a little more about me

well, is a little more about the diaperchangindad. i am 32 years old this year. i am a father to 3 wonderful children, 2 boys and 1 girl. their nick names are ninja monkey because is is super quiet when enter our room, the silent money because he doesn't talk much but shows all his emotions in his face, and the bug for no other reason than just cause.

you know i am not an expert when it comes to parenting and anyone that claims they , well wow i'd like to introduce them to ninja monkey, but i have learned somethings. for instance, i know its hard sometimes, but never argue in front of your children. they see it and no matter how yound they are it hurts them. even just playing around with an arguement can hurt little ones because they can't distinguish between real and fake. so any yelling and screaming and talking in a loud voice, do quieter or in a room a couple of rooms away.

kids are pretty smart and feed on the emoitions that you are putting out, so what i try to do is be calm. i figure once a fight or arguemnet is over, its over. win or lose, walk out of the room calm, like you won so the kiddos don't pick up on your emoitions. its not good if your goods see you fuming when you leave the room and fuming when you get back.

now, some tips on how to keep the place clean. if your kids are anything like mine they have their favorite toys and the ones they play with every once in a while. here's what i do. i have 2 toy boxes, 1 for what they play with all the time and 1 for toys that they play with sometimes. so instead of going through the big toy box and pulling out toys they don't like and leaving them til the end of the day, or putting them back and cutting into playtime, they go through a little one and find what they are looking for. it also helps you to not get frustated at having to pick up all toys not played with. another thing this does is help you to figure out what toys you can get rid of. if at the end of a month or two you see a toy that hasn't been played with, get rid of it b/c your kids don't really care for it.

net hammocks are great for getting all of those stuffed animals that your children get every holiday off the floor and out of the toy box. you know and i know that they are annoying (stuffed animals) but you and i also know that your kids love them. they never play with them but try to give them away and your kids go bonkers. so put them in the air, space you rarely use anyway. remember, your kids are precious so treat them as such. cherish their sweet innocence b/c you can't get this time back.
