Choose Your Own Adventure

theincredidad July 30, 2019 3 Comments
For me, there is nothing more stressful than finishing a chapter of a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. Two-Face has Robin dangling over a vat of acid. You only have time to save Boy Wonder or catch the crook. Do you: a) Throw your batarang to slice through Robin's ropes, or b) Tackle Two-Face and deliver him to Commissioner Gordon. Uh...can't I do both? Why isn't that an option? Won't Robin be…

Translating For Boy Wonder

theincredidad July 21, 2019 0 Comments
Boy Wonder's vocabulary is expanding every day. It seems like just yesterday he said his first words, Da-da. Of course he did say that yesterday and this morning too. Basically whenever he wants something I get summoned with a hearty "Da-da!". These days he says plenty of words clearly "Car!", "Trucko!", "Ice Cream Man!", and "No!". I find myself marveling at the idea that I can communicate with…

Dear Selection Committee Of My Future Career, Being an IncrediDad is by far the most rewarding career I've ever had but even Bruce Wayne needed a day job. The last time I had to update my resume and cover letter, Barrack Obama was still serving his first term as President of the United States, The Office was in it's eighth season, my car was still new, and I had a thirty-four inch waist. I'm not…

Follow my blog with Bloglovin "Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight." - Commissioner Gordon, The Dark Knight- Also my son says this about me, you just can't understand him…

Simple Distractions

theincredidad July 3, 2019 2 Comments
IncreiMom and I like to treat Boy Wonder to the fine dining experiences of Red Robin, IHOP, and occasionally Arby's. It's really a great deal. He shares off of my plate, which cuts calories for me. Then I burn off whatever I am able to shovel in my mouth (inside ten seconds) by chasing him around the restaurant after he declares "All done!". I don’t even feel guilty because it's dinner and a…

Zen and the Art of Automotive Maintenance…

“Here we go with the cars again,” I've complained to IncrediMom on more than one occasion. What had been a cute quirk—my son’s fascination with cars — was getting out of hand. No child needs seven Lightning McQueens, and yet here we are. The quest for cars usually takes over a routine trip to Target as well. I knew I had to bite my tongue. We all have our interests. IncrediMom loves…

Spending Time With Your Sidekick Even When Life Is Busy.

Parents are spending more time with their children than parents of any other generation since the 1960s. According to a recent study, modern parents spend close to an hour more taking care of their kids than parents did in 1965. But is that quantity of time really adding up to more quality time? Spending time with your little sidekick is how you are going to show that you love them. But…

Excuses

I've got a million of them. When Bex asks me why I haven't done the dishes, I can usually get away with using Boy Wonder as my excuse. He's too young to know I'm using him as my scapegoat but every once in a while he gives me an accusing look that makes me wonder if he suspects what I am up to. But I have excuses for everything. I have excuses for not working out, for eating an entire pint of…
