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 [...]

Ball sense

June 8th, 2010 · 5 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caleb the heir, Ergonomics, Parenting musing, Photo opp, The future, milestones

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 [...]

Do you admire your own child?

June 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, The future, life skills

I do. At my 5 year old daughter. It’s not because she is my daughter, my own offspring. But this trait does make me rather secretly proud of her; that my own kid has this trait that I don’t think I had- have even, as an adult. Already from the very early days of starting [...]

Our China visit

January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Adventures, Caitlin the heiress, Photo opp, The future, milestones

My dad’s talked about this since the early 90′s: Of bringing the whole extended family for a visit to his hometown (more like village). Not that we minded the idea. Back then we only loathed about what the likely quality of basic amenities would be like. After all, there were stories of toilets with no [...]

“.. Light the corners of my mind…”

October 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Photo opp, The future, milestones

This, and last week, were quite significant for me. My parents are moving to a new gated community along with my two older brothers. What is significant; I guess not just for me, is that our parents have been living in this house since 1984, when it was renovated, and since 1975 on that same [...]

My Father’s day

June 22nd, 2009 · 6 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Parenting musing, Photo opp, Simple pleasures, The future

How did I spend it? Father’s Day isn’t really a big thing in my own family, but it is a little bigger in Hot Mummee’s (not a major thing, just bigger than mine). Since we usually spend our weekends at my parents’ place (my kids rarely get to see them during the week), today we [...]
