Hello there to visitors from 5 Minutes For Mom. Three things about me:
I'm a stay-at-home Dad to a 6-year old and 3-year old. They keep telling me: "Daddy, I don't like you. I love you."
I have a loving wife (and I love her with all my heart). She bought me a golf set as a birthday gift—and it's still a month away from my birthday.
I use conditioner after I shampoo. The thing is, I'm bald.

Hey, great to meet you! I think using conditioner is o.k. if you're bald. Now, using gel and hairspay might be a bit much if you don't have hair, but conditioner will soften the skin, right!! Haha!
Nice to meet you. Love the things that your kids say, especially the one about being nice and only pretending to be naughty! Enjoy the Blog Party.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for stopping by my place for the UBP. I'm glad you did because now I can add you to my list of places to visit regularly. I loved your post about milestones (although my 20 month hasn't really reached any of yours) but I'm looking forward to when he does.
Your kids seem to have some very cute things to say. They must get their sense of humor from you.
Anyway, it's nice "meeting" you and I'll be back to visit soon.

Hi. Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to meet you. My husband is bald too and he uses shampoo on his head, but not conditioner. I love to write too. I think it's wonderful that you have such a great relationship with your wife and your kids enjoy you staying home to take good care of them.
Posted by: Nadine | March 22, 2009 at 08:38 PM
What a great job you have- being a stay at home dad- my husband and I have taken turns at staying home with the kids-He did it while I worked full time- and now its my turn to stay home! I love your blog :O) I'll be back to visit.
