I work at a school that currently only has kindergarten and first grade students. Little people love to hug so trust me when I tell you kids are hugging each other and staff all day long. I try to avoid this love fest for a myriad of reasons, but mostly because I know how suspect [...]
Dev following me into the bathroom... "Hey Daddy, before you close the door I want to ask you something." "Sure, what is it?" "When are we going to start building?" he asked, referring to us tackling one of his massive 936-piece Lego sets that he got for his birthday. (I haven't been feeling well so [...]
Do you remember at what point you stopped calling your father "daddy"? I don't recall the age when?I switched to "dad", but I'm almost 100% certain I wasn't five. Recently my boy decided to try on "dad" to see how it fit, and he appears to like it. I, on the other hand, am feeling [...]
I've mentioned many times before that I am a shameless Hip-Hop fan. I recently walked past Common and Serena Williams hanging out together in Manhattan on the night the hot tennis star beat her sister in the U.S. Open and it took all my might to not tell Common that I've been a fan since [...]
The other day my son called me into his room to show me a sign that he had just made. Here it is exactly as written: This hideout is private. That means you daddy. Signed Devin? Good grammar. Perfect spelling. How can you be mad at that? He is mean though. ? ?
"That's a great idea!" Those are the words that spilled from my?loving son's mouth when I?said?"no more kisses for you" as?I was leaving the house this?morning.?The only reason I even said that to him is because for the last several weeks he's been running from me when I try to give him a kiss good-bye [...]
I was reading an article in this month's Details - apparently just by reading?said mag?I am?metrosexual - about being thatguy. You know the guy that does things that are a little odd, or out of character, or in some cases that are stereotypical, or a caricature of a real guy. For example, the guy who [...]
For the last few weeks Dev has been toying with what he calls a French accent. It's actually very funny coming from a five year old. When in accent mode he refers to this blog as "Afreeekin Amereeekin Dad," and he rolls the r's. He says things like "Vhat vas that?" and "Vhat eees theees?" [...]
This is difficult for me to say. You know I try to keep it real with the readers so I feel compelled to share this piece of personal information: My son can sing Usher's Love in This Club Part II and (this is a darn shame) Plies' Bust it Baby Part II featuring Ne-yo from [...]
My wife told the Dev today what school he'll be going to in the fall. I wanted to be around for that conversation, but I was glad she initiated it. Luckily I'm the only person who knows how to get on the new computer, so I was able to show Dev the website for his [...]
