New Father Advice?

Today at work, one of my coworkers who just let us know he was going to be a first time dad, asked me for my advice for new dads. I couldn't come up with anything at the time but the question has stuck with me through the evening and I thought I'd write about it here. This is my advice to all new dads:
1) Take any advice you're given with a grain of salt. Everyone out there has an opinion about what will work and what did work, but in the end you have to find out what works for you.
2) Love your children, no matter what is going on. You are being blessed with the opportunity to raise someone in this world and the more you love them, the better you can work through the bad and enjoy the good.
3) Stay involved in everything your child does. Read to them, play with them, cuddle with them. Each minute you have to spend with your child is a minute well spent. Read them good stories using all your voices to make it more interesting. Sing a funny song to them and don't be afraid to jump in and act silly. After all, if you can't be silly with your kids, where can you be?
4) Take it one day at a time. Even the best laid plans will fall apart. Just go with it. Improvise and be resourceful. Life is what you make of it, so why not make it fun?
Last but not least, set a good example for your child. Try to learn something new each day and encourage them to do the same. The way your child lights up when they realize they just got a new concept will melt your heart and fill you with warmth.
