My wife and I have done a pretty good job of indoctrinating our son into the things that we enjoy; the Beatles; superheroes; star wars; rock and roll in general. Usually, after tubby time while my wife or I are putting the baby to bed, we allow my son to watch a cartoon of his choosing; takes … More From The Mouths of Babes
I’m going to try to keep this brief because I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone string together anything that remotely resembles anything clever. I have two kids. My son is three, which has its own set of challenges that I’ve mentioned at length. My daughter is almost 10 months old and she’s currently … More Ungh, Teething.

I’ve finished three, four-foot square cartoon versions of Bruce Timm-esque representations of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman respectively.
