On Wednesday evening and as I was thinking about finally getting ready to sit down; mainly to eat dinner, and enjoy some peace and quiet time, I reminisced about all the things I did that evening. I don’t want to brag about how awesome I am; I just did! And, I know my wife always…
The Sleeping Dad
I just finished a book by Arianna Huffington called The Sleep Revolution. Basically, we need more sleep without interruptions, technology, and sleeping pills. With better sleep, we are more productive. I have always been a great sleeper and almost everyday, I get 8 hours of sleep. Yes, when Niko was born, my sleep patterns were…
An Impromptu Date
Last Saturday around 5 pm, I noticed our air conditioning temperature in the house was getting warmer; so, not good when the temperature is probably going to be 100 degrees in the days ahead. And, throw in the fact that it was also a holiday weekend! We turned the system off and turned it back…
The Daddy Style – Part 2
I got a quick ANNOUCEMENT about www.thedadspeaks.com. I am starting to gather email addresses so I can email post notifications or updates to you. Please subscribe. Thank you. I will only sell your email address to Niko when he turns 18 years old! Slowly, I have been upgrading my wardrobe to nicer and more expensive clothes;…

What is he looking for?
Legs
While Niko plays in his room, I like to take pictures of him with the spy camera.
Baby, You Can Drive My Car
Free Time For The Wife
I have been planning on taking Niko out for an entire morning and bringing him back for nap for a few weeks; mainly so Nina could get some free quiet time alone in the house. She is home all day with him during the week and doesn’t get any quiet time at home and I…

Happy Mothers Day
If you ask me, everyday is MOTHERS DAY because my wife does a lot for our family and she only gets words of appreciation from me; and sometimes Niko as I am teaching to him to say thank you and I love you! Niko loves his momma, momma cuddles, momma milk, playful momma, eating partner…
Niko’s 2nd Birthday
On Wednesday, the day of his 2nd birthday, we went to the McKenna Children’s Museum in New Braunfels. Nina and Niko have been several times, but this would be my first and I was excited because everything is miniaturized for the little ones. Well, I was impressed with all the different activities Niko could participate…
Happy 2nd Birthday
I am proud that I can finally tell people; if they ask, that I have a 2 year old son at home. It’s a lot of work and the past few weeks have been some of the hardest since he was born. Mainly because potty training started and when he eats, he throws food. Unlike…
The Dad Tweets
Hey, I am back from my non spiritual journey to nowhere and am relaxed, refreshed, and even a year wiser. I have decided to publish one new daddy blog per week and that day is going to be Sunday. But, if I have something new to say and it’s not Sunday, I will publish it….
Thoughts upon purchasing the Moana soundtrack
Moana doesn’t actually sing very much. Niko likes it best when Moana sings. Moana is so earnest I want to gag. He won’t let me sing along. He doesn’t like my favorite song. Perhaps he’s distressed Mama identifies more with the crab than the heroine. Every time I hear the “You’re Welcome” song I think…
A Spiritual Non Journey
THIS ISN’T AN APRIL FOOLS DAY POST. I have decided to give my brain some time off from writing; it includes this website, and enjoy a spiritual journey to nowhere. I am also planning on getting back on the healthy path; I have put on a few pounds, eaten bad, and not doing as…
Nothing – Part 2
Last Sunday, while Niko and Nina napped, I did absolutely nothing; actually, I did 15 minutes worth of work and by work, I mean publishing and promoting my most recent daddy blog, and it was wonderful and quiet. I really think I need to do that more often because it’s a lot of hard and…
Potty Training
Well, it’s been 15 days since we started potty training and Niko is doing great; pees have been very successful and only a few times has he had an accident; he gets so excited afterward that he picks up the potty to hand to us. A few days ago, he did that and the potty…
Marketing 101
MY BOOK IS ON SALE. BUY IT, READ IT, REVIEW IT, AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT. I love writing and sharing my thoughts with you and cherish what little opportunities I get to do it. One of the biggest challenges I constantly face is getting people to actually read and comment on my stories…
Just Do It
These days, it’s very unusual for Niko to cry and/or scream in the middle of the night. When it does happen, the audio monitor in our bedroom beeps. It wakes me up from my dreams and even though I still may be half asleep, I am alert enough to get my phone and look at…
