Ben on April 24, 2015

I should have woken up earlier than I did today.  It was 6:30AM.  Then it was 7, then 7:09am, 7:18, almost 7:30 before I finally woke up.  I always check the TV news websites for the latest industry news and gossip before I get out of bed.

The best part of my day is when I see my son Ben as he's getting up and awake/  I get to pick him up, give him his sippy cup of milk, and give him lots and lots of kisses.  The hard part of being a dad is administering diaper changes and redirecting him.
My Ben didn't seem too interested in playing toys today.  I made him mad when I took away the mouse from Kelly's computer, butt-pasts tube, and when I redircted him from palces he didn't need to be.

I must suspend now as I must get Ben's lunch ready, watch/listen to "The Bold and The Beautiful", and taking a shower for my half-day at work later tonight.

I made some leftover pot roads for Ben.  He also got some yummy puffs as an appetizer.  At first, Ben was constantly coughing after and sometimes during his bites of lunch.
I thought I was doing the right thing by picking him up and patting him on the back.  I tried to put him back down in his high chair and boy did he pitch a fit.  So I put him down and ended his meal.

I know I'm the parent, and I have to be firm.  I have a heart too, but I have to be firm.  I know what it was like to be a kid once.

Ben ptched a fit after I took away his "toys" like my CBS46 water bottle, TV remote, right to sit near a filthy, filthy floor, and taking him away form the park in Acworth.

Today was the first time I ever took him to the park in Acworth.  I got to push him on the swing more thn 500 times, and we loved it.  Also, going to the park is a good way to meet other parents so that Kelly and I could meet other people.

I got to help feed Ben some warm dinner at first.  He rejected the pat roast again.  We went on to feed him pieces of turkey and cheese.  It got us through in a pinch.
