Share/Save Naked kids are pretty damn cute in my book. There’s a point where it gets awkward, but Dash hasn’t hit it in my book. Hell, I went through a phase of it college and managed to survive without getting arrested, but those are other stories for another time, perhaps in the park. However, nudity [...]
Share/Save It’s common knowledge among parents the Terrible Twos are indeed terrible and seldom end when they turn three. Or in the case of Dash: three and a half. In fact something seemed to click this week where the “no, no, no” of the twos was mixed in with the increased coordination and volume of [...]
Share/Save Something weird started happening a couple of weeks ago. Dash decided that he was growing up way too fast. First it started to with him saying things like, “Papa, I don’t want to get old,” or “Papa, I don’t want to be big.” I’m not sure what brought this on, but I think it [...]
Share/Save Business trips and getaways mean that from time to time one parent is home with the family. As it turns out, Dash and I have spent some time together without mom in the nearly three years that he’s been with us. Besides a day or two here and there, there’s been three week-plus stretches [...]
Share/Save One of the true joys of having a kid is watching them develop physically. I’ve talked quite a bit about Dash’s behavioral development, but of late the thing that has caught my attention is how fast of a runner he’s become. Both in a good way and a bad way. The good part is [...]
Share/Save Most parents think that their kids are hilarious. I know I do and I always have. But Dash isn’t much of a performer or joiner outside the house. At home he’ll kick up a racket, racing around and looking for us to watch how much fun he is having. When we go out, he [...]
Share/Save Dash has been saying the “N” word for nearly as long as he’s been speaking. He uses it a lot and I’m relatively fine with that. I mean, I’d been well prepped with the fact that little kids (and big ones too) say the word a lot. I guess it is their way of [...]
Share/Save If you walk into our house right now, some things become immediately clear. First off, Ella the dog is obnoxious, jumping up to say hi and barking. Secondly, the dishes probably need to be done. And thirdly, a kid lives here. Not only a three year old, but one who has gone completely over [...]
Share/Save Kids are creatures of habit. It starts from the moment you meet them and probably will continue up until the parent checks out. There are course corrections along the line where things change because they have to change, but on the whole the family has a lot of moving parts and its best when [...]
Share/Save Well it’s official: Jersey City Dad has made it one year. I didn’t run out of things to say; I didn’t lose interest or became otherwise distracted; I didn’t make such an ass out of myself that everybody stopped reading. I kept my nose to the grindstone, pumping out tidbits about my child and [...]
