Feeling Old vs. Being Old

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

Kids these days. When I was a kid, actually old people didn’t really complain about being actually old. Though, they might have occasionally moan-bragged about how tough they had it when they were whippersnappers.

What We See vs What He Sees

Posted under NOTEBOOK

This post is a partnership between Dyson and HowToBeADad.com   Even before he could walk, my youngest son loved “cleaning.” His first obsession toy was a hand vacuum. After he burned out the battery from sheer use, I began to wonder if this was a sign of a future calling. I’ll admit I tilted my […]



My Wife Just Texted

My Wife Just Texted??? #165

Posted under "MY WIFE JUST SAID..."

There are the occasional times when we leave our phones unattended and unlocked. I’m not referring to myself here, since people have joked that my iPhone and earbuds are part of my body’s anatomy, but for other people it happens from time to time. Of those times, mischievous people sometimes get a hold of them. […]



“Big/Small” : Convos With My 2-Year-Old

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

When your child starts arguing with you about something that makes no sense, it can sometimes be simply a clever ploy to get at something else they’re interested in. Or it can simply be crazy talk. Don’t try to think about it too much, just go with the flow. Subscribe to ConvosWith2YrOld to follow the […]



Kid’s Day – Scrabble Scribble #8

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

  It makes sense when you think about it from a kid’s perspective: there’s a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day, so why not a Kid’s Day, right? Totally right, if it weren’t for all of the wrongness that comes from the fact that we parents spend every single one of our days slaving to […]



baby says I love You

Saying “I Love You” at TWO-MONTHS-OLD???

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

I’ve never really paid much attention to all of the average times, sizes, weights and milestone whatnots of parenting, but this amazing. The first time a dad hears his child says the words “I love you” is priceless, but this is made extraordinary by how early it happened! Or maybe it was all just hiccups. […]



Going to the Bathroom Like a Ninja

Posted under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Going to the bathroom with a youngling is never the wisest decision, but the functions of your body and the circumstances of life are just as much never concerned with things like wisdom or decision. Especially after you drink several pots of tea or coffee. So, the cruel fates of parenthood may place you in […]



Toddler with the Voice of a Grown Man? (VIDEO)

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

Imagine asking a little kid a question and hearing a man’s voice answer you back. Well stop. We’ve got the power of the internet, you don’t need to imagine! I always had an unusually deep voice as a kid, but this is hilarious and weird. This dad took video conversations with his son and digitally […]



“Dreams” : Convos With My 2-Year-Old

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

If you thought talking about dreams could get weird, try discussing them with a toddler. Dreams are a bit wacko by default, but just discussing normal, everyday things with kids can be difficult. So, get ready for a lot of physical demonstrations and maybe even sound effects and some visual aids to bring clarity to […]

My Wife Just Texted… #163

Posted under "MY WIFE JUST SAID..."

Sometimes my wife, Lizzie, knows just what to say to me. Even when she doesn’t know it. They say “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” but some ways of getting there are much faster than others. PIZZAAAAAA!!! ““ Previous “My Wife Just Said…” Kid faces only a mother could love. Follow […]
