Fatherhood Chronicles: Part 4 -Bath Time-

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...

Fatherhood Chronicles: Part 1

My 14 day -Mr. Dad- began at dusk today. While Elizabeth begins her life back at work I am tasked with staying home with Rocco. 4am rolled around and I was awaken by the slight roar of a child in need of a change and food. Preparing a bottle is a lot like a pit crew In NASCAR. If I don’t work fast enough I will lose the race. Good thing for me, this race will last at least 18yrs and I don’t want to disappoint him already.  After the bottle it was back down for hopefully 4 more hours of sleep. I was able to get 3. I will take it.  As Elizabeth kissed us goodbye I knew the next 9 hours would be won in the trenches. The trenches today consisted of entertainment. I laid out the ground work for a fun filled day of play chair to play mat. I also Sprinkled in a little tummy time and a nap. I knew if the game plan was kept this would be a victory for me.  Rocco and I bounced around and when all the routines were done......it was 1230p....... I discovered a high pitch...
