Talking to Fruit

Dom loves to join me on my grocery store trips. Secretly, I love to have him along, although I do grumble about it to get extra help from Russell (But, honey – you have to do the dishes, scrub the toilet and wipe down the baseboards…I am going to have Dom all day!). Dom loves to people watch...

Happy New Year!

Ah…another year gone, and another to look forward to. As the ball drops tonight, I hope everyone takes a few moments to reflect on this past year – your sad moments and your happy ones. I pray that your joyful moments far outweigh any bad ones you experienced and that your worst times don’t...

A Few Observations about Christmas

1. In that classic Rudolph movie, the one in which Rudolph runs away to the Island of Misfit Toys, Santa comes across as a mean bully. I mean, he actually joined in with the other reindeer to reject Rudolph because of his red nose. I never noticed it as a kid, but it is kind of disturbing now. And it...

The Book Corner…December 27, 2008

Dom and I love to read together. Rather, I read while he flips the pages so quickly that I can’t keep up. Same difference. We check anywhere from 5 – 15 children’s books out of the library each week. We also have an extensive children’s collection on our own bookshelves. There...

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday dear me…Happy Birthday to me! Today, I turn 35. And, for me, this is the hardest birthday yet. “They” say that, at 35, my life begins to wind down. My eggs are old, they say…as though my biological clock wasn’t...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I am posting this on Christmas Eve, so I have no idea what Christmas Day will bring. For all I know, Dom will use his new Tinkertoys as weapons against the cats. That in itself may be a blog. But, tonight, the world is silent and still, just as it was on that night 2008 years...

Merry Christmas...er, weirdness

I don’t do a lot of decorating for Christmas. I never got around to hanging the lights in the windows, for instance, and I am not very concerned about it. The tree is up, even if it is midget-sized. Our favorite ornaments are on it…well, except for the breakable ones, which will wait a few...

Elmo is sick

For the past few hours, I have been hard at work writing. Well, actually, I have been surfing the internet and chatting with friends via various IM programs to avoid writing. But I am supposed to be working, so I will stick with that story. While I surfed…er, worked, Dom was quietly playing in...

Everything I ever need to know...

I learned in the mall play area. A list from Dom’s perspective. 1. If you lay on the floor at the bottom of the slide, people will step on you. In fact, many, many short little people will stomp on you while laughing gleefully. So, it is best to get up, dust yourself off, and then climb back up...

It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! Monday night, despite the warm weather and drizzly rain, we decided to go visit the Annual Gaithersburg Winter Lights Festival. This is the 13th year that the Festival has run at Seneca Creek State Park (11950 Clopper Road in Gaithersburg, MD). Lately, Dom...

When Daddies Screw Up

Okay, first, let me explain the title of this blog, lest Better Off Dad and his legion of Daddies swarm my apartment. It is not that Mommies don’t screw up…on the contrary, I screw up several times a day. It is just that, because Mommy is always screwing up, my screw-ups don’t hurt...

Blue Binky! I love you!

There are few certainties in life. But you will eventually die. You will have heartbreaks along the way that make you feel as though you want to die. And you will at some point break your child’s heart. Over the past week, we have broken Dom’s heart repeatedly. We are trying to ditch Binky...

No Diaper!

One day last week, I took off Dom’s overnight diaper and started to put a clean one on him. He said, “No diaper!” I told him that if he didn’t wear a diaper, he had to use his potty. He said okay. We shall see…maybe he’s really ready this time! Here is how our day...
