Four days ago I went into the mountains for camp. That means four days without seeing my one-year-old son. I’ve gone to camps before, but he’s grown so much we weren’t sure how he would react. Last night when I came back he was fast asleep. This morning he woke up. I heard him stirring … More Day After
Leo’s grandparents made it into town today. They live just far enough so it isn’t so easy for them to make it over here very often, so we wanted to make a day of it. There was still a bit of chill in the air, so we couldn’t go out for too long, but we … More Family Outing
I’m still fighting with my sinus/ear infection. I’ve been told it isn’t really that contagious, so that’s good. Every now and then there is a touch of dizziness or a stab of pain. But that kind of feels like a ‘such is life’ statement. Despite not feeling my best, there is still a little guy … More Fathering in Sickness
I wish I were a better sleeper. One of the things I inherited from my mother is her difficulty getting to sleep. It isn’t insomnia or anything too terrible, but o do have a hard time convincing myself to go to sleep. There is a point where my body says “Now!” and if I miss … More Early Morning

I had a bit of an adventure today and would love to share the full details. The only problem is I also spent the entire evening in Papa mode. Don’t get me wrong, Papa mode is awesome. Me and my little guy played and sang and danced. We laughed and even tickled a little. The … More Almost Bedtime
My son eats. A lot. He is a few months shy of being two, but he eats the same as some adults I know. Since he is still limited in his ability to eat certain foods, it sometimes means making two separate meals at dinner time. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m about to talk … More Feeding my Son
My little guy woke up early this morning. Since i woke up as well we ended up spending a good portion of time together. Although it is an exhausting way to spend time, playing with a little cuddle bug, dancing guy is a hilarious way to spend the morning.. But after four hours I was … More Fathering Day
Three nights a week I pick my son up from daycare. For the past few months it has been freezing much too cold (to steal from the West Wing.) When it is that cold I feel my only real choice is to take the bus back. Buses here are nice and run fairly on time, … More Walking home with Leo
Short post. It is 10:15 at night and instead of getting sleepy my one-year old is dancing. Please just go to sleep. I want to take a shower.
