ouch!

my pal Dan went through with having his body waxed on a radio station in order to get his daughter front row tickets to see Taylor Swift and a chance to meet the country star backstage. While this sounds like such a great sacrifice from a dad, Dan had gotten good seats and a backstage meet with Taylor Swift for his daughters a few months back. I think that gets to be the definition of spoiling a kid by having the hair ripped off your ass for the sake of them doing something again.

That's my wallet

The baby was using my wallet as a chew toy. She also kept pulling bills out of it. They scattered across the floor. She's going to need to be rich.

Gimme Three Steps

after Becky's birthday part wrapped up we were playing with Josie on the floor. She made it to three steps before hitting the carpet.

Soon we'll be having her running marathons around the hallway.

Home Schooling Pre-Preschool?

That was a weird question asked of me. Why wouldn't I want to teach the kid the alphabet, colors, numbers and how to program in Fortran? I figure I can also give the kid opening introductions to film theory and appreciation of speed metal of the '80s. Would be nice to send her off to kindergarten with the ability to tell the teacher that she really hasn't a clue about the deeper meanings of "Raging Bull."

they have pre-nursery school. why?

Gotta Dance

Somehow the baby gets really excited when she see people dancing on TV. She bounces around and gets up on her knees. I'm hoping she prefers modern dance to ballet since that means I'll still have to pack a lunch for her.

She's sorta talking

I had a long conversation with the baby today where I hadn't a clue what she said. Lot of little short single noises with a grunt accent. Strangely enough, we'll be repeating this chat in her teen years where I won't have a clue what she's saying. I need to practice my "understanding dad who just wants this to be summarized by mom" look.
