Dad’s Job of Putting Toys Together

October 30th, 2009

Real Dad Blog Version:  This dad is getting ready for the future life of putting toys together.

Tonight we bought our son a larger toy box than we had before. We were in desperate need of a toy box for all the new toys he has received in the last few weeks.  One year olds have a lot of toys!

We bought him a Winnie the Pooh toy box from Toys R Us.  I was all ready to put the toy box together.  I pulled out the directions to take look at how easy it was to complete.  Unfortunately the directions were the worst directions I have ever seen.  Instead of it taking 20 minutes to put together as any man would think, it took me a little less than an hour.

With my son’s birthday a couple of weeks ago, I am starting to realize what my dad went through with six kids.  I am seeing the joys and frustrations of putting toys and other kids things together.  The toys Rylan has received have been very easy to put together.  Now his toy box was more of a chore than it should have been.

I have realized this is just a warm up for the years to come.  As more children come, I will be putting even more difficult things together than a toy box. I love the learning experiences I am getting as a new dad.

Dad Farts

Dad Farts

Dad Farts

Real Dad Blog Version:   Dad farts!  I do not think I need to go into any more detail.

We all know that our dad farts are smelly and disgusting to our wives. We also know that our wives do not fart.  As my older brother would say, all women play the air guitar. A nicer way to put it is they “drop roses.”  We could take the lovely smell in for hours at a time if it is our own.  If it is someone else’s fart, we may keel over and die.  Farts are a very serious matter as they can be both fun and disgusting.   When it comes to babies though, it is a laughing matter.

It all happened about a month ago when our son was about 11 months old.  I had a bowl of chili so my gas was primed and ready for some noise action.  The pressure was building up in my lower abdominal region.  The pressure got so great I had to let it go.  I let out rip roaring fart. My wife game a look of disgust while my son started laughing his head off.  He looked at me with tears in his eyes because he laughed so hard. It was a look of dad; you are the coolest for farting like real man.  I gave him a look back like I was proud of that one.   I also could tell he felt I scored one for the team by grossing his mom out.

Ever since that day our son will laugh if anyone farts.  He even laughs at his own loud gas bubbles.  What makes it a game is when he hears the flatulent sound he makes the fart sound with his tongue and then laughs and laughs.  It is unbelievable that he picked up the corresponding sound of his tongue and real farts.   I am glad I have a smart boy on my hands.  He is on his way to becoming a real man by enjoying farts as well as making similar sounds that correlate to his butt and mouth.   He’ll just have to learn in the future that when he gets married, it is better to hold it in instead of grossing out the wife.
