Daddy's Home: Touching the Source.
http://christophervandijk.blogspot.com/2011/07/touching-source.html
Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Monday, July 18, 2011. I am an American. I was born here and it is truly the only home I now. I am a fan of countries like the Netherlands or France and one day would like to retire there. But going to Amsterdam on this recent trip was like connecting to a source of something I never knew existed. My father and his cousin in Schagen, Netherlands. My grandfather. looking very cool. In the end...

A blog for the folks the fitness mags have left behind. Secret Agent knew that I needed to vent and then just rub some dirt on it. She has the distinct advantage of knowing me since the 7th grade, so she knows how difficult I can be when cranky, but she also knew what I needed at that moment…a friend and a distraction. We are selectively offering membership to others, ensuring harmonious living. My gusband will be joining us, provided there is a dance club and a stable of hot, young men. We were ...You a...

Daddy's Home: December 2010
http://christophervandijk.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Thursday, December 2, 2010. We're getting our first experience with a sick baby. An eight month old on a floating petri dish? Turns out he was just fine. He even made a little trip into Cozumel, despite our initial promise to not leave the ship. Somehow I've managed to come out unscathed (knock wood) but the VanDijk house is definitely under the weather. Posted by Chris VanDijk. Fatherhood&#...

Daddy's Home: August 2011
http://christophervandijk.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Sunday, August 7, 2011. This is a teachable moment. It's about respect, quelling your own selfishness and knowing that rummaging through someone's skivvy drawer is wrong. First, this plea. It's two feet away from my proffered warm empty one. Obviously you can guess this was my afternoon encounter. This woman in her late twenties actually tossed out, "I'm a very well educated woman! Posted by...

Daddy's Home: July 2010
http://christophervandijk.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Thursday, July 22, 2010. Here's an update on life in the Boy's Club. The cloth diapering situation is interesting. The actual diapering is easy. There is, however, a funky dead shrimp smell. Yes, a dead shrimp smell. It's from the diaper bin. I am searching for a solution. I have done little work. Again, we're figuring it out. The Boy's Club is truly a moment to moment exercise. On the other...

Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Walking and talking and potty.ing - oh my! Turtle took to walking as soon as we landed from Paris. He was experimenting with walking while we were there, but he truly got up on his own and began to trot around the playground as soon as we got back. For more on how and why this happens.). Big milestones happening in a very short time. Posted by Chris VanDijk.

Daddy's Home: May 2010
http://christophervandijk.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Thursday, May 27, 2010. My wife and I are coordinating posts today. Babywearing is an important topic and deserves more than a five minute "fashion" segment on the Today show that lacked substance and was dangerously irresponsible in it's paucity of information. Rarely do I ask people to pass on a blog, but please, if you find anything below helpful, pass it along! Dr William Sears,. This is...

Daddy's Home: Letting Go.
http://christophervandijk.blogspot.com/2011/06/letting-go.html
Taking on the world armed with a baby sling and diaper bag. My world through a lens. Skinned knees in short pants. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Sixteen years ago I got my wife a graduation present. I was working nights at Gepeto's, a pizza place in Salt Lake City, and the owner's cat had kittens. His daughters would bring them in all the time and I couldn't resist. We drove up to the avenues and picked up the smallest of the cats, this runt with pure white fur, and named her Bianca. And suddenly, Moishe, th...
