Primo Papa Play Of The Week

Phillies fan Steve Monforto has made the Primo Papa Play Of The Week. The moment he had with his little girl Emily after she threw back the foul ball he caught is priceless. The video and quote highlight his readiness for the big leagues of parenthood. Way to go Steve!

"I think she was startled by the reaction of the fans around us — there was a collective gasp," said Monforto. "She was also startled by the look on my face. I just wanted to let her know it was OK — that she didn't do anything wrong." - Steve Monforto

3rd of Sept., A day I'll always remember

No need to be alarmed my dad is fine. I was doing some research for a future post and stumbled upon a video of the Temptations performing "Papa Was A Rolling Stone". Considering that the opening line is "It was the 3rd of September, a day I'll always remember. Cause that was the day my daddy die." and today is the 3rd of September, I couldn't resist.

I have started typing and started again, but every time my entry comes off way too preachy. So I will just say this:

• Live what you want honest people to say about you to your kids when you are gone.
  
• Make a will / living trust, and have proper life insurance.
• Take every opportunity large and small to create lasting memories with your kids.
  

Thanks dad, for being a cornerstone instead of a rolling stone.

Tub Talk with Grandma

Last night was full of great bath time with my son, and I didn't even have to get splashed. My mother-in-law was over and he requested her for assistance with his evening scrub. He always has a few antics he likes to pull when grandma does bath time but last night was a classic.

Self-explanatory

During his final rinse before getting out, my son introduced Nanna to his new topic of conversation when he is in the tub. Full of pride and with a big grin he proclaimed, "Nana, I have a beautiful penis!" Long pause from Nana. Nana didn't have any boys of her own, so this fascination with the human physique is new to her. In a valiant effort to normalize the conversation she replied, "Yes you do have a beautiful penis, and beautiful toes, your eyes are beautiful, you have beautiful ears, and....." this went on for about five more body parts. To which he replied, "I like my penis." That was the end of bath time. I was able to enjoy the entire exchange from the comfort of my couch. While the price of admission is high, having kids is the greatest show on earth!
