The Incident
Posted on November 28, 2011 by goo goo dadda
It’s been awhile since I posted here. More on that in another post entitled ‘Summer Happened’. It’s been a nice hiatus but now it’s good to be back writing… It happened on a Monday. During P.E. The “Incident”. Up to now, in her brief 6 years on this planet, Maddie has cruised through life incident-free. [...]

Moving On Up
Posted on June 15, 2011 by goo goo dadda
Maddie is graduating Kindergarten today! Yay! Or, should I say, she will be ‘advancing’ to the next grade level. She will be ascending the great academic ladder, trading in her letter K for a number 1, and moving from a half day to a full day. It is a proud and happy moment for us all, [...]

Irony
Posted on May 18, 2010 by goo goo dadda
Maddie: Come on, dad, let’s play! Me: Not now, Maddie, I’m working on my blog. [rim shot] Normally I’m a huge fan of irony*. But not in this case. I pride myself on being an engaged parent. But, to be honest, it’s been tough lately. Mainly because we have a 5-month old baby, Juliet, in [...]

Get Your Head In The Game!
Posted on April 11, 2010 by goo goo dadda
Another dad shouted these words out at Maddie’s soccer class last weekend. “Come on, you need to get your head in the game!” I looked over at who he was yelling at, his daughter, who was coming off the field in tears. She was probably 4, the same age as Maddie. ‘Really?’ I thought. ‘You [...]

Through The Looking Glass: Part III
Posted on November 10, 2009 by goo goo dadda
I would jump in front of a speeding car to save my daughter’s life. I say this with no hesitation and with a really powerful conviction which surprises, and, frankly, scares the hell out of me. Where does this feeling come from? I experienced it from day one with Maddie, when I hardly knew her. [...]

Through The Looking Glass: Part II
Posted on August 28, 2009 by goo goo dadda
So I’ve stepped through the portal. I’ve been a parent now for 3 1/2 years, and I’m still alive to tell the tale. It really doesn’t seem like that long ago. But then I blinked. And now, here we are, about to have another baby girl (Juliet: due 12/1). When I became a parent, I [...]

For Juliet
Posted on August 13, 2009 by goo goo dadda
We are going to have another baby girl, Juliet. She is due December 1st, 2009. This is for her: A gentle quiet descends upon the house the still air stirs softly and all the remote sounds of the city seem magically compressed and muted as if this was the center of the universe. I am [...]
