Upcoming Q&A and a clips post

Remember that time I gave my PR policy? Well I got a couple emails since and sent out invoices but have received nothing so emails go unread.

But I received one from the folks at Gilt Children and since they have tweeted back and forth with me in the past I waived the $10 fee.

Additionally on this Tuesday the 26th of April at 8pm EST I'll be doing a Q&A on the Facebook page. It will be focused on dads getting a say in room style, maybe a little montessori stuff if people ask and anything else people want to ask me about my style of dad-ness.

If you want to join the Like Gilt Children on Facebook and show up on their page at 8pm EST on the 26th. If you know me in real life or follow me on twitter you know this is kind of huge because I hate Facebook.

And that all leads me to my clips show portion of this post. If you're new to the site because of the Gilt thing here is a really horrible summary of this blog.

You should start with my first clips post that will bring you up to speed on me going form a dude who was completely scared of kids to a dad of a then 3 week old kid.

I'm happy to say that while I feel completely comfortable around Miloh I'm still freaked out by a lot of kids especially when they are in packs.

Another thing you should know, especially because the Gilt thing is a bit about style, is that we had Miloh on a floor bed and never a crib... It's a montessori thing.

I say had because here's some breaking news that's a bit old... So I guess it's broken news... About 2 weeks ago Miloh got a real toddler bed. I should probably right about it a bit to sum up the floor bed and I will... But the gist is he was loving his cot in toddler school so we thought we'd try him on a bed... And he likes it.

You should know that in the time Miloh was on the bed he never had a stray roach fall on his head. Honestly I can't explain that comment without getting long winded so just read that post.

We took a tally of a lot of things during Miloh's first year and they ended up in some infographics... Still a couple more to go.

And I had some Weekly Wisdom for Miloh in the past but I've given him all the wisdom I have so that's on hiatus for a bit.

So that's a summary... And while it has nothing to do with me really please check this post about Megabolt and their great sketchbook project for kids in hospitals.

  1. I really wish you lived closer. I have a toddler bed that's ready to be donated. Sigh. So cool that he's liking it though.

  2. I think about your floor bed all the time and think about what a great idea it would be. My now one year old sleeps in our bed but I feel like if I could lay with her in her crib she would stay there longer. Of course we'd have to make some safety adjustments in her room but still I think this would have solved a lot of our sleep problems.

New Giveaway: ABC's for Expectant Dads - 10 awesome copies

Winners have been picked for the giveaway. Todd was so nice as to give all who entered by the deadline a copy of his book. Thanks all who entered...I sent an email to you for your info. Please email me (info on the header) if you don't get that email. Rommel I could not find your email...please let me know your contact info. A bit ago I found Todd Lieman in Twitterland and he sent me a copy of his book ABC's for Expectant Dads: The Ultimate A- for Dads-in-Training. I'd looked at a bunch of expectant dad books and I thought most were terrible. I did pick up The Expectant Father and I liked it but I haven't looked at it in months. I think it's tough for dad's because we're just reading about what's going on with the mothers and it's easier to hear it from them. Staci is reading so much that she keeps me up to date on things I should know and I'm sure most expectant moms are the same. I'm also luckily in that doing this blog has connected

The Cat in the Hat Knows Pretty Much Nothing About That

I find myself saying it a lot but we don't let Miloh watch a lot of TV... Mostly because it goes a bit against Montessori at home (although we're pretty reform with that) and also because we, read I, watch too much and we don't want Miloh in the habit. On the list of things he does watch is The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That. Netflix is our friend in the mornings so he will get a bit of that or Sesame Street while the person who's on duty that AM tries to actually wake up. And Miloh truly loves the show. He calls it hat and pats his head. He let's us know that there's a fish on screen every time the fish comes on screen, he dances and says "Go, go, go" when they sing that song. Unfortunately since we really only watch on Netflix we've only seen eight episodes... But this gives me time to really think about the show. Here are some problems with it: The Cat in the Hat actually really knows almost nothing about everything. He does

Dear Scott the Paleontologist – the response... Wait sorry... the awesome response

In my last post I asked some incredibly pressing questions to Dr. Scott Sampson aka Scott the Paleontologist. Questions that any parent of a Dinosaur Train fan wants to know... I got a reply and I have to say Dr. Scott is hilarious and pretty awesome... But I'm a fan of science humor... So here are his responses in line with mine. They're in blue because that's the color of most of  Shiny Pteranodon. Dear Scott the Paleontologist, My son Miloh and I are fans of Dinosaur Train and as an avid fan I have some questions regarding it that I hope you can answer: The train is a steam engine. Does it run off coal? If it does use coal is there a possibility that greenhouse gases from that could have lead to the extinction of dinosaurs? How come this isn't a theory? Very interesting question. Yes, to the best of my knowledge, the Dinosaur Train runs on fossil fuels, but we actually do have an episode upcoming where we investigate alternative fuel trains. Given that
