Bonding

Forcing my kid to bond with her Grandmother from Ohio by actively avoiding Molly-Daddy interaction is difficult, but well worth it :)

Over the last month-and-a-half or so, I've come to realize that I'm... Different. From 98% of all other parents I know. MOST parents I know are regular adult human beings who crave "Me Time" and NEED somebody to takeover watching The Kid/Kids at least once a week so they can unwind, or get stuff done, or go shopping, or whatever.

Me, I LOVE taking Molly places and doing stuff with her! I build my entire day, every day, around what she wants to do :) Unfortunately, this doesn't lead to a lot of "Social" time for her. She prefers deserted playgrounds over active ones full of kids. She'd rather stay here and ride her bike with me than go to a Playland.

I worry that this is just me projecting my own anti-social tendencies on her, or if she's really that much of a loner. I try to give her all the options for a day... offer her lots of social trips like active parks and such... but she always chooses intimate "Daddy Molly" activities.

And I think I might like those Molly-Daddy activities too much for her own good :(

Awesome Stuff

Crystal and I went to a few Garage Sales today, got some majorly awesome things:

• Dragonlance Board Game (1983)
• Huge stack of Twilight Zone Magazines from the early 80's
• 1970's Mad Magazines
• 1970's UFO Hunter Magazines
• 1970's "Eerie" and "Famous Monsters of Movieland" magazines
• Enough KCTS9 Red Dwarf Marathon T-Shirts to make it look like Crystal and I have been supporting our local PBS Station since 1992
• An old-skool Meat Grinder

It's YOUR job to determine which one of those items doesn't belong! GOOD LUCK!
