Monday, June 7th, Christopher, Matteo and I met Mommy Sara for lunch. We spent about an hour together catching up on Matteo’s milestones and listening to Mommy’s new adventures since our last visit. During our visit, Matteo turned to Mommy and said, “Momma, Momma.” I hesitated to see Mommy’s response. Though I was afraid she [...]

“Excuse me, Daddy. Where are we going?”
On Saturday, after the boys had awakened from their naps, and Daddy had returned from his day of leisure, Dad, Daddy and the boys hopped into the car to head to Peet’s for afternoon coffee and a snack. While getting into the car, Christopher emphatically stated that he wanted to get his cookie from La [...]
“I don’t want to eat this. It looks like cat food”
We spent some time this weekend with our friends, John and Troy, and their kids, Randy and Katie. The weather was great; the kids played on the deck in the backyard, while daddies drank “juice”. For dinner, Troy served a very delicious pot roast, polenta and salad. When we sat down for dinner in their [...]
Our next toilet-training victim
Did I say victim? I meant candidate. With Christopher fully potty trained except for night-time diapers, we won’t start training Matteo for some time; however, it is nice to see that he has an affinity for sittin’ on the pot. Another positive note – both boys wear size 5 diapers, which means we only need [...]
Rockin’ my K-Swiss
Yesterday, I discovered that Matteo’s toes were at the tip of his Stride Rite prewalker shoes. Bad daddies. Anyway, after walking around the Lake today, we stopped in at the Foot Locker to get some new shoes for Christopher and Matteo. I found a decent pair of K-Swiss Classics. Check out Matteo after nap time. [...]

Damn you, Sugar
For Easter, Nana and Pop-pop and Grandma Kathi gave Christopher and Matteo an Easter basket. In each basket, Christopher was excited to find jelly beans – excited once he ate one and realized how wonderful they were. Nana and Pop-pop’s basket came with a rather large bag of jelly beans. One day after school, we [...]
It has started…
…and “why not?” We have been waiting for this day; it has arrived. We are looking to the incessant “why not, Dad (or Daddy)?” eventually to be followed by the ever popular, “Because I said so!” Yes, we are turning into our parents. Fortunately, at the moment, he seems to be satisfied with our responses [...]
The price of independence
Just the other day Christopher was taking a shower – this is not uncommon. We often put Christopher in the shower if 1) we need to clear his chest congestion, 2) reduce a fever, or 3) simply clean him quickly with little fuss. Back to the shower…as I was finishing brushing my teeth, I said [...]
