When I was a wee lad, every single man in my life - uncles, older cousins, my grandfather, all of ‘em - would fart. Loudly. But none of them would ever admit they passed the gas.
Oh, no.
They never did it. It was always that “frog” that just ran under the chair. As a kid, I […]

L.A. Toddler has always had a problem with pronouncing her B’s and V’s. She gets them mixed up. They’re almost interchangeable to her. A while ago, I had a post about how she was so excited that we were “going to bacation!” Bacation was really our vacation.
It’s all part of growing up, I suppose. Learning […]

I’ll admit it. We go to Dairy Queen. Occasionally. Yes, we’re ashamed of the fact that we’re not eating healthy barley oats and organic flake-chunks every minute of every day.
We’ve discovered that there is one very close to our townhouse (and even closer to our new house) and we’ve gone a few times. Sometimes, you […]

After L.A. Toddler ate most of her Valentine’s Day dinner last night, we let her indulge in some of the treats she brought home from school.
Being a toddler, she is very adept at working the system and managed to get approval for more candy from me, her mother, her baby sister, and the cat… I […]

You know, if you’re going to lie… lie well.
We were eating breakfast this morning and L.A. Toddler has always had a problem using her napkin correctly. And by correctly, I mean that she must believe that the napkin should be the cleanest thing left on the table at the end of a meal.
She was eating […]

It’s great to mark those important milestones. Baby’s first steps. Her First words. First day of school and all that.
We had one of those firsts this past weekend.
L.A. Toddler managed to give herself her own personal Dutch Oven. Smells in children start out very basic and a lot of smells (both good and bad) are […]

You know the classic kid song, The Farmer in the Dell?
The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho,The derry-o
The farmer in the dell
The farmer takes a wife
The farmer takes a wife
Hi-ho,The derry-o
The farmer takes a wife
My lovely, charming and oh-so-sweet daughter has her own take on the lyrics. When L.A. Toddler sings […]

L.A. Toddler and I had lunch together. I like to talk with her about L.A. Fetus every once in a while… just to remind her that a little brother or sister is coming soon.
“We have to come up with a name for your brother or sister.”
“Yeah.”
“What would be a good name for a girl?”
“We don’t […]

Hey, it’s my 200th post! It’s been a lot of fun writing about all this wacky stuff over these last past 9 months.
This morning, L.A. Toddler was in a pretty good mood. Which is rare. Like us, she is in no way a Morning Person. Morning People bother me. For all of you Morning People […]

I’ve been battling a cold this week so I haven’t been able to write as much. Feeling better today. Finally.
I was reading another blog recently and the daddy blogger was saying he wrote to help him remember the little things. I like to put down these little “Kids Say…” posts because it’s stuff that I […]
