Dreaming my dreams…

January 13th, 2010 · No Comments · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Parenting musing, Simple pleasures

Kids had only just gone back to school after a really really long year-end break. Being the rather laid back parents that we are; okay maybe “lazy” is the better description, we had only left it to the kids to entertain themselves with repeated playing of their favourite DVD’s. One in particular this season was/is [...]

Sleeping by herself

October 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Ergonomics, life skills

It’s not too surprising that Asian parents let their children sleep in the same room as them; with the cot or the small toddler-sized bed in the room.

The other things would also be when she [...]

Of one-armed bandits and midnight pees

August 30th, 2008 · 3 Comments · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir, Infant development, Parenting musing, Photo opp

Mini milestone for Caleb

July 20th, 2008 · 7 Comments · Caitlin the heiress, Caleb the heir, Infant development, Parenting musing, Photo opp, milestones

So I had mentioned before that I was a little concerned about Caleb sleeping on his tummy when he was only at such a young age. Of course then the assurance that it was all ok by other mothers was, well, reassuring. So he’s been sleeping on his front this whole time. With his little [...]
