The First Day of Kindergarten

1
First Day of Kindergarten - School Bus

Today is my son’s first day of Kindergarten. Though he doesn’t know or understand it yet, today is the first day of at least thirteen years of formal education and savoring summers. It’s a rough cycle for a four-year-old to understand and it’s even more rough for a 39-year-old to have to explain. Instead...

My Four-Year-Old Is Ready For College

Children's Claritan

Pardon me for boasting a little bit here, but my four-year-old son Eddie is clearly ready for college. He has proven to his mother and me that he does not need the basic foundations of kindergarten, the monotony of grade school or the drama of high school. I think my pre-k son is just...

Son hurt his nose

“Mr. Coffee, there’s been an incident at school today…” said my son’s Pre-Kindergarten teacher on the phone while I was driving home from work.

shoes

I didn’t think I’d have to write about this for at least another 12 years, but my 4-year-old has not only discovered girls but also taken a keen interest in what’s cool to wear and what’s not cool to wear in his Pre-Kindergarten class. Not surprisingly, the two are not mutually exclusive. My four-year-old...

Hazelnut Coffee Syrup at Daycare

I’m allergic to most everything else on the planet, but, judging from the size of my pants, I clearly never struggled with any sort of food allergy. Before becoming a parent I was always pretty blind to the whole kids with peanut allergies thing. It was just this nebulous danger that had a slim...

We have a baby in the house which means that my wife and I spend approximately 23 hours out of the day feeding the baby, changing the baby, playing with the baby and trying to figure out what the baby will need in the next 23 hours. Usually the answers are pretty much the...

It has been about six weeks since my wife and I welcomed our beautiful little daughter into the world and so far the dire predictions from friends and family about wanting to sell off my kids to the circus have not come true. My four-year-old son is taking his little sister in stride and...
