Fatherhood Chronicles: Part 4 -Bath Time-



https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1WCBlaWquKgKQRH_7iKYkvrzbjxAp48yc
Today was BATH DAY! (that’s how excited I have to get when I am talking to Rocco regarding Bath Time).
Usually Bath Time is around 7. Then he enjoys a delicious bottle. Then it’s bedtime. Today Rocco had other plans for me. At around d 3p Rocco starts crying as he awoke from his slumber. I picked him up and started to change him. Rocco is laying on the changing table, he looks up at me, gives me that Infamous smirk, and starts to pee. Everywhere. All over himself, the wall, the changing table, and me. This incident probably lasted about 5-6 seconds but as it was happening it felt like forever. You know In Action movies when a sidekick dives in front of a bullet or an object that is heading right towards their friend? That is what it felt like for me when I was trying to protect Roccos face from his incoming pee. 
After that fun filled diaper change I decide Bath Time would be now. 
In our loft we do not have a bathtub. We use a baby tub that sits in the sink. It’s actually pretty convenient.     Rocco loves Bath Time. It calms him down. As he gets older though his attention span is dwindling and he needs to be entertained. Toys are not an option at this point. We practice grip strength, reaching for things, but besides that it’s pretty limited. We sing and play with the bubbles. Rocco stairs at me like I am certified insane. The tough part is getting his back and bum while trying to keep myself dry. That does not happen. 
Today was a calm and relaxing day compared to others. I am sorry I didn’t have a melt down to tell you about, yet. “May the odds be ever in -my- favor”
With today that brings the score even after 4.

Rocco - 2
Brandon - 2

BREAKING: Allen vs Mahomes - By: Brandon Siclari / Sports

Here it is! What we have all been waiting for, Patrick vs Josh. 15 vs 17. Chiefs vs. Bills. We have our match-up, Allen v Mahomes. . . . .In a competition to see who can throw the ball farther. . . . . . Yesterday on Barstool Radio Josh Allen challenged Kermit, I mean Mahomes to see who can throw the ball farther. Last year Mohomes stated " I've seen these things with Josh, but I'm going to say I believe I have the stronger arm. I've never seen anyone throw harder than me with the football, Until I see it in person, I believe I have the stronger arm." Here is my quick take on this. Allen has a video throwing the ball 77 yards, Mahomes claims at his pro day he threw it "like 80 if it was windy, but I didn't throw it as good as I could have. . . " Mahomes sounds like that kid that claims he is an amazing Ice Hockey player then you get him out there and he starts blaming the skates or the stick was tapped wrong. I'm not saying he doesn

Music City Miracle 2 -Titans Cheat again /// By: Siclari

What a sad fan base that a twitter poll means this much to them. . . My plan was to go over the disturbing Game Of Thrones poster for the up coming series final on April 14th.  If this poster is foreshadowing anything its complete destruction. I CANT WAIT!!! Now onto something I had no idea I was going to talk about or even think about again, a sad sad fan base, the Tennessee Titans. When Fox Sports came out with a bracket for best NFL fan base I knew the Buffalo Bills would do well. It means nothing but it was fun to pay attention to and see how they fared. Bills beat out, in my opinion, some of the best fan bases in the NFL to get to the final four. Seattle, Green Bay, and Saints. When I saw we would be going up against the Titans I easily chalked this up as a win. When the voting was over I checked Twitter and we lost. I was surprised seeing when I first checked Bills were up around 70% to 30% and didn't think Titans had enough fans to make up that difference. In a way I

Stay Safe. Stay Sane. - Siclari

A photo of me looking to go out on a Friday night during COVID-19. We're all this guy right now. First off. I hope everyone is doing well during these times. Not only with staying safe, but staying sane. My family is doing really well at the staying safe part.  Its the sane part that I am struggling with. 2020. You started out so well. Seven days in you gave me my son Rocco and things were looking upward. Then it all went to shit. Not with Rocco just with everything that is going on. Instead of taking Rocco out in to the world we are showing him around our 1200sq foot loft with no yard and only 3 small windows that will open. COVID-19 has taken over 2020. Lets go back to Jan, the last time you heard from me. I can let everyone know that Brandon Siclari has kept a human being alive and well for 3 months now. Whoever bet under 3 months, I will be awaiting your apology. Social Distancing has gone OK for me. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not one of these &q
