Doodlebops Live! And Some VERY Interesting Facts About Me 2008-03-05 08:00:00 We took my daughter to see the Doodlebops LIVE concert over the weekend. I swear, I thought she was going to rip her Pull-up off and throw it onto the stage.Her little best friend, and her parents, joined us and between the two of them they screamed like fanatical Elvis fans for about 45 minutes straight. I have to say, it was pretty funny watching them trying to dance and sing along. My daughter kept telling the wife and I “Look! It’s the Doodlebops!…..over there!” followed by “Dance Daddy… Dance!!”Those creepy Doodlebop kids really know how to put on a show. Moe was breakdancing for about 30 minutes straight and because of it started losing his voice. Deedee pretty much did 99% of the singing, and I’m not sure what Rooney’s talent is yet other than being freakin’ tall
Potty Training Success! And Speaking of Poop, “The Oscars” 2008-02-25 02:01:00 Guess what? I have a nearly potty-trained 2 and a half-year-old. That’s right, and it only took a little over a year - well, if you count my first attempt at 18-months.Yes, I know there are some that can potty train a 3-month old; it’s not like I haven’t gotten the emails, comments, etc. with statements like “it’s easy! I did it and BILLIONS have too, just buy my book...” I’m sure they have and God bless them for it. But as I soon found out, kids come in all kinds of varieties and you just have to adjust the training based on their personality.For instance, some toddlers don’t want Elmo to cry every time they go poop in their pants; in my daughter’s case, she wanted to see Elmo cry. Which makes me wonder a little….Anyhow, what worked was just having her run around the h Read more:Training

A Message to Toddlers: Nose Picking Is Very Unpatriotic! 2008-02-20 02:15:00 Can somebody please tell me why toddlers are so obsessed with picking their nose? Because I’ve been trying to figure it out since my daughter mysteriously figured out she can shove her fingers up there at the most undesirable times, like when I’m eating pea soup or guacamole.And trust me, this is not good dining entertainment.So far, I’ve come up with a few theories that might have caused this behavior:She’s watched seniors do it. Which only proves my theory that seniors are bad influences on children!Elmo probably sang about it. That’s what I get for trusting a puppet that speaks about himself in the third person.Rap music. I’m pretty sure they glorify nosepickin’ along with pimpin’. Now I’m not on a mission to stop this behavior. The wife has her own methods to stop the Read more:Message

Mommy & Daddy Date Night Can Be Wicked 2008-02-12 02:00:00 For some odd reason I’ve had that Spiderman theme song stuck in my head since Saturday. It’s REALLY starting to bother me.(Spiderman, Spiderman…does whatever a spider can…)I’m curious, so how many of you parents do “date nights”? You know, a real one where you get a sitter and run out the door for a few hours and go somewhere childfree that doesn't rhyme with Chuck E. Cheese.In the 2 and half years since our daughter was born, the wife and I haven’t done a real "date night." I’m pretty sure Dr. Phil would call this behavior extremely unhealthy and then camp out in front of my house yelling through a bullhorn. But who cares, the guy is a quack. But now the wife and I are beginning to think this is a good idea to try at least once a month.On Friday we went to see Wicked

Super Tuesday, Super Bowl, Super Absorbent 2008-02-06 14:00:00 Even though I vote, I don’t like politics. I see it as a necessary evil, kind of like Tom Cruise – he’s annoying but most of his movies are entertaining.The speeches, listening to NPR, watching the ‘live’ news coverage last night just keeps reiterating that it’s all just a big obnoxious show.One of these days I want to start my own country. Maybe an island somewhere in the South Pacific where I can just name myself King (wearing Ray-Bans, big gold chains, velour tracksuit, white sneakers) and I could cut a deal with KFC to provide my people with Spicy Chicken and free health care. And the big export would be $8 bottled water with some cool name like “Sexy POW-AH Energy Water” that prevents hair loss, promotes weight loss, cures erectile dysfunction, and is loaded with anti- Read more:Super

My Daughter’s Imaginary Friend: An Unauthorized Biography 2008-01-24 02:00:00 Somebody came home with my daughter the other day after a play date…Meet Captain HippoAnd now she's been talking about him all week. So much that I've decided to write his biography. Unauthorized of course, because from what I'm told he doesn't want to talk to me.Captain Hippo: An Unauthorized Biography
Captain Hippo was born to wolves and ninja’s in the jungles of Pottery Barn Kids and then later reared by Nuns with special superhuman powers, such as cooking and pooping on the potty.He was later discovered by Mickey Mouse and Anthony from the Wiggles and invited to take dance lessons, on my birthday, at Disneyland. That’s where he met Snow White. The comedy group became really good friends and toured the world together on the Doodlebop’s bus to dance with ballerinas. These balleri Read more:Daughter

Hello My Name Is Tony... I Have A Poop Obsessed Child. AND The Monster Is In The Mail 2008-01-17 01:00:00 I’m still not sure what caused this fascination. Was it telling my daughter that Santa only brings gifts to toilet users? Maybe it was the time I told her that Elmo cries every time she poops in her pants? Or maybe, just maybe, it began when I told her a pooped filled diaper was like KFC to monsters and it made them visit our house like a drive-thru with junk-mail coupons?Yes, I think that’s what did it and now everything is poop to her these days.In the car: Look!! Car making POO-PEE!Eating ice cream: HA! HA! Dad-DEE….Poo-Pee! POOOO-PEEE!While in the bathroom: (Knock! Knock!)

Christmas Is So Much Better With Kids. And Princesses Can Ice Skate? 2007-12-25 21:30:00 I do think Christmas
is much better when a kid is around; at least it is for me. And even better now that my daughter, now nearing 2 and a half is really beginning to understand the concept of Santa.She made cookies with the wife - chocolate chip as requested by Santa and colored him a picture. In return I… I mean ‘Santa’ left her a big sketch of Santa eating the cookies and feeding some to the reindeer with a big note that said “Thank you! Make more chocolate chips cookies next year and maybe I’ll leave a bigger gift!”It also included a small “P.S” on the bottom that said, “Poop on the Potty and you can have Rudolf.”Gifts! Gifts!

Back from Disney World…I Need a Vacation! 2007-12-20 00:00:00 When I finally rested my head on my own pillow at 2 am last night, I reflected on the last 7 days:Things I didn’t enjoy:-Spending about $50 on popcorn because my daughter became addicted to the stuff like it was crack.-Dodging and getting hit by “extremely overweight people” on those little rascal motor scooters!-Florida weather turning on us: 55 daytime high, 39 nighttime low in the middle of our vacation!! (what gives?!) A few things I’m going to remember forever:-My daughter asking for popcorn at every popcorn cart -“I want popcorn” in a low-voice, over and over again. I counted 48 one time.-Eating lunch in “the castle” with the Princesses at Cinderella’s Royal Table. My daughter loved this.-Flying 800,000 miles to DisneyWorld

What To Do When A Child Stops Believing In Santa?! And Kids Birthday Parties Marathon 2007-12-09 22:30:00 Yes I know I haven’t posted in awhile but between getting ready for Christmas, prepping for our Disney World vacation in two days, and the 5 birthday parties (3 in one day!) we’ve been to in the last week alone -- their isn’t much time for anything else.The most interesting birthday party of the bunch was a Scooby Doo themed one in "the hills" with a Scooby and Shaggy impersonator.During their whole comedy routine about 99% of the parents (entertainment-types) were standing in a nearby tennis court networking while this one mom and I were sitting near our scared kids. They were pretty frightened of the Scooby Doo -- I think maybe because his costume looked like it had a rough night in Tijuana, or maybe because he was holding his tail like a baton and would start hitting kids on the h Read more:Stops

What? Santa Claus Makes Toddlers Behave And Use The Toilet… 2007-11-30 14:00:00 Now that my daughter is nearing 2 1/2, Christmas in her eyes is proving to be very entertaining. The lights, the decorations, the songs, SantaClaus
...At first she was pretty freaked out about the idea of a big guy breaking into the house through the chimney, but now she’s fine with it because he brings presents. When wife sings, “Santa Claus
Is Coming To Town” she quickly interrupts with “no mommy, he coming to my house…to bring me PRESENTS!!!” (hooray!)Upon seeing this supernatural influence, I saw a great opportunity to help with the potty training cause. I’ve told her Santa only brings presents on Christmas to big kids that use the potty…and guess what? Every time she sees any Santa, or any mention of him, she wants to use the potty. So far his magical powers seem to be Read more:Toddlers

Just Throw Away That Leftover Turkey Already! And How I Met The Wife 2007-11-26 00:00:00 I’m definitely not eating turkey for a while after eating leftovers for the last three days (I’m not sure, but is that even safe?)Thanksgiving was enjoyable and pretty relaxed this year (no Ohio Football!) We had two Thanksgiving dinners - one with good friends (their house for lunch) and one later with my Grandfather and his lady-friend (can’t say girlfriend since she’s not even close to being a girl.) She is a very nice lady though.We let her say a little Thanksgiving prayer since her son is a pastor up in Oregon (I’m not sure what religion it is, but while praying she spoke in a deep echoing voice…. in Latin, I think...)Both meals were superb and my daughter was thrilled at the idea of the holiday. She was especially excited to have helped my wife make grandma's famous cranb Read more:Throw

I’m Thankful I’m Not In Ohio 2007-11-21 14:30:00 Yes, it’s almost Thanksgiving and for me there’s a lot to be thankful for: my wife, daughter, family, friends, health, job, iPhone. But the thing I’m most thankful for is not having to spend Thankgiving with the in-laws, in Ohio
, this year because the wife has MBA finals coming up.Thank you Jesus! (Oprah, Ron L, Mel B, or whatever you believe in…)“What’s wrong with Ohio? That’s where Wendy’s was created!!” you might ask?Well friend, let me school you: I’m not a sports guy. Never have been, unless you count watching Baywatch or Golden Girls a sport. Unfortunately my in-laws don’t since my first introduction to them way back in ’98 when I was told to join “the men” in the TV room:Future In-Law #1: (quick glance at me, then eyes on TV) Who’s your team?Me: My ‘t Read more:Thankful
Potty Training Idea #87: Coloring Pages That Use "The Power Of The Mind." 2007-11-15 10:00:00 The way things have been going there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll have the first Jr. high kid EVER that hasn't been potty trained.Recently some friends gave me a dvd called “Potty Power” that did wonders for their 2.5 year-old. She watched it a few times and like magic was “instantly” using the toilet like a 67 year-old running into the house after a visit to Hometown Buffet.The video is actually quite good. The songs are so catchy that I often find myself singing them in boring meetings at work (“no more diapers for me…yeah, yeah…”)Unlike other potty videos, kids actually use the toilet in it - imagine that! All while singing, dancing around, yelling “Potty Power” with their arms in the air like Che Guevara revolutionaries.... it's all very exciting.So exciting Read more:Training

Colonel Sanders and Santa Claus Must Be Brothers.

Today I got a note from KFC (yes, “them”) complimenting me about my ColonelSanders
pumpkin and THEN sending “ME” KFC gift checks.It may be November, but it sure feels a lot like Christmas morning.(The remainder of this post will be in a southern accent to pay homage to Colonel Sanders, aka: the great originator of fried chicken in a bucket.)Those who’ve been readin’ this here blog for a while know I’ve been the biggest fan of this here “Kentucky Fried Chicken” (later renamed “KFC” for the hearin’, and maybe read Read more:Santa

Halloween Night Randomness! Pet Parents, Pimps, and Christmas, Oh My… 2007-11-01 10:30:00 What’s that you say? Christmas
is next month… How did that happen!?Halloween
turned out to be very fun this year. I ended up carving a Chewbacca pumpkin. My daughter was practicing her “Trick or Treat” line ALL DAY and was thrilled not only because she got to dress-up like Sleeping Booty (her name for Sleeping Beauty) but those magic words MADE the neighbors give candy.Now she thinks she can put on her costume any day and go ask them for candy.Watching the kid growing up sappy parent moment…There’s something to be said about once enjoying the ‘trick or treating’ ritual as a kid and now as a parent watching my own child doing it. Watching my daughter twirling in her costume, getting candy, wearing a huge glowing smile… it all just sent happy chills down my spine. And the b Read more:Night

Creative Pumpkin Carving Ideas and FREE Stencils That Will Impress The Neighbors 2007-10-25 02:30:00 Pumpkin carving is one of my favorite things to do for Halloween ever since I was old enough to use a knife.Last year my “pumpkin art” was an homage to a brilliant American entrepreneur, in a white suit, who brought the world the gift of fried chicken (with 11 herbs and spices) and dumped in a bucket (the common man’s way of eating food) to life once again.This pumpkin brought joy and happiness to all who came to my house begging for candy.I don’t know if I could ever top that again.I haven’t decided what I’m going to carve this year, but I thought I would post some original stencils I’ve created for ALL TO USE (and one I’ve found online) while trying to figure it out.The Pumpkin Stencil List (click and then download):Colonel Sanders (cause' he does Chicken and Halloween ri Read more:Pumpkin

Hello From L.A. Where Everything Is On Fire Except Chuck E Cheese’s 2007-10-21 23:45:00 Today had promise. We were meeting two other 1-child couples (just like us) at this really great pumpkin patch that’s been family owned for, like, over 300 years.This place has to be the ultimate pumpkin patch (Lombardi Ranch) this side of the Mississippi. They have tractor rides, pony rides, live music on 2 stages, ‘real’ farm animals, corn mazes, stagecoach rides, homemade organic-corn, and I think bands like “Huey Lewis and the News” kick off their world tour concerts from this place. Yes, it’s that big.We’ve been talking about it for days and my daughter was looking forward to it like a Doodlebop was moving into the den. She woke up this morning singing “Pumpkin Patch!

An Open Letter To A Parent That Buys A Hooker Halloween Costume For Their Daughter 2007-10-17 23:30:00 Cry-Out Loud’s Mike wrote about this over at Babble and I had something to add.To the parent that thinks it's "cute" to buy those slutty costumes for your girl,You have failed as a parent. What are you thinking? It is NOT cute to dress your little girl in fishnet stockings, platform boots, exposed midriffs, vinyl whatever or anything resembling a Bratz doll. What are you raising your daughter to be anyways? Pregnant at 14.It's beyond comprehension why you (a parent) would purchase this stuff. Maybe some of you do it because you want to live vicariously through your daughter? I find that utterly sick. And I wonder why any father would allow his daughter to dress like that?

5 Freeway Truck Tunnel Fire And The Loss Of A Child 2007-10-15 00:34:00 Ever since becoming a parent any mention of any child getting hurt, seriously ill, or (gasp) dying just terrifies me. I can’t help but to feel completely concerned and distressed. Personally, there is nothing worse.Saturday morning we were on our way to a baby shower and got caught on the 5 freeway (I-5) because of the truck tunnel fire. Completely stopped in traffic listening to AM news radio for any mention, checking the iPhone traffic map (which by the way has some major delayed info) and reading news while watching the wife and daughter getting uneasy and just falling asleep.I’ve been in some pretty bad traffic jams but this was the worse and menacing ever, not because we were stopped but largely because of the people in the cars around us.
