Mugs and cups are nice but I take practical gifts any day

What has your kid(s) done today to you?

My kid just ran into the corner of the bed and gave herself a charlie horse. She started screaming and shouting "why!?" like Nancy Kerrigan and my wife and I just had to laugh. Anyone else ever think it's kind of funny when your kid does something like that?...

Ryder and his team of thugs will come and break your legs...

No....

My little one isn't even teething yet, but my wife and I were talking the other day about what we used to get from the Tooth Fairy when we were kids....

God I would love to mess with a celebrity in front of my kid when she's old enough to be embarrassed.

My wife writes little "notes from the tooth fairy" and swaps them for the tooth while she's asleep. I get the pleasure of proofreading the notes but this one broke me last night.

How do you all deal with complaining? Usually, I try to fix the problem, if there really is one, or deflect with humor.

I just need to brag that my 3 and a half year old didn't throw a single tantrum this weekend.

So we kept busy...

No injuries and we even had a couple of good runs where I wasn't holding on. A few more weekends and I think we've got this.

Took my one kid to a birthday party that was at a McDonald’s Play Place. It was much more organized (in large part thanks to the staff) than anticipated and so far one of the better pre-K parties I’ve been to....

Daddit was a wonderful community and I hope to see that same energy here!
