Our children immediately identified with Whose Tools?, a new children’s book that teaches them 24 tools and the professions that use them. The book is surprisingly detailed, features six different contractors, like a mason, carpenter or plumber and has thick pages with simple words that are great for young children.

So, our youngest is 3 and knows that he should use the potty, but doesn’t most of the time. He’ll use it just prior to bath time, but won’t tell us during the day if he has to go. Vegetables in Underwear is a silly book about vegetables, in underwear and being ridiculously happy about it. A large piece of broccoli strips down to their red underwear and runs across the pages where they meet their other vegetables wearing underwear.

It’s new all age comics day again and it looks like folks are still reeling from Free Comic Book Day. Things are a little skinny, but there are still some great all age comics, that are brand new-in store this week. Of note this week to us is Regular Show #23. This comic is so bizarre at first, but then really funny. That was our reaction to the television show too, now we get both of them and they’re fabulous.
It’s also a great week for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who have three new releases and the new, revamped Walt Disney Comics on IDW. This week Donald Duck returns with all new adventures and Uncle Srooge #2 hits shelves also. These comics are thick, feature all new stories and have classic artwork.
The links will take you to Things From Another World and will save you 10% or more on comics. If you want to head out to your local comic book store and pick these up today then dig the link, find out where yours is located and get your kids reading some all age comic books.
Charlie’s not much of a talker. He rambles on endlessly, but the ratio of intelligible words to cute children mutterings is far tilted in the former. When he kept saying ‘bum hurts’ we paid it a little attention, but didn’t panic. On the upside, that is awesome that our child is speaking in British slang. However, if he says that he wants to wear his fanny pack then we’ll stop his lessons there. Sure enough, his bottom was red, it looked like a little diaper rash, but we’d definitely seen worse.
Before seeing it, skeptical I was about Star Wars Rebels. My oldest and I saw the first episode in the theater we did. Enjoyable beyond its years and classic in a new was it was. Yoda hasn’t made his appearance yet in the recently concluded first season of Star Wars Rebels, but now you can catch all of the episodes, for free-over at StarWars.com.

This is a sponsored post and we were compensated for it. All thoughts and stories, regardless of how messy are true and our own. It’s a cliché to say that dads don’t clean. In some cases the spouse is much cleaner than them and that is 100% the case in our family. My wife is clean. People don’t marry a guy to change them to the clean side. However, sometimes I do feel like I need to ask my wife trick questions just to confirm that she’s not part of a deep undercover project being done by P & G. SwifferDads launched recently and showcases three real dads, in their natural habitat.

As the kids and I were playing on the driveway I was thinking to myself how lucky I am. It’s a great life, the kids are healthy and nobody has had an accident in a really long time. Parenting tip: A parent should be careful about being thankful for the lapse in time between accidents.

We’re part of the StreamTeam with Netflix and were compensated for this post. All thought are our own. It’s almost the end of the school year and the kids are giddy with anticipation of spending more time at home. The summer’s television schedule sometimes starts out low and ramps up towards the end. This year we will maintain a more consistent routine and these shows will help us do that. I’ve also included a couple options to entertain the parents for when they need a moment to relax.
