GRATZ, fellow DAD. May the many future midnight hours and stars shine on you.

Hope that helped.

Hope that helped. 🙂

williamarrata · ‎06-02-2008

Also, start getting used to a few good late night shows at about 1:00 AM, then 3:00 AM then 5:30 ish. Program your tv to turn on at those times. LOL

Hope that helped. 🙂

Congrats Massimo! Your life has just changed for ever (for the better, I must say!). The first child is a radical shift in lifestyle...the second is a big change, the third is "What, I left one on the playground??" - and from then on, what's one more???

You can have six points for trying to be nice, not too sure if gloating over them sleeping through helps, but at least you had the drool :smileygrin:

Well ...... I'm into the terrible 2's right now so it's not all good. I just didn't want to scare him more.

Jasemccarty · ‎06-03-2008

Terrible 2's... That doesn't describe it in the least (at least not here on the bayou).

How about the Tornado 2's, or the the Typhoon 2's.

And 3 is even worse than 2.

True ..... but then to quote an expert .... "and from then on, what's one more???"

I've noticed that around 2 years old, they determine (already) that they know it all, except for when you ask them a question.

Which is always followed by "I don't know"

Then when they turn 5, they beg for a dirt bike or for a puppy or cat.

When they turn 7/8, they beg for a cell phone (at least down here on the bayou)

At 9, they beg for a bigger dirt bike

At 10, they beg for some animal, that wouldn't be considered a "pet".

So at this point, I'm living with some "know it alls" that want a bigger dirt bike, cell phones, and I'm the one cleaning out the coop for a duck.
