Formerly an American teaching ESL in Korea, I've completed 3 contracts, lots of Hapkido, and wifed up in a foreign land. After moving back to N.Y w/ my wife, getting my masters and a teaching job, I'm breaking my 6 year hiatus in posting after a little bit of inspiration; the birth of my Son, Leon. I started this as a 20-something year old adventurer and am coming back as a 30-something year old teacher, currently learning the ins and outs of fatherhood. Welcome to the Cinder Block Diaries.

Dude, where's my car?
If you think you car was stolen for about 10 minutes after work, don't panic. Call your wife. You're probably baby tired and forgot that you took her car.

Baby beats
It's really hard to take your son's crying seriously when he is farting at the same time...in rhythm.

Full Proof Plan...most of the time.
Could have sworn I had a fool proo system.
My plan:
Wait 5 minutes after a fart before changing him. Gives him time to work the rest out so we don't waste diapers or effort. It's brilliant really. So after a large wet one, we listen to him grunting and squeezing so loud you can hear him in the next room, for at least 5 minutes. Gotta listen closely too in case you miss a fart. If there is a fart, reset the clock.
Well, that doesn't always work. Changed his diaper, and luckily I got the other one on before a massive explosion. Not a bad success rate though. Perhaps make it 10 minutes next time?

Everybody poops
When people tell you baby poop doesn't smell until they start eating solid foods....they're lying to you. It smells. Good news is, you don't care. As a former guidance counselor and community center director wrote...You eagerly await it. When it happens it means their digestive tract works.

If you hold your infant at a decline...yes even a slight one...if he decides to pee....it's getting all over you.

Babies don't speak english. They also don't take visual cues. Sneezing WILL scare the shit out of them.
