Alpha and Omega

November 22, 2010September 20, 2010 by Vincent Daly

At first I thought I had possibly hit the wall. That my tolerance for watching animated films had reached the tipping point. But then I glanced over at my 4 year old son. At a mere 35 minutes into the film, his attention had shifted from the action unfolding on the screen to folding and unfolding his chair. Not even the draw of 3D could compel him to remain seated. In essence, we collectively lost interest in a howlingly bad animated film called “Alpha and Omega” released by Lions Gate Family Entertainment and Crest Animation Productions.

Without question, she has a song in her heart.

Eating Lunch Outside

May 27, 2014September 13, 2010 by Vincent Daly

It was a simple idea really. Eating outside with my 4 year old son. Nature’s very own showcase dazzling our senses by means of fresh air, vibrant colors, rich sounds, a chance meeting with a lady bug, and an industrious ant carrying a leaf 3 times its size.

Tricycle to Bicycle

As he raced down the sidewalk furiously pedaling away on his two wheeled steed, the adjacent grass rippled in his wake. He beamed with confidence evident by a smile that seemed to light up the path outstretched before him. Intoxicated by speed, the boy seemed determined to take flight. Little did he realize he’d get his wish.

Comic Book Literacy

My Spidey Sense had been tingling all night. Suddenly I leapt backward completing a humanly impossible acrobatic feat while landing hard against the wall. The floor where I last stood had been crushed to rubble. Slightly stunned from the impact, my eyes burned from the dust filled smoke as I attempted to get a glance at my attacker. “Focus Spidey.” I could barely make out his silhouette. “No, it can’t be. He was supposed to be dead.”

Fatherhood Involvement PSA

November 9, 2010August 15, 2010 by Vincent Daly

I recently watched a comedic public service announcement from the Ad Council focused on fatherhood. Being that I have a daughter, the message resonated with me. It also made me realize I’ll need to stay in shape and work on my dance moves. Enjoy the video below.

Poll: Do Work at home Dads Clean?

August 11, 2010 by Vincent Daly

In my extremely unscientific observation via Twitter, I’ve found that many Work-at-home-Moms find themselves busy enough to justify the hiring of help to keep their homes clean. Yet surprisingly, most Work-at-home-Dads do not have the luxury of hired help. In fact, it’s frowned upon by their significant others. Could this be a double standard? Are men just too proud to admit they need a helping hand? I need some raw data to get a handle on this question.

Try Not to Blink

November 22, 2010August 9, 2010 by Vincent Daly

We walked past a few pretty flowers today. My nearly two year old daughter gleefully determined the size, shape and color of this floral display. I smiled in amazement of how quickly she’d developed this perception from just a month ago. The visual connections were evident to her before but now she could verbalize them. This captivation with nature quickly gave way to a desire to run. Her curly blonde hair bounced in tandem with a playful gallop. My daughter’s passage from baby to toddler had arrived.
