The Candlelight Processional at Epcot is really worth seeing. It’s an outdoor concert featuring an orchestra, the Disney singers, and a massed choir. There’s a narrator at the center of the whole thing telling the Christmas story. The narration is delivered a couple lines at a time, separated by Christmas music. The only odd thing […]
Read MoreAs a dad, it’s hard not to make the occasional mistake now and again. Some are bigger than others. Some are even bigger than those. The sad thing is that we’re not the ones who pay for them. Click here to read the Seminole Chronicle article and understand what I’m talking about. Keywords for Searchers: […]
Read MoreN tends to be grumpy when he wakes up. He often doesn’t want to be lifted out of his crib, and then once I do manage to wrestle him out all he wants to do is cuddle. In the past, I’ve had reasonably good luck with getting down to the crib level and laughing – […]
Read MoreIt’s funny how there are certain lines that we, as parents, simply won’t cross. For example, once I’ve given one of the kids a piece of candy, I don’t take it back. There’s something about that – taking candy from a baby – that just seems wrong. Not too long ago, J was having a […]
Read MoreFor me, facial hair is sort of a hobby. It takes me about a month to grow a beard, two months if I’m going for the viking look. I don’t really have a preference one way or another, but I tend to stay clean shaven more often than not. However, I did grow one for […]
Read MoreOver New Year’s we had some friends over. They’re a couple that we’ve known for a long time, and we typically exchange “couple” gifts. This year, we made a mistake. They arrived at the house, we welcomed them in, and then handed each other our presents. C was very excited. He watched patiently as we […]
Read MoreC goes to pre-school three days a week. He’s the youngest in his class, but not the most well-behaved. In fact, just the other day J went in to visit with the principal. She had some stuff to drop off, but they were also going to talk about C’s latest transgression and why he was […]
Read MoreThis is a DaddyTales first: a story about something that happened when I was not around. I thought it made a good tale, though. Let me know if you agree! C started his new preschool this past Monday. As with all parents, we were concerned about how well he would do, how nervous he would […]
Read MoreC loves boats almost as much as he loves trains. He loves waving and shouting "Hi" when they arrive, and he loves waving and shouting "bye" when they leave. Last week, I took the boys to Epcot while J was working. We had a great time, and towards the end of the trip we took […]
Read MoreBefore starting this one, it’s important to realize that C loves trains – all sorts of trains. For example, going to Disneyworld is simply a way of seeing different types of trains: the parking lot train (tram), the monorail trains, the indoor trains (the rides), the train around the park, and, of course, the "roller […]
