Being a parent is the greatest adventure that I have experienced in life. Being a dad has provided me with a new perspective in life and forces me to become a better person every day. My wife, Erin, and I have been blessed with 2 healthy, and mostly happy, daughters. Abigail was born April 29, 2011 and Bridget was born 3 years and a week later, on May 6, 2014. I'm pretty sure they could not be any different from each other. Join me on my journey of being a parent.

Valentine's Day And Hair Twirling

On Monday, Erin and I got to attend a Valentine's party at Abigail's school. We started with breakfast in the cafeteria and then went back to her classroom for a short program and talent show. I'm pretty sure it was the cutest thing that I have ever seen. A bunch of kindergartners singing songs is a great way to start the day. Abigail was so proud and excited to have Erin and I at school with her and we are equally as proud at how well she is doing in Kindergarten.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, we have been dealing with trying to break a hair twirling habit that Bridget has had for quite some time. She twirls her hair in combination with sucking her thumb. Over the past year we have tried everything that we can think of to keep her from sucking her thumb.  We have used thumb guards, taped on mittens at nap and at night (those seem to be the worse times), and most recently tried some of the bitter nail polish. Everything worked for awhile, but nothing got the job done and it kept getting worse and worse. Finally, I talked Erin into letting me get Bridget's hair cut short enough that she couldn't twirl it. Tonight I took her to Great Clips and got it done. Of course, Bridget is 2, so even a really short hair cut looks cute on her. We are hoping for the best.

Lastly, it isn't often that we get temperatures in the 50s and 60s during February. We have taken advantage of the weather and have done some playing outside. I think getting out of the house has done us all some good.
