I’m just poking my head in long enough to tell you all to go see The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith. It is absolutely fan-freaking-tastic. Seriously.

It’s Christmas time here at Chez Daddy Daze, so posting will cease until probably January. So, if you celebrate Christmas, have a great time. If you celebrate any of the other December holidays, and I missed it, chalk it up to my own ignorance, But I hope you had fun. See you next year.
We did this last year, and it worked out great. We’ve got two kids, so we bought three styles of wrapping paper. Presents given to Grace from Santa were wrapped in Paper A, to William From Santa in Paper B and to either of them from their mother and me in Paper C. That way, the kids can easily recognize which presents are theirs as well as who they’re from. Plus, it allows us to avoid that annoying; "Oh, who is that from? What? Oh, look on the tag. What do you mean it fell off? Just…ugh, give me the paper…"
DO NOT wrap presents before you fly. You WILL be required to unwrap them at the airport. You have been warned.
Feel free to attack me, but please hold off until you’ve read the entire post.
Playing with the kids is SO. FREAKING. BORING. We all go to the playground at least twice a week, often more. There is a finite number of times I can feign interest in watching Grace do the exact same thing. "Look, daddy!" as she slides down the same red slide for the 118th consecutive time. "Yeah, honey! Wow, that’s great!" Translation: Is it 12:30 yet so we can go home, have lunch at take a nap? Because I’m bored out of my mind.
But I’m not a jerk, really. Read on…
William has got the runs and puking. Grace is puking. My wife is puking. Wheee! Here’s hoping it all ends before next week.
As an aside, does anyone else think "Porcelain God" would be a good name for a rock band?
Christmas shopping done….in one day….with both kids in tow…by myself.
Oh. Yeah.

Ok, so who among us doesn’t remember sitting in the waiting rooms of our childhood pediatrician, scared to death and consoled only by the copies of Highlights Magazine that were strewn about? I sure do. Highlights was the only thing that could distract me from the fact that Dr. Ross was about to stick me with a needle (hidden pictures, anyone?).
Today, Highlights For Children, Inc. announced that they’re going to be producing a new magazine, called Highlights Five, targeted specifically towards two- to six-year-olds. More details follow…

Lately I’ve been thinking about you, my dear readers. Specifically, I’d like to have more interaction with you all. It’s nice to get a little back-and-forth going in the comments, but sometimes I think it’d be nice to go beyond that. So, I thought of a bulletin board.
If I set one up, would you all make use of it? There’d be an open thread, as well as others that expand on posts here, parenting issues, fatherhood concerns, news and so on. Is anyone interested? We could form a nice little community here, I believe. Let me know what you think.
What’s your favorite Christmas movie? I bet it’s not the same as mine. It’s A Wonderful Life? No. A Christmas Story? Close, but no. It’s Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas. I just got the DVD, and it includes a great making-of documentary, very funny outtakes and more. Why do I love this movie so much? Read on…
