My Son is Going to Grow Up Thinking This is Normal.

July 23, 2010

It’s astounding to me that this is the new “normal” for my son’s generation. Phones that play games and shoot video (this video shot on my wife’s new HTC Aria–a fantastic lower-total-cost iPhone 3G competitor), and playing digital peek-a-boo with people hundreds (or even thousands) of miles away. Enjoy.

The Adventure of the Swimmie Diapers. (scatological humor involved)

June 8, 2010

I have a long, awkward, complicated relationship with swimmie diapers. When I was in college, I was a security guard at a Holiday Inn in Florida for one summer. One of my primary jobs was to ensure that children of diapered age were properly adorned. I’d carry around a pink/purple stack of swimmies and approach [...]

Yeah, he’s got a terrible streak. He’s impossible to discipline. He will frequently “go boneless” in a parking lot to avoid being put in his car seat. But there are times like Saturday that make it all worth it. We went to “Monkey Joe’s” — which in the original Greek translates more closely to “How [...]

Potty Training in a Public Restroom.

May 17, 2010

When I first saw that positive pregnancy test roughly 2 years and 9 months ago, a lot of thoughts filled my head. Throwing ball in a park with my son. Teaching him how to ride a bike. Tender moments before bed praying to Elmo. Here’s a bit that didn’t make the mental brochure: Trying to [...]

Mother’s Daze.

May 9, 2010

My wife is incredible. She’s a great mom, and even in the midst of this crazy stage of life with a move and quasi-bedrest and an unwieldy (almost) tw0-year-old, she’s shone far brighter than the jewelry she got for mother’s day (yep, that’s a shout-out to me.

I used to be a Rapper.
