A letter to Darby (from the new Tigger and Pooh)

October 27, 2010 by shawnd

Dear Darby,I am writing to you today, because I have some grave concerns about several of your friends and I fear immediate intervention - perhaps literally - may be required in order to avoid catastrophe.That's right Darby, I am worried about Tigger, Pooh, Eeyore and Piglet.  I fear they may … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

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...]

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...]

If Peter Pan Had a Daughter (which we all know is impossible, or at the very least, creepy)

September 16, 2010 by shawnd

It turns out, there may be a reason I refer to my daughter as Pea.Like most guys, I have a Pea-ter Pan complex.  (Get it?)  Growing up is not a thing I am eager to do, and I've relished every moment of fatherhood as an opportunity to enjoy playing rather than doing the things I … [Read more...]

Big Comfy Bed

September 9, 2010 by shawnd

A few months ago, I announced (bravely, some might say) that my wife and I are co-sleepers.  Pea has never been a good sleeper and since Day 1 preferred the comfort of her parents over the loneliness of her crib.  We have always been receptive to this arrangement.  We work long … [Read more...]

The urbanmoms.ca ad by my biggest fan.

March 6, 2009 by Jen

We have a great little babysitter who comes to our house to play with my 6-year-old. She is a total social butterfly. Within minutes of meeting her I knew her whole life story and that of her parents. Plus, she thinks I'm cool and I like that ;) I mean she really thinks I'm cool. How do I know? … [Read more...]
