Notes from a Stay at Home Dad… tips, tricks, stories and fun
Wyatt’s One
Wyatt's one!  Now that he is all grown up... its easy to see just how different boys and girls really are.  All boy, this one.  Wants to wrestle and play fight all the time.  He loves to torture  his big sister, and she likes to try to push him around... too bad he almost weighs as much as she does, and takes her down like a WWF superstar.  His favorite thing to do now is play chase, and des...
Nine months and walking… again!
Again... I thought  I was going to have a little more time before the little guy started walking.  Nope, just like his big sis... he picked up walking early.  Just over nine months... and he is staring to walk around, determined to master the two legged art of the giants.  And I am sure that in a week or two, running will come, along with a whole new set of injuries and adventures.  But for n...
Baby Proofing the House
It's been a few years since i last baby proofed the house, and now it seems, its time for it again.  It never fails, that the one thing that your forget to make safe, is the one thing that they will hurt them self or go for, over and over again.  Here is my list of necessary things to be baby proofed, again. Covers on all the outlets - babies like to stick things there all the time, toys, f...
Nine Months
The boy is nine months old now, and I can tell... he'll be walking soon.  He is learning some good tricks from his big sis, like how to climb up on things by stacking things up to get higher.  Soon he will learn that the higher you get... the harder you will fall.  We have had a few good falls, no blood... but still good falls.  I can tell that this boy is going to be tough... little t...
Poop Galore!!!
We recently made the switch to solid foods.  Well, not really solid... mush.  I am really starting to miss the days of a strict boob milk diet.  Not too many poops and the smell was bearable.  Now, with the addition of formula and baby food, the poo flood gates have opened and I have found myself in a non stop diaper changing haze.  I mean it's nuts man.  It doesn't stop.  Back to back to b...

So we are in this crazy princess phase right now.  At first it was just Snow White, and I don’t even know how that one started.  I have tried so hard to give this little girl cars and trucks, sports stuff, dinosaurs… it’s just not happening.  The girliness runs deep in this one.

Now were on all princess all the time.  I hope that this princess thing last for  a while because, at this point, we’re pretty invested.  We have princess sheets, chairs, dishes, shoes, dresses, books and dolls.  And for the DVDs… Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast… and a bunch more Disney movies.  She only like movies with princess singing in them.

Alice in Wonderland is in the mail… I look for ward to the change?

Return Your Baby Einstein DVD’s for Books… or Cash, or Don’t

Posted By: newdadscliffnotes.com on October 25, 2009 in TV and Movies - Comments: No Comments »

images-1So there is this company that got Disney to admit that their so called educational videos for infants are not educational at all… now, you can send in your DVDs for books or music… or even get a FULL refund.  Check it out on the links below.

I on the other hand thought that these videos helped a little.  Not that I thought that I was persuaded or tricked by anyone to get the DVDs, but my baby seemed to enjoy the shows.  I try to limit the amount of TV that my kid watches… but the shows are so entertaining for them… so sue me.  The smart doctor authority types say that kids under 2 years old should not ever watch TV.  Sounds good to me… good luck… I have four TVs in my house.

If you want your refund here are the links to get it.
