The Stank.

Nathan C. posted an article on - May 21, 2010, 4:29 pm
Still haven't found what I'm looking for     We all do stupid things. The trick is in trying not to repeat stupid mistakes. See, the one common denominator between all people is that we all do stupid things. The fine line that separates "normies" from "dummies" is how often stupid things are repe...

The Skootface.

Nathan C. posted an article on - May 7, 2010, 10:51 pm
IT'S SKOOTFACE!!!!     I've seen it a hundred times! Little Billy or Suzy is learning to crawl and those giant thighs are much stronger than their underdeveloped T-Rex arms. Frustration ensues. As a parent, we all want to give our children that extra little boost, leg up, or (if you've had a ba...

The Cruelty.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Apr 23, 2010, 1:16 pm
Num num num num num....     Evy is finally getting out of her colic, rolling over, laughing, giggling, all the things a beautiful baby girl should do. It's wonderful. She's happy and agreeable and that makes my job a heck of a lot easier and more fulfilling. The last few weeks have been just li...

The Eating.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Apr 19, 2010, 3:00 am
Before Magneto had a budget...     Evaline had her first meal today. She hated it. And, I gotta say, she did pretty awful. But it was funny, so that made up for her complete failure as an eater. It's okay though, we still love her. Also, I think I've figured out why her head, like all babies hea...

Ahhh...pink crinkle paper, my favorite.      It's kind of difficult to know what to do with a four month old. I mean, I know what to do with her, like feed her, change her, hold her, etc., but right now, her absolute favorite thing in the world is a piece of cloth with cellophane in it. That's...

The Attention.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Apr 4, 2010, 2:39 pm
     Things are starting to pile up. I haven't written a post, shopped for food, done dishes, or bathed in several days. Baby girl isn't even here yet. What's going to happen when she does come? I'll be running on less sleep than ever before, with more things to do, and less time to do them in....

The Passion.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Apr 3, 2010, 3:58 pm
We're not fighting, we're talking passionately...     First of all, let me apologize for taking such a huge hiatus. Admittedly, it's only been a little over a month and I'm new to this whole parenting thing, but I use to post every day, so it's my own fault for setting up your expectations. Onc...

The Lifting.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Mar 26, 2010, 3:00 am
     There's a scene in a Family Guy episode where Clinton's motorcade breaks down in front of Peter's house. Still excited about his new workout regimen, Peter tells the secret service he can lift the car all by himself. He says "the trick is to shift all the weight from your legs through to y...

The Frazzle.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Feb 18, 2010, 12:30 pm
     You remember Fraggle Rock? That was a great show. Well, now I live in Frazzle Rock. It's not nearly as good a show. When Evy sleeps I try to get school work done, or maybe clean up around the house, but not much happens because I'm too tired to work. So I try to lay down and catch some zzz...

The Communication.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Feb 7, 2010, 2:43 am
     Have you ever been walking down the street, and you see someone on the other side of a window, waving at you? You're not sure if you know them, and they're pretty far off, so you look around to see if there's anyone else around. Nope. No one. They must be waving at you! So, you start to wa...

The Apparent.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Jan 30, 2010, 10:48 pm
     It's apparent that I'm slowly becoming a parent. I'm starting to realize that having a child only proves two fertile people got together. Creating a new life doesn't make me a parent any more than a bad toupee makes someone not bald. Membership into the parent club happens in tiny incremen...

     Click on this link and check out "The Science of Babies". Totally helped me to appreciate Evy on a whole new level.

The Consensus.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Jan 25, 2010, 3:25 pm
     So, one of the easiest ways to decide if you're crazy or not is to see if other people experience reality the same way you do, there's a good chance you're not completely bonkers. As long as everyone else experiences the squares between the squares in the illusion on the left, even though ...

The Running II.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Jan 21, 2010, 1:11 pm
     Day three of staying home with Evy. Day one and two, no problem! She was fussless, she was without fuss. I was a great father! This thing was going to be easy. While I didn't say it, I was confident I had this parenting thing down. Apparently, it takes three days for me to eat my unspoken ...

The Disconnect.

Nathan C. posted an article on - Jan 19, 2010, 5:05 pm
 =      I'm not a computer genius. I think I'm better than most, but there are a lot of people out there better than me, and I'm better than all the people that currently live in my house. This means that when something electronic does goes haywire, it immediately gets passed to me. A friend...

The Wow.

     Everyone knows who this guy is. He's the guy that beats up prostitutes. What you may not know is that he sells kitchen kitch, like the SlapChop, and, more important to our conversation, the ShamWow. Vince says, you'll say wow every time you use it. Last night, I could have used something t...

     A couple of years ago, we got what we thought was a good deal on a car. It was/is a Pontiac G5. While it has been immortalized in a terrible song by Jesse McCartney, the Pontiac has still been canceled and the whole idea was a total mistake. Regardless, a two door sports coupe is a great i...

About Me

I am in a masters program for marriage and family therapy. My wife & I are expecting our first child in December & I realized there isn't a lot of good information for men having kids. So I set up this blog.
