Dad Timeout: New Material, Girl
http://dadtimeout.blogspot.com/2014/12/new-material-girl.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. New Material, Girl. The book Lyla picked for me to read to her and Rowan at bedtime was something by Madonna. I hadn't seen it before, but I suspect it came from last Saturday's gift opening marathon with Julie's side of the family. A children's book written by the singer of "Like a Virgin" will be a perfect gift for a kindergartner, someone thought. Uh, I'll be right back." I headed downstairs with the book and found Julie. I think it's fine.". I don't think it's fine.".

Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Look and then start making out with me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dance recital tonight: Notice the white tights. We got to the recital and saw that, in accordance with the teachers apparent edic. 10,000 in the swear jar. Man, Lyla, your sheets are totally- I almost said they were totally fucked up. As a child who grasps new words quickly, Lyla. Rowan, its my birthday today. Is your bertday? Yup How many counts are you? A Few Good Things. The World Is Your Oyster.

Dad Timeout: September 2013
http://dadtimeout.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. Time goes on. The world spins. The kids grow. Life happens. I'm going to stop writing on this blog. Being a dad is still full of revelations and wacky moments, but I don't feel so compelled to share them these days. It's not that parenting is suddenly less interesting or fun; if anything it's much more so. It's also more comfortable, and being comfortable is not conducive to good writing. Links to this post. Saturday, September 28, 2013. Only the best moment of his entire life.

Dad Timeout: $10,000 in the swear jar
http://dadtimeout.blogspot.com/2013/12/10000-in-swear-jar.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 10,000 in the swear jar. Man, Lyla, your sheets are totally- ". I almost said they were totally fucked up. As a child who grasps new words quickly, Lyla would've started calling everything fucked up. "Daddy, your nostrils are fucked up." Not good. The trouble is Julie and I have always described imperfect bedsheets as fucked up. I don't know why. Julie says it's the only accurate phrase. Dan, you fucked up these covers.". I did not fuck them up.". December 31, 2013 at 8:25 PM.

Dad Timeout: Where is my timid, cautious toddler?
http://dadtimeout.blogspot.com/2013/12/where-is-my-timid-cautious-toddler.html
Saturday, December 28, 2013. Where is my timid, cautious toddler? Julie and Rowan arrived at the train show and found a very different situation from what was advertised. Rather than a Thomas the Train festival with wooden train tables, snacks, and life-size characters to hug, it was a locomotive trade show for old autistic men. Afterward, we ate at People's Organic, her favorite restaurant for reasons known only to God ("Why is it your favorite restaurant? Daddy, did you see that! Uh, sure.". Man, Lyla,...

Dad Timeout: Non-bath-night bath
http://dadtimeout.blogspot.com/2013/12/non-bath-night-bath.html
Friday, December 27, 2013. We've been parents for five years now and have never won a single award for the cleanliness of our children. "My, your children are clean," a stranger has never said. But this evening, Rowan requested a non-bath-night bubble bath. He wanted to relax after a tough day, perhaps, like every romantic comedy's female protagonist. So Julie sat up there with him while he splashed around. After 10 minutes or so, he stood up and announced, "I wanna det out now.". Okay, buddy.". Man, Lyl...

Dad Timeout: August 2013
http://dadtimeout.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 31, 2013. Lyla has been screaming at us a lot lately for what she perceives are ways we've wronged her. That photo is a rare exception. Either she's in a terrible phase of toddler bossiness, or her true personality has finally settled in. She's still a lovely girl- as long as she's getting her way. In other news, chocolate milk seems to bring out Rowan's paranoia. Links to this post. Friday, August 30, 2013. Here, now you can make your very own flipbook of a pre-MLB Rowan. Um, sure.".
