I took the liberty of cropping out everyone around me so you cannot tell if my son won the crawling competition…or completely turned around before it ever really started.
Shit is going down this Saturday. Our main motivation for going this year is to see if El can dominate the Swee’Pea baby crawling contest…and so I can eat a turkey leg.
It is a special day. After about seven seconds of instruction, my daughter now knows how to get me a beer. A lot of dad’s might complain about being left home all day with two kids on the first Saturday of college football. Lemons, meet Lemonade.
I would call this a pacifier fail, but technically he was pacified.
This is why I go to soccer games by myself.
“Your daughter just told me her pagina smells like french fries”
Here is a nice book for you to read your child if they do not want to sleep
I was looking forward to reading this book. Super excited I did not have to purchase it.
On a related note, with wife basically on constant baby duty, I get tasked with reading bed time stories for Lo. Back when it was 90 degrees outside and 85 in our house before I turned the air on, she decided not to go to sleep. Stories, cup of water, bathroom visit…nothing would quell her desire to annoy the crap out of me. Eventually, she brushed my leg and complained about me being sweaty. I told her not to touch me then, to which she asked why I was so grumpy. ”Because you’re holding me hostage in your room and I’m breaking down from the heat.” And somehow she acknowledged this as valid and let me leave.

Parenting Success Stories
While watching the latest episode of River Monsters with my 3-year old, she began singing her own rendition of MGMT’s Electric Feel. Mission accomplished.
Loren’s Toilet Diaries
My wife and I have been passively trying to get our daughter potty trained for months. The original goal was to get it taken care of before our son arrived…who is now nearly three months old. She was good at first, then stopped. Then we got serious about making her try, then we started having to clean crap and stopped. There have been promises of movies, pet goldfish, jelly beans….pretty much anything not to experience that act of sliding a loaded pair of underwear off a three year old who WILL NOT STOP MOVING.
Over the weekend, we appeared to hit a breakthrough. I could tell she was ready to burst and was trying everything in my power to get her into the bathroom. Finally, I uttered the sentence, “If you go take a poo on the potty, I’ll take a picture of it.” So yeah, I now have an iPhoto event titled “Loren’s Toilet Diary” filled with her greatest (s)hits. I think it could be the next great Tumblr site.
But seriously, kid has pooped on the pot all weekend. She actually woke up from nap, went to the bathroom, and deuced all on her own yesterday. When I walked in to assess the situation, she called it her “biggest eel ever.”
Last night, I added a brand new member to the family heirloom collection. From left to right:
Big toenail - October 2007
Umbilical cord - May 2008
Umbilical cord - February 2011
I really lobbied for the wife to bring back some foreskin from the circumcision so there weren’t any duplicates, but you take what you can get.
