Three quick posts for the price of one today, dawg. Let’s go! TRAPPED IN A CLOSET A while ago, lil KJ outgrew his crib, so we upgraded him to his own bed. For the most part, it’s been alright. Sometimes, though, I miss the containment of the crib. Take the other night, for example. I had put him down to […]
Kids passing out in random places is hilarious, man. Like, I personally have never been so tired that I just had to curl up and sleep on anywhere but a bed, couch or chair. Well, except for the time when I fell asleep on my floor, face first, in a plate of Chinese food But that doesn’t count, because I […]
One of the cool parts about being a parent is the never-ending string of learning experiences. Not just by your kids, though, but by you, too. It’s always something, man. Bedtime for kids is a common source of chaos, in our house. Take the other night, for example, when my house was almost set ablaze by a pair of underwear. […]
As a thirty-something year old dude, I’m still fairly young. On occasion, however, thirty-something can feel like one hundred-something. Like it or not, a generation gap getween parents and child is evident. You see, it’s easy to forget that some things which are common to me, are completely foreign to my kids. I’m sure we all remember our parents telling […]
With 2015 coming to an end, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the year that was. And with all of the reflecting, I came to an unexpected realization…… Shopping with children kind of sucks sometimes. Back in the day, pre-kids, there wasn’t much to it. If I had to make a trip to a store, I could do […]
Like a lot of people in Canada, my family has gotten sick this year. We have a bad case of….. Toronto Blue Jays fever! For the first time in forever (word to Elsa and Anna), the Jays are a playoff team, And, for the first time ever, my kids (B especially) are actually into the games. For longtime […]
I don’t discuss it very often on here, but getting the kids to go to bed remains an ongoing problem for us. The struggle is real, man. At this point, I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery, than I do of telling B and J to go to sleep and have them happily oblige, with no […]
One of the cool things about small children is that they are easily entertained. “I’m bored!” is not really in their vocabulary yet, so they can always find some way to amuse themselves. Currently, my kids like to play ‘camping’, for example. They can play that for like an hour at a time. I have no clue what […]
For real, I’ve never really been afraid of a lot things. Horses and heights come to mind, but I got over those fears. More recently, though, one thing scared me more than anything else: Extended time on my own with both kids. What? I mean, my kids are my world, I love spending time with them. Don’t get […]
One skill that I get to work on a lot at home is negotiation. Nothing is easy with the kids, that goes without saying. However, B is in this phase where he’s always looking to cut deals, on basically everything. Eating meals, bedtime, getting ready, cleaning up etc… all this stuff is done once a mutually beneficial agreement has been […]
