Sicks months

"But I think he's getting sick" said mommy. "I think you're just experiencing separation anxiety. He'll be fine"...


It was a grueling drive from Gainesville to Miami, that daddy only survived thanks to a well-packed diaper bag. A total lack of shame allowed me to walk into businesses along the way and ask for permission to plug in the bottle warmer so that I could feed my momless, starving child. He was also getting sicker, his nose stuffier as the hours went by.
Thanks to the quick-thinking of "mamina" (my mom) and Noelia,
who made a doctor visit to show me how to properly restore respiratory function (a.k.a, suck out his boogers), we were able to maintain the patient in stable condition - until he made a trip back to lieutenant mommy.

Tyce got his first haircut last month. The first word out of Courtney was: "does mom know you brought him here?". This notion of moms being the sole authority in kid's lives is very discriminatory for dads like me. I'll talk more about that on next month's article. Yes, we did save the hair and no, he didn't cry....sheesh...relax, daddy's on it.

He is the * star * of the Day Care. Some of the ladies even have Tyce pictures on their cell phones. They note that he is so physically and mentally developed for his age that it makes it more fun for them to interact and play with him. He reserves the right to reject any bottle not heated to the perfect temperature. Just "warm"? not good enough....it must be "nice-warm". He may push it back until you get it right. He plays some old classics, and even takes requests on his 4 key piano.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it made me think about how thankful I am for everyone who has taken the time to be part of his life. Only a parent can understand how appreciative one feels for those that show our kids love. This month's "short-film" is a tribute to all of you that do. We don't have pictures of everyone but you are reading here that we appreciate you ALL very much.
Turn UP the volume, and enjoy!
