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 He has been replaced by an obstinate little monster that navigates his day from tantrum to tantrum.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
Posted on October 2, 2007 - Filed Under Parenting, Stay At Home Dad | Leave a Comment
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 […]
Separation anxiety

It used to be that I was the only one what would get sad in the morning when Mary left for work. Partially because I know I miss her all day that she is gone and in part because I am disappointed that our plan failed. We had hoped to have her quit […]
Cuddle, Cuddle!

My son has become a master of social engineering. At 20 months he knows what he wants and, if it is something he cannot get on his own, he knows that he needs to employ an adult to make it happen.
A couple weeks ago, Vincent learned that is he asks for a “cuddle” then […]
