My husband was nervous around babies too, so on the way home from the hospital I had him stop at the grocery store. I left him in the car with our daughter while I bought some food. I figured if they were going to have a good relationship, I would have to leave them alone together. It worked. That's one of the best things I've ever done for my daughter...it's enriched both of their lives. I wish the same for you and your children. :) Roberto, I had never head of Ruby on Rails, so I had to look it up. Thanks for the lesson. :) Let me know how it goes. love-ely,

I had one moment in my life which it very fun and very challenges. That is, when I have my first baby. One time, my wife went out for buying some thing, and at the same time, my baby crying. Wow... as a young father, it is the first time I felt panic of how to calm down my baby. This is my first challenge with happiness.
