How many questions does a toddler ask in one day?

Why are stay at home parents so exhausted at the end of the day?   I read a sarcastic article that said that parents are tired because of all the questions they answer during a given day.  I put forth  the question of how many questions does a toddler  ask by marking down each time our 3.5 year old asked me a question.  Just for the sake of making it fun I also wrote down the questions, hilarity ensues.   Continue reading How many questions does a toddler ask in one day?

4 disgusting things I do because I’m a Dad

Stay at home dads are just like stay at home moms for the most part.   Granted our child running  into my groin* would hurt much worse than him doing the same thing to his mom, but parenting wise, we’re all on the same field.  A nice post last week highlighted 5 disgusting things that moms do.  Any parent can identify with them, but I wanted to add perspective from this side of the chromosome.  Continue reading 4 disgusting things I do because I’m a Dad

Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover

I’ve always wanted a pipe wrench.   The name sounds tough, combining two rugged words that make one super jagged word that actually serves a purpose and is made of steel?  That is bordering on testosterone overload.   I have a pair of Channel Lock pliers.  They do roughly the same thing as a pipe wrench.  But if a pipe wrench is Chuck Norris, a pair of Channel Lock pliers is John Stamos.

I’m getting old: The evolution of tool to a Dad

Preschool Gems is a great toilet book and that’s a good thing

The books that have occupied my bathroom reading have changed through the years.  The constant for the past number of years has been The Far Side.  During my 20’s The Duct Tape book was there; along with some men’s fashion magazine that I never followed the clothing or grooming advice to.  My bathroom reading is still evolving now that I’m married and have children who are old enough to form somewhat coherent sentences. Continue reading Preschool Gems is a great toilet book and that’s a good thing

Music to motivate parents while potty training a toddler

Potty training a toddler is a mind numbing experiment tainted with wet pants and a strong, pungent odor.  It’s one of the necessary evils of parenting, potty training must be done.  If you and your spouse are just starting the potty training talk, here is an alternate way to sell them on the benefits of potty training your child. Continue reading Music to motivate parents while potty training a toddler

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?
