All-day long
My almost 3yrs old kid wants to go to the store all day long. Wants to go to the park all day long. Who am I to say no. I understand. There are a few things I would like to do all day long too. All night long too. Some of them in bed. Ok.... Continue Reading →
From Toddler to Preschool age
My son is 2 and 11 months old. In 1 month he will get into a new stage of Child Development - the Preschool age.

The search for a new home
Space - the final frontier...Nope, not that kind of space. Not yet anyway. The kind of space where you can put your foot down and not trip over a toy. Me and my wife got an apartment a few years ago when it was just the 2 of us. Two rooms and one big kitchen.... Continue Reading →
The good and the bad
Did you ever have a feeling of how good of a parent you are? It's probably one of the best feelings in the world. Then you probably had the reverse too - the feeling of being the worse parent. In the world, of course. As my son grows up with each day he tests his... Continue Reading →
