Superhero Training

theincredidad January 26, 2020 0 Comments
THE HIDDEN BENEFITS Real heroes don't get superpowers from a spider bite. Gamma rays don't turn scientists into jolly green giants. And super-men don't crash-land on our planet. It just doesn't happen in real life. Real superheroes have to train every day, in order to hone their skills. That's just another reason why Batman has always been my favorite hero. Super-heroism didn't happen to him, he…

I wish I could say that I was Boy Wonder's favorite superhero but I'm not. Like most people, he is a fan of the Golden Age of heroes. The OG's. The one's I steal all the gadgets in my utility belt from. On the West Coast he has the dynamic duo of IncrediPapa and IncrediGramma and GreatGrams. On the East Coast, he has Super Grammie, and two GreatGrands. IncrediMom and I are outnumbered! We never…

Trials of Toilet Training

theincredidad December 19, 2019 1 Comments
Did you know that there are apps to help with potty training? Why the hell would anyone want that? Call me old fashioned, but I believe technology and the toilet are the farthest thing from peanut butter and chocolate. This sentiment goes double for any tech that is “smart” or “connected”. There’s a reason it’s called Twitter and not Shitter. Of course, I’m guilty of scrolling…

Thanksgiving With A Toddler

Today is the big kick off of the holiday season. For most of us, it will be the first inevitable family gathering of the season. Since this could set the tone for how public outings go for your toddler over the next month, it might be important to pull some tools out of your utility belt to help you both survive until the new year.  Spoken from childhood experience, Thanksgiving break is…

One Of The Hardest Things About Being A Dad In 2019

theincredidad November 23, 2019 1 Comments
Hey there Incredidads. Maybe you haven’t noticed but I haven’t flipped on the IncrediSignal in a few weeks. I hope you haven’t noticed because that means, like me, you are trying to vanquish one of the vilest super-villains an IncrediDad can face; putting down the phone. In the Disney/Pixar film “The Incredibles”, the heroes face off against a villain named Screenslaver, who hypnotizes…

Bed Time

theincredidad November 10, 2019 0 Comments
Although it happens around the same time every night, Boy Wonder acts like I'm sentencing him to hard time behind bars. So the defendant naturally tries to present his case the best that he can, even if that results in a bit of con-artistry. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. For example, they may not know their abc's or long division by the time they turn two but they sure…

Super Hero Training

I have terrible news to share with you. IncrediDad is no more. My new moniker is Daddy Evil . . . No, I don't like the sound of that. Let's try it again. I am BadDad! ArchNemesis to Boy Wonder. Why the sudden name change? As you know, IncrediReaders, we started him in daycare and, even though he survived pledge week, he is not a fan. The tears begin as soon as I pull into the parking lot every…

Save Money On Your Next Hotel Stay!!!

theincredidad August 30, 2019 0 Comments
A road trip from California to New York with a toddler and a cat was unpredictable at best. The last thing that we wanted to worry about was making "good time" getting to a specific hotel every night. Have you ever noticed that Dads have an obsession with "making good time"? Not once have I ever attended the Making Good Time Awards Ceremony but I'm sure it's filled with balding men wearing…

"Well I'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation...it's a quest. It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun!
