So last week I started potty training my daughter. She is like 3 and a half now. When the wife would try our daughter would say the panties were itchy and Mom would cave and put her back in a diaper. But Dad is like hell no, I'm done with poopy butts.
I read a few posts from people here to see what they did. Rewards and such. I bought a bag of gummy krabby patties and anytime she went she got one. And my old boss sweetend the deal with a free slurpee anytime she goes #2.
Okay, I want to start this post by stating that the person about whom I am writing was very sweet and I am sure meant absolutely no harm. However...
About two to three times weekly, I take my 14-month-old son for a morning stroll down to Peet's Coffee. I find Peet's to be much better than Starbucks, but I shall leave that topic for another discussion. Anyway, the stroll is about one mile in each direction, and it gives us some time outside before his morning nap. Generally, I take some fruit and a yogurt for him, and I order a muffin and a dry cap. This morning was no different.
Yeah I should probably search the forums or net for this, but it’s funner to do it here.
I need a good blog hit tracker dealy. I know a lot of you have blogs, (cus I read them, to the point of mental blog over-saturation) so what counters do you use?
In my search to find other SAHD's in this region of Southern California (South Bay - Beach Cities), I have had no luck. Therefore, this is an attempt to establish a SAHD group that can meet for afternoon outings at parks, beaches or other locations. Ideas and stories can be shared, children an explore there social skills and new friendship can be established. Once a network is developed, other extensive group organized events can be discussed.
Happy Father's day to all you out there in cyber land & a very special father's day to all of you very new dads
My partner and I brought our son home in September 2007, when he was just 3 1/2 months old. His adoption was final in April 2008. In May we celebrated his 1st birthday. Shortly thereafter, we submitted the paperwork to start the adoption process again! We plan to use the same agency, Adoption Connection. We also developed our own website (www.mikeandmichael.info) and adoption blog. We'll keep you posted on our progress!

Nothing to do in Fresno? Well, you might as well join us. We're the few, the proud, the brave, the rare work-at-home and stay-at-home dads here in scenic Fresno, California. We're dedicated, we're involved, we're proud to be dads, and we're looking to get out more. So come along!
We're also affiliated with the Fresno Dads Club, which allows any joinees here to interact with a larger dads' community. Whaddaya have to lose, save for all those hours at home? tws
Hi all --
Tim here, a work-at-home dad for just over three years now to my rambunctious and energetic one-and-only, my son Branwynn.
Hi,
I'm new to the site. I'm a work from home dad with two sons, Reid age 3 and Ben age 2. I live in Orange County and have a pretty fun weekly schedule for my boys. I'm hoping to get good information from this site.
A chance for dads of any stripe (married, single, divorced, stay-at-home, etc.) to get together, swap tall tales, have a chili cookoff at the park...anything, I guess. If another group already exists for the greater Sacramento region (from Auburn on over to West Sacramento), please let me know.
I am a part-time stay-at-home dad (Thursdays and Fridays). It seems to me that getting together 1-2 times per month at a park or playground or library shouldn't be too hard.
Pasadena Dads welcomes all Dads and their kids to our weekly playgroups. We meet at local parks in Pasadena and the surrounding communities in the San Gabriel valley. Please join us. We're nice guys!
Starting in February of 2008, we will also have a monthly Dads' night out in the Pasadena area.
Contact Jim at PasadenaDads@gmail.com if you have any questions.
