Picture Day

Day care sent home a letter that Picture day is next week. Now maybe it's because we have cameras on our phones these days but I started asking myself, do I really need that? Don't I have three hundred pictures of Boy Wonder in the same pose already? "Oh look! There's another one of him sleeping. I'm sorry I don't have any recent ones, this is from a month ago. He looks totally different now."…

Super Hero Training

I have terrible news to share with you. IncrediDad is no more. My new moniker is Daddy Evil . . . No, I don't like the sound of that. Let's try it again. I am BadDad! ArchNemesis to Boy Wonder. Why the sudden name change? As you know, IncrediReaders, we started him in daycare and, even though he survived pledge week, he is not a fan. The tears begin as soon as I pull into the parking lot every…

Pledge Week At Day Care

Forget about learning shapes, colors, and numbers at Day Care. I've got a theory about what really happens after we drop off our kids and head to work. To get the scoop, I've sent my faithful sidekick, Boy Wonder, deep under cover, to reveal what really happens over a week at daycare. At pick up on Tuesday, his speech was slurred. Wednesday he had red-puffy eyes. By Thursday night he was…

You'll be whistling Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah out of your assholes!!!!"- Clark Griswold, National Lampoon's Vacation Yesterday, I packed the car for what will not be…

Our San Franciscan Day

You probably figured we’d be halfway across the country by now, huh? Surprise! We are still in the same state we started, only eight hours North. We wanted to visit Bex’s side of the family for a few days. It's been a lot of fun. Of course I love spending time with family but I always look forward to a day in San Francisco. It’s on my list of Top 10 Favorite Cities in the world. Here’s…

A House Is Not A Home

We moved out of our apartment today. After weeks of packing, trashing, and cleaning, this was a really big deal for us. Obviously it was not as big of a deal for our landlord who never showed up for our move-out appointment. Martha, if you’re reading this, we left the keys and garage remote on the kitchen counter. Good bye and good luck! Maybe you remember me describing our apartment two years…

Product Review – O’Neill Baby Life Jacket

O'Neill Wake Waterski Infant USCG Vest I don't do product reviews often and **disclaimer** this is an unpaid endorsement. That being said, this life jacket is amazing and I'll tell you why. Boy Wonder hated the pool when we went on vacation this past February. I'm talking crocodile tears, shaking, and all. He put up with the kiddie pool at the waterpark in July but there were still plenty of…

Don’t Lie Or I’ll Tell Santa

Every parent lies to their kid and that is a fact. But I like to think of it as acting. In my humble opinion, if any casting agent witnessed the performances I've turned in to my kid, they'd have me on Broadway, Motion Pictures, maybe even Netflix! When I read "Car, Car, Truck, Jeep" for the five hundredth time, I still pretend like it's my first. Boy Wonder watched me pee in the toilet the…

The Dad Knight

Follow my blog with Bloglovin "Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight." - Commissioner Gordon, The Dark Knight- Also my son says this about me, you just can't understand him…

Simple Distractions

IncreiMom and I like to treat Boy Wonder to the fine dining experiences of Red Robin, IHOP, and occasionally Arby's. It's really a great deal. He shares off of my plate, which cuts calories for me. Then I burn off whatever I am able to shovel in my mouth (inside ten seconds) by chasing him around the restaurant after he declares "All done!". I don’t even feel guilty because it's dinner and a…
