Daddy Mojo’s books for the Toddler: Story Time for Lamb

We stumbled across Story Time for Lamb by Michael Dahl at our local library. It’s a cardboard book with bright colors and a big eyed sheep on the front cover reading a book. After a quick glance on the back cover we learned that the book promotes early concepts, animal recognition, speaking skills and….wait where’s Toddler Mojo? Continue reading Daddy Mojo’s books for the Toddler: Story Time for Lamb

Rookie Dads is June 16, 6:30-8PM at Baby on the Go, Roswell

It seems like only yesterday I was a freewheeling childless guy who didn’t have a clue about what to expect in regards to raising children. The learning curve from expectant father to Dad is huge and there are loads of questions that you don’t know you need to ask.

The old saying, you don’t know what you don’t know applies very well to expectant fathers. You’re looking forward to it, but there is so much to learn and the only way to gain that knowledge is through experience. It’s the yin and yang of parenting.

June iPad apps that will entertain toddlers

The iPad isn’t the patron saint of parenting and should not be used instead of good parenting; but it can certainly help entertain and educate children. Toddler Mojo is 20 months old now and adores his iPad time. He learns from it and has fun at the same time. Granted some of the iPad apps have more fun involved than learning; but there have to be some enhancements of his fine motor skills going on there too. Here’s a quick rundown of what Toddler Mojo is digging on the iPad this month. Continue reading June iPad apps that will entertain toddlers

Week 20-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of a cantaloupe!

Dads, this is the halfway point of the pregnancy. However, up until now it’s been a slow build up and the really radical changes are just around the corner. Hint to dads: as the wardrobe of your bride is changing into maternity wear, surprise them with a gift certificate to a shoe store. At this point they may grouse about their clothing, however, shoes will remain the same size, so this gift is great for pregnancy and post pregnancy. Continue reading Week 20-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of a cantaloupe!

Dad spends a day in the mancave: The Mechanic & Ong Bak 3

A day in the mancave is a curse and a blessing. On the positive side it can mean that dad has earned a truly lazy day to sit on the sofa, eat bacon and watch utter garbage without any guilt from camp estrogen. On the negative side it can mean that dad is sick and has to lie on the sofa while watching utter garbage and relying on help from camp estrogen. Continue reading Dad spends a day in the mancave: The Mechanic & Ong Bak 3

What bathroom does a genderless child use?

Mommy Mojo and I will find out the gender of our second child this week. I don’t really need to find out their gender, I’m good with surprises, even really big surprises like knowing if we’re having a boy or a girl. My wife like her surprises on a smaller scale, like not knowing what’s for dinner until she gets home. Continue reading What bathroom does a genderless child use?
