Simon is possessed
Can you quiet down? I have to bounce.
Simon said this to Mary and I last night at around 10:30 pm. We were entering our third hour of trying to get him to sleep and were very tempted to just leave him there on the couch and go to bed ourselves. Really – how long could [...]
The neglectful father strikes again
If there is any “secret” or strategy to being a work at home dad, it would be to take advantage of every free minute you have. I am able to spend more time on my business than most at home parents as I neglect things like personal hygeine and cleaning the house. It is a [...]
AHHH! It’s commin’ right for us!
Even though this is my second child, it is new to me. Simon is crawling now and its absolutely amazing. Vinny never really crawled, he just went from flopping around on the floor to cruising. This morning something just finally clicked in Simon’s head and now he is tearing up the place [...]
Holy crap, I have a two year old
What happened to my well mannered, cuddly little boy? He has been replaced by an obstinate little monster that navigates his day from tantrum to tantrum. And, in true Vincent style, he tackles life’s milestones well ahead of the curve because he isn’t even two yet. OK, so its not really that [...]
Back to normal
I can finally get back down to the business of blogging now that my DT’s have subsided enough to type again. Basically going a month without a reliable computer have really dampened my style (wait, I don’t have a style).
Unfortunately I can’t blame my lack of work entirely on computer problems, my boys are [...]
4 Rainy or snowy day activities for your toddler
Over the last couple of weeks, I think there have been 2 days that weren’t raining. I have a 21 month old and a 7 month old and, without a little creativity (very little on my part) and ingenuity we all would be suffering from cabin fever. Not to mention that, even on [...]
Back in the saddle
I have been finding it difficult to focus lately on just about anything. Partly because of my boys not sleeping well and partly because of other stresses – my sleep has been totally screwed up so, during the day, its all I can do to keep the kids entertained during the day. On [...]
Vinny’s first Halloween
Yes, Vinny is almost 21 months old so technically this will be his second Halloween but for our own selfish pursuits (i.e. dressing him up in something painfully cute) this will be his first. Truthfully, I don’t even remember what, if anything, we did last year for Halloween but this year will be fun [...]
Need to pay more attention
On occasion, we let Vinny watch TV – usually one or two shows on Disney is all he gets for the day. The other day, we let him watch Shrek . . . oh my goodness we have created a monster.
Now he goes around talking about Shrek and Donkey all day – asking for [...]
My 20 month old son loves Gwen Stefani
My son is infatuated with Gwen Stefani and it’s all my fault. Vincent, all of 20 months old, asks (several times a day) to watch either “Hee Hoo” (a.k.a. “Sweet Escape”) or “Tick Tock” (a.k.a.”What are you waiting for?” He will actually get up and dance along with it and try to sing [...]
