Recent Fathers Blog PostsThe Gift of Self-Entertainmentby K_REY_CYesterday at 07:43 AMWhen I was younger I was sometimes bored. Somehow I imagine this happens to lots of kids but it certainly felt like it was only me who was afflicted at the time. Strangely, I credit many of my successes and talents to these periods of boredness. The Snowman Mugby K_REY_C02 Feb 2010 09:21 PMOur son has a fascination with food now. If he hears chewing or crunching or sipping or swallowing his eyes immediately find our mouths and he stares wide eyed at this new phenomenon. He has, of course, seen us eat before. He has become more aware of his surroundings now though. An Extra Dayby K_REY_C30 Jan 2010 05:50 PMDue to my son's illness and also come inclement weather my small family was able to basically have a three day workweek and let me tell you, it was wonderful. Inclusionby K_REY_C29 Jan 2010 08:25 PMYesterday my wife customarily drove up to the front of my office door after the close of her day to pick me up and drive me home. Normally our son would be sleeping (which is his customary response to being in a moving vehicle), but today was different. Simple Gamesby K_REY_C28 Jan 2010 05:50 PMOne of the things I find particularly magical about children is their ability to pretend and imagine the most amazing things with the least amazing materials. Their minds are unbelievably active and this contributes to both the joy they make and the joy they share. The Productive Morning & The Sick Boyby K_REY_C26 Jan 2010 06:03 PMI've recently been writing about the horror of seeing my son in pain. He's had a cold. This morning, however, my wife and I were awoken bright and early compliments of our son. He was sick. His temperature was above 100 degrees and he was miserable. My wife dutifully comforted and fed him. Teething Trouble (Maybe?)by K_REY_C26 Jan 2010 06:01 PMMy son has been fussy lately and my wife and I have been wondering why. The Beaming Waiterby K_REY_C22 Jan 2010 09:56 PMGoing out to eat is one of those very rare types of things for my wife and I. Ever since our son was born we hardly ever go out. Part of this is due to our monetary difficulties as our son has certainly forced our budget to adjust to things like diapers and daycare. The Daycare & The Coldby K_REY_C20 Jan 2010 10:04 PMLess than 1 week into Daycare and my son is already sick. I suppose this should be a common enough occurrence but it certainly doesn't make Mom & Dad feel any better about putting our child into daycare. Is the environment clean? As far as I know. Is the staff trained? Yes. Daycare Day 1: Eveningby K_REY_C14 Jan 2010 07:32 PMIt turns out that the day didn't go badly for my son at all. The accounts given to us by the employees and the administrator were extremely positive. They told us that he had the best first day of any of the babies at this relatively new facility.
