I’ve realized something about myself. I hate changing state. That’s at the core of my being. I don’t like the act of changing my current condition. It almost doesn’t matter what my current condition is. I may not even like my current condition that much. I just don’t like going to a different condition.

For simplicity’s sake, I’m combining the statements of both daughters (currently 4 and 3).
Kids: I don’t like much boys.
Me: Why don’t you like boys?
Kids: I don’t know.
Me: Oh.
Kids: You’re a boy! We love you! We don’t like any other boys except we love you.
And that’s the way it better stay for at least 15 years.

If you’re not a parent or don’t want to talk about the logistics of sickness, move along… nothing to see here.
You’ve been warned.
So after Thanksgiving dinner was over and we were all about to head home, my nephew got sick. Really sick. Suddenly and explosively. And voluminously. It was very surprising, so for a second everyone . . . → Read More: Not for the queasy – where to get sick

It’s 2am. I’m finally about to go to sleep. Before I can get into the bedroom, though, I hear my daughter whimpering in her bed. Usually, this means she has to go to the bathroom, but not always. So I go in and nicely ask what’s wrong, at which point she thrashes a bit before settling . . . → Read More: Are all 3-year-olds like this?

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve recently reconnected with a lot of friends from my high school youth group through the wonders of Facebook. It’s been a lot of fun. There are now over 40 of us, and over 150 pictures, many of which are proof that the 80′s should never return.
But all of . . . → Read More: Facebook points to the past, and I consider the future

For all you dad’s out there, and mine specifically, Happy Father’s Day.
Thanks for all you’ve taught us, thanks for all the fun we’ve had. Thanks for the trips to the parks, the encouragement, and the discipline. And most of all, thanks for not killing us when we put a hole through the car battery (that may . . . → Read More: Happy Father’s Day

Were you paying attention in those psychology classes?
Do you remember the experiments where a rat was trained to press a lever to get food?
It’s amazing how relevant experiments on rats can be to parenting.
In pursuing my psychology degree, I took a lab where I had to perform that experiment myself. I had a rat of my . . . → Read More: Grilled cheese and the science of successive approximation

Those who know me may assume my own daughter can also do this. She can’t. Yet.
Smart kid.
