Being parent - The introduction

For one month my wife and me have had the fantastic experience of becoming parents for the first time. And I guess we're like all other parents in most aspects. Our baby is the worlds most beautiful little revelation and he is fun to watch, even when he is staring empty into thin air.
But nobody told me that this creature had similarities with an army vehicle, namely the tank.
Meet the Nikolas WMC Tank
The Nikolas tank comes equipped with the basic package, but shows no mercy.
His cannon are showing steadily brute force and shoots without no warning when feeling danger. Danger can be daddy removing diaper or having slightly cold hands when trying to clean up the mess "down there". At latest measurment his cannon has shown reach beyond 60 CM. So far, the bathroom tiles are not breaking down from the harsh attacks...
His target precision is getting more accurate for each day that passes, and daddy is now thankful for all his promo t-shirts.
His armour seems to have an alarmsystem that is not adjusted properly yet. When trying to remove outer layer the alarm (read crying for the slow learners) goes off in a loud setting. It really doesn't matter if he has been driving through muddy terrain (read left a poo). The Nikolas WMC Tank likes dirt and mud much more than go through maintanance.
His fuelsystem is off the charts. The consumption of gas cannot be displaced fast enough and if his fuel tank are getting close to zero, the famous alarm goes off.
Actually, the alarmsystem really needs adjusting. It can sometimes go off for no reason in the middle of the night when parked in the garage (crib). It seems that his liking for close combat (read hugs and kisses) makes the garage a dull place...

Apart from the need for tweaking the system setup we are thrilled to have the Nikolas WMC (worlds most charming) tank in the house. If you haven't guessed it by now. The latest addition to the family is a wonderful boy named Nikolas.

I promise regular updates on how this superb creation fare with family and friends.

Hehe, kostelig! Den kvinnelige utgaven av disse tanksene har samme behov for vedlikehold, men heldigvis skyter de ikke med presisjonsvåpen sånn som den mannlige utgaven du har fått deg. Derimot hender det at de skyter med spredningsvåpen som også kan ha terroriserende effekt.
