As the parent of two teenage sons, life is full of emotion and we have constant chaos. One of the things that I am trying to instill in them is a sense of responsibility. I thought we were past the stage of “when it breaks, dad will buy me a new one.” Not that I did that very often anyway.
Sometimes you Just. Want. Them. To. Go. To BED!!! But you should never (Never!) pass up an opportunity to talk to your kid. Even when you know that tomorrow AM will Not Be Fun as a result.
Well then pull up a stool, there’s plenty of room at the bar! I’ll get this round and let’s have a little chat. First, let me congratulate you on choosing one of the few blogging frontiers that’s still relatively uncharted. Sure, there are a few well-known dad bloggers out there, but as far as sheer numbers go, ours is still an intimate little group. I may be talking out my ass (but then again, isn’t that what blogging is all about?), but I’ll bet for every one of us, there’s probably 10 or so moms doing the blogging thing. What does this mean? A lot more opportunity.
Bedtime. At the end of the day, that word can mean many wonderful things. It can mean peace, alone time with the wife and even some late night television. But when it comes to a toddler, the word can take on a completely different meaning. Tears, screams and the fight to resist the temptation to grab your child and soothe him or her to sleep can disrupt many parents’ night. But those rough nights can be converted into a smooth transition with the implementation of a simple concept: the routine.
I know I am not the only one that has a penny jar taking up way too much space somewhere at home. The question is what can you do with its contents. Well, you could "save for a rainy day," or maybe go to your local bank and ask for some penny rolls and start counting. I might have the coolest idea yet and you can help save the planet while you are at it. It's Coinstar's "Change for our Earth Campaign."
When dealing with a toddler, we’ve all had times when it just seems they can’t stay out of anything. They’re curious of course, but there are times when we just want them to find something harmless to play with, if only to give us just a few minutes of peace. Recently though, I’ve stumbled upon a way to lessen the madness of chasing a toddler around all day. By sacrificing the few precious moments of peace, I’ve gained the pleasure of watching my 17-month-old begin his learning odyssey.
