I remember watching my son sleep when he was a newborn. Those moments were precious and often happened only in the afternoon in the early days of my fatherhood. Those sleepless nights were full of frustration, exhaustion and time that seemed to slow to a crawl. In a way and for some odd reason I miss it a little.

Thanks for the rocky start. I hope this means you’ve got some seriously good stuff waiting for me later on in the year. Mr. Dude was so sick he missed his first two days of school (day-care) and it was so cold outside they closed down for what would have been his third and fourth days. SkyWaitress […]

Everything was happening in slow motion. All the sounds around us were muffled. The water coming out of the faucet. My son's body twitching and then going limp. His clenched jaw and me splashing that cold water on his body. I kept saying "I love you son, breath. Breath. Please breath!"

Let me introduce you to Oren Miller. This married 41 year old father of two has changed the way dad blogging happens at the keyboard and away from it. Oren founded the Facebook Dad Bloggers group a few years ago. It was key in creating a community of dad bloggers that had never existed previously. […]

Let’s get a few things straight. No doctor or nurse is going to get my child in an exam room and talk to them privately, until they are old enough to confidently take care of themselves. Seriously, my one year old has a pretty limited vocabulary confined to things like being hungry or wanting to […]
