Communicating With Santa
Babito: I don't WANT to go see Santa Claus!!!
Me: How are you going to tell Santa Claus what you want for Christmas if you won't go meet him?
Babito: I'll yell at him when he goes by in the parade. (cupping his hands) SANTA, I WANT DRUMS!!!
Me: What if he doesn't hear you?
Babito: He will. I'm going to yell really loud!
An Amazing Story
Yesterday we went to Disneyland. We left around 7:30. I put Babito in his car seat and we drove off.
When we got about halfway home I reached on top of my head and realized that my sunglasses weren’t in their normal spot. I asked my wife if she was sitting on them, because when I’m by myself I usually throw them on the passenger seat. They weren’t there.
Then I remembered...

Halloween
So, Halloween wasn’t the best night of Babito’s life. He was raring to go as he put on his Peter Pan costume, but that’s when fate struck.
The first kids to come to the door had very scary costumes on and Babito freaked. He screamed in fear, and that was that. He did NOT want to go trick or treat and he didn’t want to go to the door when other trick-or-treaters came....

Christmas Decorations
I plan on getting a little crazy with the Christmas decorations this year! I’m going to go all Clark Griswold on our house, but in a very classy way, of course!
Eagles & Storms
deeptibella:
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift...

Priorities: Just Turn It Off
Scene - At Carl's Jr with Babito, me typing on my blackberry
Babito: Daddy, talk to ME.
Me: One second, Honey.
Babito: Put that thing away. Let’s talk.
Me: Ok, I’m ready to talk to you now.
Babito: Just turn it off, Daddy
I’m going to try again to figure this whole Tumblr thing out. And I’m going to put a little more effort into it this time!
