I am  trying to teach my son how to make new friends. Being 2 years old, and not knowing what to say to someone you just met, can be a difficult and scary experience. I am 40 years old and I’m still not sure how to make friends with people I just met… And, now I am trying to teach …

I love my son and I love showing him that love whenever I can–be it a hug, cuddling, and of course kisses. I belong to a group of few Dad Bloggers; and, I find that, like me, there are fellow dads who show love to their children in public and they are looked at funny by the other parents, or …

I should start off by saying I am a huge comic-book, cartoon-watching nerd–from way back. I am always up for watching whatever summer superhero movie is out.

It’s a tough sacrifice, but it has too be done! Chocolate chip (or M&M) cookies are always a great (and fun) activity that we love …

It is starting to get warm, and it is really getting warm here in this house, as the A/C is out. If dealing with a little guy is tough, dealing with a youngster who is hot is even more of a good time. Cold baths and Otter pops can only cool you for so long, and it doesn’t really work well …

My son was right, and I was wrong. The teacher becomes the student, and the student–the teacher. Well, I was reading an article the other day, and I have learned I have been wrong all of these years (and not just me but my parents, their parents, their parents’ parents, and just about every parent for a few hundred years …
