Five things that scare me as a daddy

1. Hearing one of my kids scream suddenly in the other room
2. Not seeing one of my kids in a crowded area
3. Watching them fall and being too far away to catch them
4. Watching them run towards the street or through a parking lot and not being able to stop them
And maybe most of all…
5. Trying to trim their toe nails or finger nails

Relaxation

Maybe it’s the overall sleep deprivation or the fact that she can sense when I’m tense… Whatever it is, there are very few things in this world that are as relaxing as holding my baby girls while she sleeps.

Happy birthday…

Cure for the common bedtime tummy ache

I probably won’t get this published in the next medical journal – but I have found a cure for the common bedtime tummy ache many toddlers get.

Step 1 – roll onto your side
Step 2 – curl your legs up as close to your belly as possible
Step 3 – squeeze your blanket
Step 4 – close your eyes and stay as still as possible

So far my medical tests show that the tummy ache goes away within five minutes or less 98% of the time.

The other 2% you better hope you have a bucket or towel nearby.
