Children is the broader term for infants, toddlers and tweens. These posts are about children of all ages.

What The New Kids on the Block can teach you about aging

Aging is fabulous.  There is nothing special about 365 days other than the fact that that it’s the number of days in one year.  Every 365 days people, presuming they’re still with us, have a birthday.  If 730 days made up a year then we’d all live half as long and if 182 days made up a year we’d all live twice as long.

Our favorite iPad app for toddlers this month

This month’s favorite iPad app for toddler is great because your child will love it and it’s free!  Factor in that the app is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally appisode and it’s a slam dunk.  Literally, if you have a toddler and an iPad you should stop reading this now and go download it, we’ll wait here. Continue reading Our favorite iPad app for toddlers this month

What do you tell your child to call their private parts?

We’re in the process of motivating Toddler Mojo to use the potty.  He’s just over two and a half, the potty has been purchased and now we’re waiting for it all to ‘click’.  Apparently it just ‘clicks’, that’s what every parent we’ve asked has said happens. Continue reading What do you tell your child to call their private parts?

Batman is not gay and superheroes can be deaf

My wife can testify to the fact that I’m a fanboy.  I subscribe to a couple comic books and can recite more than a couple lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.   There were a couple items this past week that fanboys, marketers, PR people, GLAAD and the National Association of the Deaf can celebrate. Continue reading Batman is not gay and superheroes can be deaf

4 books every toddler should have in their library

Toddler Mojo has loved to read ever since we can remember.  The books that he’s liked have changed over the past two and a half years.  Brown Bear was big for a while, followed by Polar Bear and Ten Apples on Top, which he still likes. If you’ll have a child who’s just over two and half soon, or need a gift for one, here are some books that ours really loves now. Continue reading 4 books every toddler should have in their library

A dog, toddler and dirty diapers meet in a bar

I’m on the sofa at 6:20 p.m.   My body has a pounding ache; head is pulsing and there is an immediate need for something relaxing.  SyFy is On Demand, so I find Fact or Faked and watch the gentle sexually tension between Jael, Lanisha and the rest of the cast as they debunk viral videos.  The day didn’t start with signs of a complete meltdown by most of the living creatures in the house. Continue reading A dog, toddler and dirty diapers meet in a bar

Memories for my children and ones that I can’t remember

To be clear, by ‘ones that I can’t remember’ I mean memories, and not children that I’ve forgotten.    My wife used to make fun of me because I don’t remember anything about my childhood.  She is like an elephant in the fact that she remembers tiny details about her life when she was a kid.  The places they’d visit, favorite meals, conversations, holiday traditions-you name it she can probably recall it. Continue reading Memories for my children and ones that I can’t remember
