I think 4 is a great age to start pre-school. It's good for kids to start early and be around other kids. I think kids who go to pre-school excel more in school. Let him go.
Towels, toys, chairs, shovels, pails, etc. It will be a lot of fun I'm sure. My wife usually packs for day outings too. I'm lucky if I remember to bring myself - lol. Have a blast!
How do you get your kids to be active and exercise with you? I want to exercise as a family so we have started to cycle together and also walk together. What kinds of things do you do together to be active and healthy?
I have to say I am not, after reading this post I just may go to the next meeting. I'm one that likes to complain from time to time too about how things are done around here. I'm from a small town and I could get involved.
I can't imagine handing my kids off - I bet it is really hard. My brother is a divorcee and he has to meet his ex-wife at a store and hand them off. It's really odd if you ask me.
Congrats is right! How cool on St Patty's day! Are you Irish? It's great being a dad isn't it? I know what you mean though... it's all new experiences watching your wife go through the pregnancy!
Do you have an office? I would try to stick in it as much as possible during the work day. Perhaps you can work early in the morning when they are still sleeping and then have some time to do things with them too.
It's rainy and crappy out today so I'm cooking some wings. I love chicken wings but I don't like to make them when it's super hot.
Do you like wings? Do you make your own sauce?
I'm a gardener too, but it's not a hobby. I make time to do it- it's fresh fruits and veggies. I like to work on tractors. It's something I enjoy doing. Taking something that doesn't work and making it run.
Nope, my kids don't go back until September though. We have plenty of time left. I let the kids go with my wife for school clothes shopping. It's almost a full 2 weeks pay out the door!
I don't know either. I just know my wife always said breast milk is better. Who knows why? lol.... I guess it's just not something I ever really needed to know. I think formula must have the same types of things in it, I don't see a lot of sick babies.
We do all kinds of things including playing sports, riding 4-wheelers, hiking, and just being outdoors. I think it's important to get our kids active and outdoors.
We always had set time limits on the TV too when the kids were younger. Now as they are older, they choose to not watch as much. Heck I can't even get them to sit down to watch something.
No! and it would break my heart. I'm sure she will say it when I don't approve of her boyfriends. She has said it to my wife and it's sad. I am the one to deal with it when she does this.
We have always had pets. I think a cat or a dog would be fine. Just know ahead of time that you will be helping out a lot with the pet. It's a big responsibility for a child.
