Something most parents dread, the tantrum can take many forms, but almost always involves seemingly senseless crying or screaming (though in reality it actually makes a lot of sense and is an important part of growing up!).
Parker An is in the research phase of tantrums. This phase began just about a week or so ago. [...]
I was in the grocery store yesterday with Parker An. I’m used to a couple people making comments that he is cute, but yesterday it seemed like everyone in the store wanted to point it out. One woman came over and said "He’s so pretty…uh, I mean handsome…no boys can still be pretty at that [...]
Mattell has become a disgrace to the toy industry, and they don’t really seem to care about that, or about harming our kids. Just this year, over 10 million Mattell toys will have been recalled for containing lead, a substance that is absolutely known to cause serious issues in humans, including nausea, headaches, loss of [...]
“Look Dad, this says we are pre-approved for a $400,000 second mortgage! And, it’s only $23 a month. Can we, please?!”
Actually that is Parker destroying the confirmation that I paid my lifetime alumni fees in full for Ohio State. Glad those payments are over!
On Sunday, Parker and I and Grandma and Grandpa went to the [...]
I’m fiddling around with layout and colors for my blog, so it may change over the next week or so.
This week was my first back at work. I worked half-days this week to help ease Parker into daycare. He did really well, and seems to enjoy his caretaker. Right now there is only Parker and [...]
On Thursday I’m going over with Parker to my brother’s and sister-in-law’s to visit my nieces and possibly go swimming if the weather is nice. This weekend my parents are coming over, and we’re going to the zoo with Parker on Saturday. Then, Saturday night Parker and I are stopping in at my friend Tabitha’s [...]
My parents and sister came over today for a visit, we all went to lunch and then played with Parker back at my house. My sister is leaving tomorrow for a 2 week trip to Israel. This isn’t the silly part.
For Parker, my nose is suddenly “teh kewl”. Out of the blue today, while I [...]
A Death in the Yard
This weekend was nice. The weather was wonderful. On Sunday my brother had a cookout at his home. It was lots of fun, especially playing with my nieces. We played ball, and make believe Peter Pan. I had to be Captain Hook, which is fine. I usually like the bad guys, [...]
This week (starting yesterday) I am staying at my brother’s house. He and his family are in Florida at one of their houses. Sure would be nice, considering it snowed about a half inch here last night. It was about 45 today. My mom bought me a pack and play today (they’re going to Florida [...]
My baby shower was last Saturday, the 24th. It was a great time. Most of my friends and family came, and we played games, ate, talked, played with the kids, etc. Parker and I got some really great gifts that will come in very handy! I was going to post pictures from the shower, but [...]
