Challenged--100 Words

Challenged.

Some days are extremely challenging.

Some days are just mind-numbing challenging!

I seldom know as I roll out of bed which kind of day it will be.

The calendar doesn’t always give a clue.

Will work challenge me? Or, will work really be a challenge?

Will traffic challenge me?

Will raising my son be a challenge? What day raising him isn’t a challenge?

Will I be challenged by those around me?

I’ve learned, well, I’m learning to go more with the flow.

I wish I were a pro at it. I wish I didn’t stress over challenges.

Maybe soon.

Does A Father Ever Know Best?

What do you do with a little boy who will be 9-months old tomorrow? I suppose handcuffs might work. Maybe a straight jacket. Maybe some medicines would be helpful.

Evan is very active! Evan enjoys life and playing and having fun. He especially enjoys playing in the kitchen. I'm not sure why, but he does. The problem with that is that the kitchen is just a little too dangerous for him, even if we have childproofed it. Plus, I can't always see him when he crawls behind the couch into the kitchen.

So, Friday afternoon, I came up with a temporary solution for dealing with Mr. Evan's adventures!



Kind of sad, isn't it? I'm a grown man. I have more than one degree. I'm usually a pretty smart guy. Yet, at 9-months, Evan has just about defeated me already!

And in case you are wondering, my temporary solution only worked for about 5 minutes. After that, he found a way around it!

And then the chase was on again!
