TV for kids and V-Tech to the Rescue

219 views

A recent article was released saying that children under 2 should not watch any TV because it can retard a child’s ability to learn new vocabulary.  And that may be true… if parents use it as a crutch instead of interacting with the child.  My child has been watching Dora and Diego and other Noggin shows since he was one and a half, and I can honestly say he has had no trouble learning new [...]

If I weren’t a dentist, I would be broke

122 views

And not for the obvious reasons.  You see my child has a peculiar collection going.  He loves toothbrushes.  He has about ten of them at any given time.  They come and they go.  Sometimes he’ll leave one on the floor, where the dog will find it and proceed to destroy it.  Sometimes one will simply disappear, presumably into the same blackhole that eats my socks.  And when he loses one, he wants another. Months ago, [...]

I’m supposed to pee where?

116 views

Hilarious potty training stories. Nathan is just 2 years old, and my wife has decided to start potty training him.  She must have taught him the word penis, because I sure as heck didn’t. My wife told me to show him how to pee while sitting down.  I prefer not to.  I think he’s smart enough to watch me pee standing up.  Anyway, before bath time, he’ll sit on his potty and watch me pee.  [...]

I Miss Dora

143 views

I miss Dora and Boots.  And I miss Diego and his annoying pet jaguar.  I miss them because I have learned that the alternatives are even worse. Have you ever seen Wonderpets, the adventures of a baby duck, turtle and hamster?  Its horrible.  It;s so sugary sweet with the lessons that it  rots the brain.  My wife loves it, thinks the lisp the duck has (his name is Ming-Ming) is adorable.  It drives me nuts. [...]

Onions, Avacado, Beets- Oh My!

130 views

So we went to my wife’s sister’s house on Sunday for a little birthday gathering, and she has all of this leftover food prepared for my two year old: Beef and noodles, potatoes, string beans, sweet potato and a variety of other things.  Does he want any of this?  Of course not! What does he want?  Yummy beets, the onions that are stewing in the beet juice, and plain avocado chunks in lemon sauce.  It’s just [...]

Sleeping on the couch

91 views

Two weeks and counting. That’s how long I’ve been sleeping on my couch.  Not that I’m complaining. Why am I sleeping on the couch, you may ask?  Well, if you have been reading my blog, you know that I have a newborn daughter,  That is not the problem.  The problem is, I have a dog.  And now just any dog, but a livable Daschund, who drives me crazy. Anyway, people have this misconception that wiener dogs are [...]

The Future Is Now

75 views

Two blogs on fatherhood in one night.  I must be drunk.  Or extremely tired.  Anyway, as you all know, its a scary world out there.  And as parents, all you can do is… well, the best you can do.  And at some point, you have to accept that what your children do is out of your hands. I spent some time with my brother tonight.  He’s 19 years old, just finished his Freshman year at [...]
