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
Posted on September 27, 2007 - Filed Under Parenting, Stay At Home Dad | Leave a Comment
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 […]
The light at the end of the tunnel

Make no mistake of it - I love both of my children and I think its awesome to have two little boys so close together (20 months and 6 months). Its fun to think that when my oldest, Vinny, thinks back to his childhood he will likely only remember having a little brother. […]
Never underestimate the benefits of personal hygiene

It happens to most stay at home moms and dads I am sure. As you go through your routine with the kids, a good deal of the day is spent cleaning (or re-cleaning). From baby butts to hands and faces, counter tops, floors, and dishes, so many things need to be cleaned. […]
That took way too long

Simple things - at least things that should be simple - take far more time when you have 2 kids. For example - the post previous to this one too 4+ hours to complete from start to finish because of all the interruptions. What normally would take maybe 15 minutes has been turned […]
Some days you just have to be lazy

I should feel guilty - its nearly 5pm and me, my wife, and two children are still in our PJs.
While any given family on Labor Day travels hundreds of miles to visit some part of the country that was recently evacuated by some other family going on vacation, we are just enjoying a day of […]
Thats what happens when you have kids

It was rather offensive . . . I can’t believe my wife actually put up with it and I certainly would not have gone out in public this way.
I badly needed a shower.
Thats what happens when you have kids. There are so many things that have to be done for them on […]
What happened to fall?

Yes, I know it is still technically summer but the last week or so around here had been quite fall-like. Temps were in the 60s during the day and 40s at night. We even had to resort to bringing out the long PJs for my son because it was quite chilly. Then […]
