SNAPSHOTS
Pretty self-explanatory. These are pictures. Sometimes they’ve got words and sentences and all that jazz, but they’re mainly posts of visually-driven stuff.
Kid Definishons: “Poobles”
When you hear the word “poo” in association with your kid being in the bathtub, you just kind of tense up and slowly peer over the edge to scan for the surprise of a floating “tub toy” that wasn’t there before. Luckily, it was just an underwater bathtub fart, and the little mer-kid is only […]
#FatBellyFriday – 20 Weeks
Typically, moms-to-be put up photos of their pregnant bellies on their blogs. I can’t blame them. Pregnancy, from the outside, is an incredible thing to behold. Photography was practically invented to capture something as personal and beautiful as a woman with child. We’re going to try and post a weekly photo here so you can […]
The Pickiest Eaters in the History of Ever
Kids are like a test. One that you can’t really pass. You just sort of go through it chewing on your pencil, sweat beading on your forehead. You’re looking around at the other students (parents) and seeing if you can’t catch a glimpse at their answers. But then you see their foreheads glistening with the […]
Parenterms: “Pajdrama”
Parents know: you can lead a horse* to water**, but you can’t make them drink***. * kid ** bed *** sleep Trying to saddle up the stubborn little pony that is your child with pajamas is occasionally only a little bit less impossible than getting them to close their eyes and go to “for reals” […]
Finish Talia’s List
If you’re not familiar with Talia, she was an inspirational girl. Diagnosed with leukemia and neuroblastoma six years ago, the 13-year-old video-blogged her fight and posted makeup tutorials on her YouTube page. Five days before she passed away, she made a bucket list and it is quite spectacular. She basically gave me a Cliff’s Notes […]
Kid Definishons: “Undiewares”
It’s a pretty safe assumption that if you’re reading this, you’ve probably been wearing underwear for several years. Hopefully not the same pair. Whatever the condition of your undergarments, you must admit it’s been a long time since your parents first slipped a pair of undies on you instead of a diaper. You probably don’t […]
Parenterms: “Dadgerous”
Not everyone is handy just because they have hands, but when you become a dad you may find yourself suddenly possessed of the desire to build stuff. Even if you don’t have the desire, you’re still possessed in a way, like one would be with a demon. Possessed with some or all of the duties […]
Daddy Vader Says… Hide and Seek
Really though? With little kids, hide and seek is more like “hide and give up” or “hide and scream out where your cool hiding place is right away.” So, Daddy Vader being a menacing, inexorable seeker just doesn’t seem that Dark as far as sides of the Force go. As they get older though, watch […]
Daddy Vader Says… Because Why
Why? How? What? Whatever! All of these questions can be applied in an infinite loop by a kid in a conversation. Why can’t I have a pony? Because ponies cost a lot and require the right home. But why? Because ponies are not small animals and need a lot of food and space. But why? […]
Kid Definishons: “Inpublic”
What your kid gets from the words you use can sometimes be close, but not quite right. The sheer repeated context of a word can train them into a wrong association. My 4yo son now tells my wife and I that we’re being inpublic. He chuckles and admonishes us sagely, “Hah! Dat was inpubwic!” It’s […]
