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.

Baby’s First Birthday

Real Dad Blog Version: This dad’s baby boy turns one! This is a dad rambling about his son’s birthday and first year as a baby boy.

Our son, Rylan, turned the big one yesterday. We threw him a little party that involved a lot of his family and friends. The day flew by like a blur because we were hosting a lot of people. At least we have pictures of the memories of the big day of our first child turning one.

His birthday involved eating of sloppy joes (easy to make for a lot of people) and a lot of other food. Then came the birthday cake. The fun part of the birthday party! I was thinking he was going to make a bigger mess than he did. He sure enjoyed the cake.

If you are a dad and have never experienced your child having a really sugary substance for the first time, just get ready for a child that will not sleep. That was our son! He had energy like he never had before after he ate his birthday cake. Watch out!

Our son’s first year flew by. I cannot believe he is already one. This has been the most rewarding year of my life. One year as a dad is beyond words. Being a dad or a new dad is the best job in the world!

A special thanks goes out to our baby boy’s mom for helping make being a dad the best job in the world.
