As most parents learn when they bring their newborn home from the hospital, you don't get a training manual with the baby.

Becoming a father comes with a steep learning curve, and it's inevitable that mistakes will be made. There will be spills, slips and falls. A few baby teeth may come out before they were ready. 

But as in all relationships, you learn from your experiences and keep moving forward. Here's to you, dads. Thanks for being awesome.
