Missing kiddos

I type from a hotel room in the Silicon Valley, knowing that back home my wife is tucking Pierce in while he negotiates which "bah" (ball) he's going to sleep. Evelyn is surely half heartedly brushing her teeth while simultaneously watching herself in the mirror do a "booty shake".

Good night kids, Daddy loves you. You too Nics ;)

To park or not to park.

Is there such thing as a Drive-Thru Costco? There should be.

Some toys are cool, once

Sometimes, I think toy designers are purposefully making parents' lives miserable. I mean, in today's world of powerful microprocessors and gobs of flash memory, can't a little truck with four buttons play, say, 50 different possible songs? 10 maybe? Apparently not. More like one. Over and over and over.

Could the designer think maybe, possibly, perhaps a single tune would become slightly annoying after oh, I don't know, the eighteenth time of hearing it? Apparently not.

Take their website for a spin (make sure your volume is up) and you'll see the stupidity has permeated everything they do...

Birthday planning

My boy is two years old today! In two years he has learned to walk, talk, eat solids, dance, hit, spit and generally raise hell. I've learned that being a father takes a lot of patience and caring...with the occassional time out. :)

Happy Birthday, Pierce.

What is Daddly

This is a blog about being a Dad.

I have two kids - a boy and a girl. Pierce (2) and Evelyn (4). They are my joy and inspiration. Becoming a Dad is the greatest and most enriching thing to happen to me.

That said, my boy is poopy head. My daughter whines a lot. Successful teethbrushing is a battle royale...rumble in the jungle...

This blog will be a way for me to share, vent, and explore the world that is fatherhood...and to learn how to get my boy to quick throwing food.

Any ideas?
