Pea Hates Me. Good.

October 25, 2010 by shawnd

"I want my mommeeeee!"Lately, this statement has been heard routinely in the hallways and bedrooms of my house.  It is usually accompanied by sobbing wails of sadness, violent acts of anger and intense pleas for justice.And with this lament comes the inevitable.  At a little over two years … [Read more...]

OMG Dad, you are like, SO lame.

October 21, 2010 by shawnd

Remember a little while ago, when I wrote a post about how Pea saw me come down the stairs wearing my new cap and told me I look like I should be driving a train?Well, it happened again.  This time, I was wearing this shirt:So, one of three things is happening here.Pea picked up on the western … [Read more...]

Becoming Self-Aware

October 20, 2010 by shawnd

I've learned a lot since becoming a Dad.  I've learned how to change diapers, and how to swaddle a child, and how to hide peas and carrots in pasta by mashing them up so they are imperceptible. At the very least, I've learned what any parent will learn when they have their … [Read more...]

GO TO SLEEP! AAAAHHHH!

October 16, 2010 by shawnd

A few nights ago, I tried to put Pea to sleep.  A pointless exercise, if there's ever been one.Some things to remember:Pea sleeps in her own bed now, in her own room.To put her to sleep, either my wife or I lay down in her bed with her, read her stories and give her a tall glass of milk to ease … [Read more...]

The Day I Lost My Sh*t

October 12, 2010 by shawnd

This past holiday Monday, my wife and I spent the day at a local mall.  We asked my parents to watch Pea and we made it to the mall - one of the few open in the GTA - at around 1pm.When we arrived, it was as if Christmas had come early.  There were people everywhere and parking was … [Read more...]

The Flower Girl

October 10, 2010 by shawnd

So, my sister-in-law asked Pea to be the Flower Girl at her wedding this week.  To say Pea stole the show would be an understatement.  She showed composure walking down the aisle (with her Dad/Ring Boy).  She showed elegance when she was introduced during the Bridal Party intros. … [Read more...]

Pea Soup

October 4, 2010 by shawnd

"Go to bathroom."  That's what Pea said just before it happened. This story begins as Pea and I are laying in her bed last night, trying to go to sleep.  For all intents and purposes, this was a fairly standard evening. Except for the fact that we were going to bed a little later than … [Read more...]

What did you say?

September 29, 2010 by shawnd

Lately, Pea has been saying all kinds of stuff that baffles and stuns me.  Most of it is cute stuff, that makes me laugh in amazement.  Like when we play with her giant fruit stand, and out of nowhere she calls me 'Sir?'  That's cute.  Like when I am trying to get her to sleep … [Read more...]

A trip to the Ex with a little fashionista

September 25, 2010 by shawnd

How long does it take a woman to have a sense of style?  More to the point, how long does it take a woman to subliminally select clothes for the men in her life?  Apparently, just over two years.Here's how the story goes...Like most people who live in the Greater Toronto Area, my family … [Read more...]

Is Anthony Wiggle really all that and a bag of chips?

September 22, 2010 by shawnd

I think Anthony, the blue Wiggle, is mailing in his performances... and truth be told, I don't think he can be trusted. Like most of you, I'm sure, the Wiggles have become a mainstay in my home.  We are the proud owners of 6 Wiggles DVDs, 1 plush Jeff, 1 plush Sam, 4 books, 2 sticker … [Read more...]
