About me
I'm a soon to be Dad and will be staying home to be with my son to be. I have formal education in the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary arts and will hopefully be able to put that to use on the home-front.

Going Back To Work
Back
in
April
I
went
back
to
work
.
The
first
year
home with
my
son was
great
but
I
wanted
him
to
have
more
interaction
with
children his
own
age
than
I
could
find
parenting
groups
to
attend
.
One
interesting
thing
is
that
while
he
was
sick
maybe
twice
the
first
year
he
stayed
home with
me
,
he
'
s
been
sick
at
least
3
times
since
he
started
day
care
in
September
.

Holiday Fun
The
holidays
this
year
were
the
best
I
can
remember
in
some
time
.
They
were
also
some
of
the
busiest
days
I
can
remember
as
well
.
This
time
at
least
it
was
with
family
.
Being
a

has
its
benefits
during
the
holiday
season
for
sure
.
It
started
before
thanksgiving
going
hunting
and
spending
time
with
my
Aunt
and
Uncle
from
Colorado
where
normally
I
only
have
had
a
brief
1
to
2
day
stay with
.
Then
during
the
Christmas
Holidays
we
had
family
at
our
house
and
then
went
to
spend
New
Years
with
my
wife'
s
family
.
New

was
a

Celebration
as
collectively

Six Months Already
Its
hard
to
believe
its
been
<
b
>
six
months
already
b
>
since
my
son was
born
.
I
still
have
friends
and
family
ask
"
So
when
are
you
going
to
have
another
baby?".
And
though
looking
back
I
see
that
we
have
overcome
many
obsticles
;
like
waking
up
every
two
hours
to
feed
,
and
cholic
,
the
amount
of
care
and
involvement
necessary
for
a
child is
so
overwhelming
that
the
thought
of
having
another
at
the
moment
seems
somewhat
of
an
impossability
.
I
hear
that
mothers
will
tend
to
forget
or
be
de
-
sensitized
to
birth
pains
and
be
ready
again
for
a
baby,
but
I
wonder
do
stay at
home dads
forget
the

Fun Expression
As
time
goes
by
their
begins
to
be
more
and
newer
types
of
interaction
between
my
son and
I
. <
b
>
feeding
b
>
him
foods
has
been
a
lot
of
fun
and
a
lot
of
laughs
!
So
so
far
green
beans
are
going
to
take
some
work
for
him
to
get
accustomed
to
.
But
in
the
meantime
they
sure
make
for
some
good
pictures
and
laughs
.
He
like
eating
oatmeal
with
me
and
is
ambitious
when
it
comes
to
apple
sauce
. :) <
b
>
feeding
b
>
a
5
-
6
month
old
is
messy
but
a
lot
of
fun
,
just
as
long
as
you
are
able
to
take
your
time
with
your
baby and
just
enjoy
this
new
experience
with
him
.

Colic Can Be A Parenting Nightmare But Does Not Have To Be
I
'
ve
been
a
<
b
><
b
>
stay at
home dad
b
>
b

now
for
a
while
and
have
seen
lots
of
changes
and
challenges
with
our
baby son.
In
the
past
4
+
weeks
one
of
those
challenges
has
been
my
sons
crying
.
Its
extremely
frustrating
as
a
parent to
have
a
baby that
cries
frequently
,
but
even
more
so
when
there
is
no
apparent
reason
for
the
crying
.
Even
more
frustrating
can
be
the
strain
this
puts
on
the
parents relationship
.
Normally
I
consider
myself
a
very
patient
and
rational
person
,
it
is
what
has
made
me
successful
as
a
manager
in
my
career
.
However
,
I
found
myself
becoming
very
short
tempered
and
