The Sesame Effect

theincredidad October 29, 2018 1 Comments
How am I supposed to teach my son to embody love when we live in a country that always seems on the brink of a second civil war? Between Twitter wars,  gender politics, President Trump, and race relations, we are living in an age of outrage. How exhausting is that? Thankfully there is still one bright light shining over at PBS that can set a good example for him. Through Sesame Street’s…

Future Engineer – A Student Of His World

theincredidad October 9, 2018 1 Comments
"Quantum Physics For Babies" by Chris Ferrie caught my eye on a recent visit to Target. At first I laughed because this cute board book was masquerading as toddler text book. I've also watched Boy Wonder "read" enough books to know the he would look like a miniature scientist with that in his hand. Then a more serious thought struck me, he already is a miniature scientist and the whole world is…

Meals You Know By Heart

theincredidad October 7, 2018 0 Comments
When Boy Wonder started eating real food, Bex and I agreed that we wanted him to eat healthier than we do, but why? The plan was to raise him as a "flexitarian". That meant mostly fruits and veggies, some meat, and limited refined sugars. Our diet is mainly meats, some veggies, and lots of junk food. I don't feel so Incred-ble writing that last thought. Spend five minutes with me and I'll tell…

Coffee vs. Red Bull vs. Water

theincredidad October 2, 2018 0 Comments
Day 336 - Boy Wonder is still not sleeping through the night.  To get us through those rough nights and groggy mornings, IncrediMom and Dad need a power boost. We each have our poisons. I brew a rich, steaming hot, cup of coffee while Bex reaches for an ice cold can of Red Bull Blue Edition. Somehow, we still end up arguing over who is more tired. So I decided that the most scientific way to…

Where Is My Super-Suit?

theincredidad September 19, 2018 1 Comments
Batman has his cowl. Superman wears his tights. James Bond slips into a tuxedo like it's his second skin. Indiana Jones never loses his hat. The Incredidad wears a tee-shirt and shorts. All of these men have three things in common: They've all saved the world from time to time. They have their own version of a super suit. They all get the girl. Moral of the story is - Women love a man in uniform.…

This is your captain speaking. We're cruising at 30,000 feet with blue skies ahead...Hold on...I've just received word that someone has brought a baby on board. Folks buckles in and stay seated. You're in for a rocky flight. After watching the other passengers avoid us like we were diseased, the flight attendants glare at us with weariness in their eyes, I swear that's what I heard over our…

Tips For Flying With A Baby – Part 1

theincredidad September 7, 2018 1 Comments
Your Pre-Flight Check List If the CIA really wanted to get their terrorist suspects to talk, they should force them to take a long flight with a baby on their lap. That kind of unconstitutional torture is exactly what Bex and I willingly submitted too last month. If I had any State Secrets to share, I would gladly have sung like a canary after those flights. So if you're thinking about going on a…

It Takes A Village

theincredidad August 12, 2018 0 Comments
When my cousins and I were little, my Gramma's brother, Uncle Jack, would bring his family down to visit our wild tribe every once in a while. I was too young to experience it first hand but I've been told that he would always remark how everyone just seemed to pitch in when it came to the kids. If someone was crying, the nearest adult would scoop them up. If someone was hungry, a plate got…

When Your Secret Identity Becomes Your Only Identity

theincredidad July 20, 2018 3 Comments
We Lost Our Identity To Parenting!Last night we got Boy Wonder to bed pretty early (seven-thirtyish), which left Bex and I a few hours to ourselves. The nights when this happens are few and far between. We operate on different schedules and wind up being home together only two nights a week. Now, you would think that we'd take advantage of this well deserved grown up time and you'd be right. We…

So Bex decided to write a Guest Post about her own experiences with breastfeeding. As always, please join us in the conversation by adding to the comments below.  ~The IncrediDad   Checking In With Bex Breastfeeding is one of the…
