In a previous post I talked about how difficult it was to not laugh sometimes when my girls say or do things that are funny. I live in a household dominated by females. The women in my life have different terms than I do for some of the most common human interactions. My daughters (both

The More Change, The More Same
My younger daughter, Chloe, is almost 13 months younger than Julianna. Chloe is almost 19 months old. They are different in almost all ways. Chloe has thin, straight hair (think Cousin It first thing in the morning). Julianna has Little Orphan Annie curly hair. Chloe is a hardcore mischievous trouble-maker. Julianna is a calculating assassin.
Here’s The Poop
Poopy potty. That’s what we call it. We visit the poopy potty multiple times a day. We haven’t gone warm turkey just yet on the diapers but maybe we’re getting there. Julianna is definitely at the stage where she doesn’t like being in a dirty diaper. Accuracy. That is what we’re dealing with now. She
Speaking English Good
Julianna says things that are funny all the time and its really hard to not constantly laugh. Chloe has just recently started putting words together at a frightening rate. My wife and I decided on a kid-communication strategy “long” ago. We talk about everything with the girls. We are constantly describing things, asking them questions,
Belle With The Balls
Halloween is coming. What we are all dressing up as has become a central conversation piece in my house. In just a few weeks, it will be here. This is the first year that we really have to plan for Halloween. I’m actually pretty excited about most of it. Julianna is old enough now to
Good Things Come In 3s???
To 3 or not to 3? That is the question. I just don’t know what to do. My wife and I have 2 awesome daughters. They are naturally the greatest kids on the planet. We are extremely happy with them and are certainly blessed to have them. If I don’t have any more kids, I’d
Write. Right?
Are you a daddy? I created this blog (and future website) to create a community of dads talking about parenting. The goal isn’t for this to be a blog filled with my own personal stories. I have my own perspectives but I’m sure you do too. I think it’s important for this blog to have
You’ve Got A Friend In She
Sometime recently when I must not have been looking, my daughter went from being just sisters to also being friends. I don’t exactly know how it happened but it is really fun to watch. My younger daughter (Chloe) is almost 1.5 years old and my older daughter (Julianna) is almost 13 months older. They are
The Isms of Parenting
I’m a relatively new parent. I have two daughters. My older daughter is 2.5 years old and my younger daughter is 1.5. I suspect I’m not alone when I say that I’ve been very interested in being involved in my childrens’ lives since I found out my wife was pregnant, both times. The day I
