A boy first, or a girl first?

September 3rd, 2010 · No Comments · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir, The future

So we had Caitlin first before we had Caleb. It’s a 3 year 2 months gap between them. Boys mature slower than girls. This is quite evident; individual personalities and characters aside. When Hot Mummee was pregnant the first time, I had quietly wished that our first one would a boy. This isn’t a tightly-held [...]

Led by poor example

August 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir, Education, life skills

So sometimes Caitlin would ask to buy a strip of candy, like Mentos or Sugus. She tells me that she shares them with her school friends- I believe her. No doubt she may keep one or two more for herself but I think the fact that they generally finish so quickly is some kind of [...]

Mercy killing

June 13th, 2010 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir

Would you do it? I took the kids for a swim again this morning. Yesterday’s experience tells me that they enjoy hanging around underneath the simple man-made waterfall at the other end of the pool, where there are two major streams and some trickles like heavy rain falling onto the pool from about 4 feet [...]

Ball sense

That’s a description I had heard my bothers describe of me earlier, when i was fooling around and followed them to the driving range one evening. They said I have a good swing, only it lacked the whip of the wrist, that my swing is too rounded and even. Otherwise, I do “feel” it too [...]
