Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1669B. So I have done some thinking. I may be destined to fail as a father. No, I don’t dislike my kids. No, I haven’t put them in harms way nor do I intend to. I have just had bad role models. I’m not talking about my father, or […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1649. The weekend has ended. The Captain has never been so excited to return back to school. There are no bolts to tighten, boards to lift, or slides to assemble. The monstrosity has been assembled and sits defiantly in the backyard. It would not exist without the Captain’s neighbor. […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1646. It is Friday and that should be a good thing. However, today the Captain feels like that kid that picked on the school bully and now has a date with destiny behind the schoolhouse after the last bell. You know, one of those, “Oh. So you think you’re […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1639. The Diaper Dweller is approaching full strength. This makes the crew happy and scares us at the same time. Around dinnertime last night, the Diaper Dweller resumed his regular tactics. He tortured the Eldest by taking her things. Fortunately, she found it adorable and cute. It might have […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1638. The diaper dweller is homebound for a second straight day. The Captain is in charge of the infirmary today. Yesterday was a comedy of errors. The Diaper Dweller stayed awake most of the night culminating with a fever at 3 a.m. The Captain tried to go to […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1634. Short entry. Once again The Eldest battled. She refused to sleep in her own bed. The rebellion was subsided with a book and book light, yet I fear that it is not over yet. The Diaper Dweller staged his own Occupy movement. I attempted to rock him. He […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1635. The Captain has been the father of a daughter for over 4 years now. This has meant the participation in some pretty ridiculous things. And by ridiculous the Captain means fun though sometimes slightly uncomfortable. The Captain has played dress up, had tea parties, had dance parties while […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1569. I have survived three days on my own. The natives are restless. Currently, my arms are receiving rest thanks to the jumperoo that the diaper dweller is indulging in and expending precious energy (it didn’t last for long – he is sleepy now). The eldest is eating waffles […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1568. Quick entry/discovery. Just had one of those deja vu moments. The diaper dweller is only 7 months old. I shouldn’t be too critical, but I thought he would be crawling by the time my break was over – an obvious testament to my rearing. Alas, he cannot. He […]
Captain’s Log. Daddy Chronicles. Diaper Date 1566. Today I was left alone with both children. Since I am still on Winter Break, both of the heirs to the Captain’s empire stayed home instead of going to daycare. Mrs. Captain claims to have to work, but I think she may be abandoning the ship for a […]
