Movies I Saw as a Kid (That I Shouldn't Have)
I've been thinking about all the inappropriate movies my parents brought me to when I was a kid, presumably because they couldn't get a sitter. Some are good, grown-up films -- just probably not what a kid in kindergarten wants to see. C'mon, tell the truth ... have you ever taken your kids to an inappropriate movie?
Preschool Musical
When I was a kid, I went to nursery school at 4, then kindergarten at 5, and the rest is pretty much a blur. I'd never heard the term "2's program" before -- until a few months ago, and even then I assumed it was some sort of diet involving Activia Yogurt.
Daddy Dozen: My Kid Needs a Costume!
I can't wait to take our son Luke out trick-or-treating. The question is: what should a 6-month-old boy dress up as for Halloween? Seriously, my wife can't decide on anything, but here are our Top 12 Infant Halloween Costume choices. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
The Uncle Question
When I was a kid, there were a handful of my parents' friends who were elevated to "Uncle" or "Aunt" status despite their lack of any shared bloodlines. But there should be some ground rules before dropping the "U"-bomb.The Daddy Switch
The story about that horrible jackass who slapped a kid in Walmart was oddly timed to something that, unfortunately, happened to me the same week.
2's Be, or Not 2's Be?
Of all the surreal things that have transpired during 16 months of fatherhood, the most surreal occurred earlier this week, when I made an appointment to tour... A PRESCHOOL.I'm Addicted to "Super Why"!
My wife had just finished putting our son to sleep, when she came out into the living room, and I was watching "Super Why" -- alone.
Oh Canada!
Recently I saw an ad on TV that suggested that an overhaul of the U.S. health care system (providing a public option) would make our system "more like Canada's," as if that were a tragic, horrifying thing. Wherever you stand on the health care reform debate, I'd like to share my experiences as someone who grew up in Canada, and hopefully shed some light on the topic.We Need Your Help
As Luke gets older, my wife and I are starting to notice that all the bad habits/poor choices we've made over the past 15 months are now starting to pay dividends.Open Letter to Mean Lady at Starbucks
Trust me, we don't love it when Luke makes a scene in public. But you know what? He's a baby. That's what they do. They don't know that you're 50 and friendless and mean and hate kids. They're just babies.
Great Balls of Fire
As some of you may know, my one-year-old son, Luke, recently had some surgery on his testicles. One of them, apparently, was undescended.
Only 2 More Shopping Days 'Til Father's Day!
If you're having trouble finding that perfect Father's Day gift, don't despair -- here's a list of 12!
Mommy (and Daddy) and Me
I've spent the past few weeks on "hiatus" from work -- which means that until our TV show goes back into production later this summer, I'm able to spend time catching up on things like . . . seeing the new Yankee Stadium, going to "Terminator Salvation" on opening day, and, if there's time left over, bonding with my 13-month-old son.
Scaring the Shot Out of Me!
Shortly after his first birthday, Luke has had a rough month. First, he had to endure a trip to my family's in Canada, which for reasons unknown, gave us all diarrhea. Then, he and I both got non-swine flu, back-to-back, which gave him some of the nastiest boogers I've ever seen, anywhere.
What the $%!& Did That Kid Just Say?
This past weekend, we took Luke to visit our family in Montreal. Other than the swine flu we got, we all had a pleasant time. Except for Saturday morning.
12 Things I Learned This Year
We made it! Luke turned one last week. I learned very quickly (from outraged parents) that scratch lottery tickets are not an appropriate item for a gift bag. This is just one of the many things I learned this year -- here are 12 others.
We Broke Our Baby!
Even though we're about as qualified to be parents as Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin, my wife and I have gone a year without any major baby-related accidents. Until this past Saturday when Luke fell off the bed face first.
