor. He loves to joke around. I always say I will be raising two children because he is just such a kid at heart.
This is why I see no issue with this at all. He sometimes gets uncomfortable with children because he doesn't always know how to react to them but then he always tries to do something funny to off-set the mood. It's just how he is. Now the kids don't always think he's funny, but I laugh because at least he is trying! I can see puppet shows, dancing dogs and a lot of singing in our future.
