Last year, at around this time, I wrote a post that ended with me being doomed. This was a result of Julianna successfully performing in her first recital. I was correct. Today she performed in her second recital. Here’s how it all went down: September, 2011. Weekly ballet class begins. Same teacher as last year.

The Year That Rocked
Today Chloe turns 3. Another year, another birthday. Friday the 13th. A lucky day indeed. I remember when we were in triage in the maternity ward a few hours before Chloe was born. There was another mom-to-be a few curtains away. I am pretty sure it was her first kid. We were professionals at this
Date of Birth
Today Julianna turns 4. Another year, another birthday. Today was not only the end of a week-long birthday celebration, but also a chapter in Julianna’s Excellent Adventure.

The Little Moments
The big moments in my parenting life are easy to remember. Daddaism was designed to be a place where Dads could share those moments. That’s what it is for me. That’s what it could be for you. Full disclosure: I love writing on this blog. I wish I wrote more but what I’m sharing here
