Daddy Mojo

A dad and mom play “did somebody step on a duck”?

As a stay at home dad I encounter lots of funny situations with my child. Toilet jokes are the low hanging fruit in the blog world. I made a pact with myself to avoid stories about the toilet, a moratorium if you will, for as long as possible. I’m sure that when Baby Mojo gets to the potty training phase of life we’ll have more stories, some of which may actually be funny.

Speaking in a very technical sense, it’s not a story of the toilet, more accurately it’s a case of “did somebody step on a duck”? Continue reading A dad and mom play “did somebody step on a duck”?

My marriage is not like an 8 track: New families and the stay at home dad

This past week a study came out on marriage from The Pew Research center. You may have heard the highlights, mainly the fact that MARRIAGE IS ON THE DECLINE. Well make me watch television infomercials, I thought my marriage was great and if the masses are getting out of this mom and dad racket then I’m not going to let the violin player beat me off this sinking ship.

A parenting tip for maintaining the baby’s library

Both mom and I have been reading to Baby Mojo since he could open his eyes. It started out with Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Ten Little Ladybugs and an assortment of other hardback books. We have many more non hardback books, but quickly discovered that he would either eat them or destroy the pages. Continue reading A parenting tip for maintaining the baby’s library

The Occidental Parent

Recently I had an unexpected visitor that stayed with me for a couple weeks. Unfortunately that visitor was my small intestine and he arrived in costume as a hernia. At least it happened in October so I could go to parties dressed as that guy from Alien who had his stomach explode. Continue reading The Occidental Parent

A Dad muses on the joy of a Onesy

Every experienced dad I’ve spoken with has said that after every ‘phase’ of parenting has been their favorite. As a dad I can attest to that because Baby Mojo is leaving the onesy phase and I have loved this phase.

As previously mentioned, aspects of his infant phase, especially at night were great because it had an accompanying Elvis soundtrack in my mind. Part of that vision quest was the timely nature of his diaper calls, combined with the onesys that he was wearing. Continue reading A Dad muses on the joy of a Onesy

Daddy Mojo reviews: Beaba Formula & Snack Container

Babies, especially when they hit the toddler age need to snack and snack often. Forget the food and face the perilous onslaught of a multiple octave attack from your previously happy toddler. At one point in time moms and dads had to have plastic, re-sealable containers that were cheap, disposable and let’s face it, not cool at all. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: Beaba Formula & Snack Container

What men, dads and fathers really think about

My wife is a talker. Daddy Mojo is a thinker. I listen a lot, talk a little-and even then it may be very fast or if I’ve been drinking, with a slight accent. It wasn’t until a couple months into our relationship that she told me that she often couldn’t understand what I was saying; either because I was talking fast or with an accent, not that I needed to drink to be around her.
