Nora dumped her pacifiers last night. This and potty training were the things I feared. Potty training isn’t going well at all, so as a consolation prize we started suggesting to dump the pacis. She doesn’t need them – she hasn’t had them in the car for months now (though, those were some brutal car [...]
Congratulations to Mary and Michael, who delivered Benjamin Vincent R. The boy is as cute as a button, and very attentive. He’s got some lungs on him too. I’m thrilled that our boys will be so close in age. I couldn’t help but backslap Michael repeatedly. I’m sure he’s bruised but seriously, can you blame [...]
I dimly remember yesterday being hot. Outside of a few isolated events, I barely remember yesterday. The difficulty is that most of the last two and a half years were like that. People (as in, older people with kids) kept telling me that once you have a child, your life moves in fast forward until [...]
Nora and I had a chance to spend some extra time together yesterday since Lisa stayed out later than expected. Some thoughts: She’s really latched onto Dora. That’s probably because it’s the only show we let her watch. She likes Sesame Street but I have no desire to let her watch more than 30 minutes [...]
Nora loves Ikea. She loves the carts that go in all sorts of directions. She loves the furniture layouts – she liked a certain room layout, found a book, sat on the rug and started reading to herself. She absolutely loves the designs for rooms for kids her size. She didn’t see Smalland of course, [...]
Nora most definitely shares my taste in music. She likes pop, she likes punk, she likes some hip-hop (she rocked out to Common’s “Be” in the womb). She enjoys dancing to big band and swing on the Urge music channel (but, she doesn’t like listening to it in the car). Most recently, as I was [...]
So, Nora has finally eased up on me. I’m certainly jinxing myself as I write this, but it’s worth celebrating. For the last few… months, Nora has had an extremely strong preference for Mommy. No matter what I did, as soon as she saw Mommy, it was all over. It was ok when the two [...]
This year’s father’s day was laid back, because I didn’t commit to do anything (ergo, Lisa couldn’t plan anything). The concept behind Father’s day is a silly one; I celebrate being a dad by doing very little parenting. To me, it seems the opposite should be true but Lisa wasn’t about to let that become [...]
I left work early because Lisa was sick. As soon as I got home, Lisa went to bed. It was just the Tiny and me. Because Lisa has been in various stages of sick (today was allergies) I’ve had a chance for a lot more one on one time than usual. It’s been awesome. She’s [...]
We haven’t been as formal about telling everyone that Lisa is pregnant; if you’re reading this and finding out for the first time, surprise! I’ll write more at length soon, but for the time being – First: I’m terrified. There isn’t a book or article or tv show that doesn’t go into depth of how [...]
