You couldn’t have written it to unfold any scarier. The weekend had been great. We went to sleep with every intention that we’d wake up with just another Monday, despite an ice/snow storm raining down through the overnight hours. But as the clock switched over to midnight, the baby suddenly awoke in his crib, makingContinue reading “Here Comes the Croup”

Night Terrors
Night Terrors. Even the name sounds scary, doesn’t it? Well, that’s because it is, for both child and parent alike. Fortunately for a lot of people, not every child goes through it, I’m told, and I’ve asked around and found that only a small percentage of parents I ask had a clue as to whatContinue reading “Night Terrors”
Bringing up Bébé
I just finished Pamela Druckerman’s book, “Bringing Up Bébé.” .She’s an American journalist who moved to France with her husband where they gave birth to a daughter and two twin boys and quickly learned about the vast differences in culture, parenthood, and child rearing in France versus in America. Druckerman covers a wide variety ofContinue reading “Bringing up Bébé”
Open your eyes to the world
One of the great things about fatherhood is how my son often reminds me of the vast number of things we take for granted each day, what we look at as “old hat.” My wife was giving our little guy a bath in the sink last night, something that he always seems to enjoy. TheContinue reading “Open your eyes to the world”
The ‘Singular Sensation’ that can be a date night
You can take a lot for granted before you have a kid. Before our son was born, I never thought of how easily we would come and go from the house, run an errand here and there, pick up some groceries, or grab a bite to eat, without giving it a second thought. Now, goingContinue reading “The ‘Singular Sensation’ that can be a date night”
Color blind?
During one of our favorite weekend rituals (a cup of tea and watching CBS Sunday Morning), I came across this report that I really found interesting. I thought you might too: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50137957n (sorry. WordPress won’t allow me to directly embed the video, but please give it a click and a watch) It’s amazing to seeContinue reading “Color blind?”
Change to the menu
Leaps and bounds, right into the mouth. In the past week, our little guy has added solid foods to his menu. I say solid as in mushy, but heck, it’s certainly something a little more diverse than just milk, I’m sure. Eventually we would like to begin making his food on our own. It’s amazingContinue reading “Change to the menu”
Making ‘cents’ when it comes to education
I think every parent wants their child to have better opportunities than they were able to have, or afford. Just about anyone with a child wants their child to be able to have a better life than their own (and if they don’t, then maybe they should re-think this whole parent thing). With that inContinue reading “Making ‘cents’ when it comes to education”
The TIME in bathtime
Time is going by fast. My wife is giving our son a bath as I write this. It’s Sunday night, the temperature outside is a reminder that fall’s crisp breeze will be here anytime. Inside the house, the lights are low, there’s no TVs on, and the only sounds throughout our home, other than myContinue reading “The TIME in bathtime”
What I’m Reading: Some magical quotes from “Magical Child”
I’m still reading Joseph Chilton Pearce’s “Magical Child.” Rather than bore anyone with my attempts at a book review, I thought I’d share a slew of quotes and notes I found interesting amid the next few chapters. Chapter 2 – Matrix Shift: Known to Unknown “The womb offers three things to a newly forming life:Continue reading “What I’m Reading: Some magical quotes from “Magical Child””
