I don’t break much news on my blog, but we had Go Diego Go on Noggin here and right before the show started they announced they were changing the name of the whole channel to Nick Jr.!!!!!
And all of a sudden the little logo in the corner says Nick Jr. in poofy letters instead of [...]

They are pretty much barbarians. I guess that doesn’t come as too much of a shop to most readers. But it seems like their brains sort of stop working for several years.
My own teenage boy, compaed to others, is way ahead of the game. He only drives me a percentage of the time instead of [...]

Waking up early before the rest of the crew, even if it’s to write up a couple of articles for the weekend’s newspaper, is still a rare blessing in a busy house.
The living room is quiet except for the tapping on the keyboard, and the multiple colors of the post-sunrise sky outside look nicer than [...]

When my 3-year-old stepson was preparing for his first year of preschool, we had some worries about his allergy to cinnamon, that he might be exposed to something inadvertently.

Sounds like it isn’t a big deal, but I’ve gone most of my first 36+ years not liking them much at all. Save [...]

We leave in 25 minutes and I felt like writing.
For my 4-year-old, it’s actually the first day of her second year of preschool. So she’s a veteran. She’s been excited for days.
For her 3-year-old stepbrother, it’s his first day of preschool ever, in the 3-year-old program she was in last year. Same class in fact. [...]

My first memory comes from when I was in preschool.
The school was through a church down the street from where my parents were teaching at the university. We walked across a parking lot to a little playground to play on nice days. They had several toys and some old-school red tricycles that I never once [...]

Earning the title of dad means, among a lot of other things, having to get a lot better in a hurry in the kitchen.
Or, it means figuring out a lot about pizza. How to make frozen ones and how to buy them from stores.
I found an interesting article on Yahoo.com last week on the least [...]
