Well I’ve just migrated this site from Posterous to WordPress (self hosted).  I’m still in the process of tweaking the posts and other aspects of the site but for the most part, the content is in tact.  I also had a short lived blog called Flip Flop Dad which is now dead but most of the content from that blog is now here at Daddy’s Lil’ Squirt. Hope you like the new site.

Raising a son is awesome.  As a father, I get to bond in a way with my little boy that is beyond words many times.  But, every now and then I kind of have to question the games and/or antics I’m dragged into with my three year old son.  Like this morning… I wake up and head to the bathroom for the usual morning piss.  As I am taking my stance at the toilet I [...]

Let me set the scene:  It’s Saturday, it’s high noon, and the temperature is a solid 90 degrees Fahrenheit with tropical humidity. Despite this, my 3 year old son, Squirt, starts begging me to take him out to ride his bike which he just learned to ride without training wheels.  After a few minutes of his relentless begging I give in and tell him to put on his shirt and flip-flops (we are usually barefoot [...]

Saturday evening Squirt (age: 3) woke up from a nap and asked me to take the training wheels off of his bicycle.  I was dead tired from a little road trip we had taken that day but I said okay to his request and removed the training wheels from his bicycle despite the fact that I knew he couldn’t ride without them and he would ask me to put them back on in less that [...]

About 4:30 this morning I wake up to get a drink of water.  As I’m sipping my glass of refreshing, cold water I look up at my kitchen ceiling and see one of these uglies. Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider Aside from the usual gecko or army of ants we don’t usually get much critters inside the house.  I should also mention that I hate spiders, any one that knows me can attest to this fact.  [...]

I've never been much of a bookworm but now that I am a parent think reading would definitely be a good trait for Squirt to pick up.  I'm ashamed to say that in the three plus years since he was born I've hardly read anything to him.  However, for the benefit of my son, and I guess myself as well, reading 'books' is a habit I will have to pick up. Last night I read [...]

When my wife and I got together, within a few weeks she introduced me to her daughter, who was six years old at the time. I was happy to meet her but at the same time I did not grasp the gravity of the encounter. Little did I realize that I would one day hold this beautiful little girl as my own daughter and love her just a deeply. Actually, I didn’t come to realize [...]

I’ve been dad blogging for some time, I would say, but it’s only been relatively recently that I’ve begun connecting with other dads and moms online.  This connection has opened up worlds to me.  I really enjoy reading posts, tweets, status updates and seeing Twitpics from other dads and moms.  Most every one of the dads and moms I follow are from the U.S., I live in Belize which is in the Caribbean (in case [...]

It's just been one of those days when I don't have any energy to do anything today but despite this, my three year old son managed to make me laugh. It happened as he and I were driving to work today.  The radio was on and, as he sometimes does, he tries to sing along to the radio.  It's always really cute but I knew he would stop as soon as he saw me looking [...]
