Belly Meal

My wife had to go to Texas a while back, leaving me flying solo with the kids for a few days. Though the three of us get along fine, things do sometimes get a little bizarre. One night, as I was making grilled cheese sandwiches in the kitchen, N ran out of his room without […]

Birthday Blues

Our three year old became a four year old yesterday. At the end of the festivities, as I was sitting in a chair pondering the cleanup, the little guy ran over to stand in front of me. “Daddy, am I four now?” “Yep!” I said. “You’re four!” He looked down at himself, then back up […]

Being Five

Last year, shortly after C turned five, the boys and I found ourselves at one of those mall playgrounds again. Despite my wife’s most heartfelt reassurances to the contrary, the three of us invariably end up waiting for there her whenever we go to a mall. C was still excited about turning five. He spotted […]

The Sound of Silence

Here’s a fun exchange I overheard the other day. C (our five year old) was pestering N (the soon-to-be-four year old), and had been pestering him all morning. After repeated warnings, their momma finally intervened and sent the five year old to time out. As she walked back from the time out spot, N called […]

Lessons Unlearned

About a year ago, I left my office job to work from home. It’s a bit more stressful than working for someone else, but much more rewarding. Now I split my time now between designing games and writing. The biggest challenge initially was getting the kids to leave me alone when I was in my “office”. […]

Need a Drink

Yesterday, I took our three-year-old (soon to be four) out to run some errands while his older brother went to a birthday party. We had a good time, especially once I stopped using the word “errands” and started using the word “missions”. Afterwards, I treated the little guy to an ice cream at Brusters – […]

Missing Motions

The downside to having two kids so close in age is that they like to pester each other. I can’t count how many times I’ve ended up shouting “You! Stop bothering your brother!  And You! Don’t get so upset! He’s just being a pest!” The other morning, I heard my wife over the monitor. The […]

Just a guy

Sunday School is over now, but before it ended, I received this bizarre report from N (our three year old), regarding what he had learned that day… I started the conversation over a lunch of hot dogs and macaroni and cheese. The little guy seemed depressed, and I was trying to figure out why. “How was […]
