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 [...]

The Secret Society of Parents: Jiffy Lube
Posted on May 5, 2010 by goo goo dadda
Maddie and I were at Jiffy Lube the other day, where I was reminded that being a parent can have its perks. I had planned this trip for a few days, and I was determined to carry it out. Even if something unexpected were to happen, like, say, oh I don’t know, Maddie FALLING ASLEEP [...]

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 [...]

Reflections On Time: Part I
Posted on March 28, 2010 by goo goo dadda
I have never been more aware of TIME than I have as a parent. It has become more intimate to me, like an old friend. I have seen how it can change, moment to moment. I understand its’ need to march on. There I am, on the playground, helping Maddie, now 2, navigate the play [...]

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. [...]

For The Love Of LEGO
Posted on September 30, 2009 by goo goo dadda
I’ve always loved LEGO‘s. As a child I would play with them for hours, creating all manner of fantastic construction. When I became a dad to a little baby girl, I never would have imagined that, in a few years, we would be playing together with those same LEGO’S! (literally – I had my collection [...]

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 [...]
