To pass on some of the knowledge I've learnt the hard way before I forget it all. To share a few laughs. To give myself a sense of achievement. An achievement. Yes, I know that I frequently reassure you elsewhere in this website t...

The Housedad's Handbook: The Early Days
http://www.housedadshandbook.dadsdinner.com/p/the-early-days.html
Sprog1 took his time being born and eventually had to be yanked out by the head. Then he had to be whisked away for some lung suction and a quick pee on the midwife. Finally I got handed a little boy wrapped in a towel. I looked at him. He looked at me. We both thought, 'Oh flip, now what? Imagine if it screamed every time you left it alone for five minutes or started to smell if you didn't knock out a quick tune every hour or so. You'd pretty soon at least look like you knew what you were doing. Bob and...

http://www.kidscuddlesandcaffeine.dadsdinner.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Kids, Cuddles and Caffeine Extract. Its been a while since Ive written properly. I suppose its over three years now. I have enjoyed reading your Christmas newsletters, though. Im looking over them again now. I cant believe Sams going to be at secondary next year! Daisy looks both scarily small and all-grown-up in her school uniform. Wow!
