New Look At The Daddy Complex

I’ve had the same theme at The Daddy Complex since I started it nearly three years ago. I figured it was time to try a new look. One major benefit is individual posts now feature share/tweet/+1 options, so… y’know… feel free to share/tweet/+1.

I’m still tweaking it but, if you haven’t visited the actual site in a while, pop by and check it out.

Or don’t. I don’t care.

When It Rains…

davidvienna:

So, my play premieres next weekend and I just found out the movie I wrote was accepted in the San Luis Obispo Film Festival.

Yay!… I hope I’m not using up all my good luck for the year.

This is relevant to my parenting blog because the film is about our struggle with infertility.

(I feel kinda funny posting this right after asking everyone to spread the word about my puppet show.)

High-res The boys weren’t listening to us at bedtime last night, so I roped them in by taking art requests. (This table is in their room.) Here’s who requested what… Me: gorilla Boone: lion (Wyatt kept shaking the table, so not my best lion. He looks more like a member of Spinal Tap.) Wyatt: giraffe Larissa: bird Afterward, we all named our animals.

Hey, Everybody…

Can you help me out with something?

I thought a puppet show about raising babies would take off, but the build has been pretty slow. (I’m sure our hiatus didn’t help either.)

I really want to get Fighting With Babies out to more people. If you don’t mind, please share either the latest episode or the main YouTube channel with your Facebook friends, Twitter and Tumblr followers, your blog readers, your AA sponsor — anyone you think might dig it.

Thanks a heap, everyone. You are super-awesome.

And I mean that.

High-res We let our boys jump on the bed. And jump off the bed. It’s the boys’ favorite pre-bedtime activity… also, their favorite mid-day activity and occasionally their favorite late-afternoon activity. That blur is Wyatt hurling himself across the room. They usually pile their beanbag chairs, pillows and blankets between their two beds and execute dramatic leaps. (Don’t worry, I moved that table.) They have yet to experience a mid-air collision because we taught them early on, if they were going to do aerial acrobatics, they needed to take turns. Last night, Wyatt perfected a jump in which he spins a full 360 degrees and lands in a sitting position. He also did one in which he somehow missed the beanbag and landed on his back, legs up in the air. He thought it was hysterical. My wife said, “Your son, Chevy Chase.”
