The wrong kind of “firsts”

All kids have firsts. Their first word, first step, first time they tell you they love you, first birthday, first kiss, first date, first drunken bar fight, and countless others. Some firsts are good firsts. But some, not so much. Of all the firsts Dylan has had, yesterday he had one I didn’t want to … Continue reading »

Pushing the limits of my sanity

It was one of those weekends. It actually started last week. There’s been a lot going on and I am going to take a stab at saying because of all this, my temper and patience has been limited. The first news to strike is the fact that, after 23 years, my mom has been stricken … Continue reading »

One babysitter to another

I have definitely been neglectful when it comes to writing on here and Megan’s blog. I think that’s what happens when you become a parent and there’s just too much else going on. You tend to let certain things slide and I think this (among other sites I post to) have suffered as a consequence. … Continue reading »

It started with a visit to Crystal Palace where Tamara took him on his first roller coaster ride. He got a little spooked but he still had a great time playing games […] Continue reading »

My struggle with being a dad

When you read that headline, it might seem that I either don’t like it or I am having a really hard time but that in fact is not the case at all. It’s actually something else entirely. I don’t know what most people think, but for me, I have always considered myself to be somewhat … Continue reading »

Goodbye dooden, it’s been nice

Yesterday afternoon Dylan did something that neither me or Tamara expected. He willingly gave up his soother. We had been talking about trying to ween him off it around his third birthday (coming up in two weeks) so we were unsure as to how we could best go about it.

Discipline and pushing the boundary

Dylan will be 3 in a couple of weeks. In the last month, I’ve noticed a lot of different things come out in him. For starters, he’s now getting a bit spooked by noises in his room and as Tamara has said, I think he’s starting to realize that even when he goes to bed, […] Continue reading »
