Two skills every parent should have at all times and they happen to start with the letter “P”. Passionate and patience are not always the easiest skills to do. If you don’t have these skills and you have kids then you are probably having a hard time being a parent.

I know I’m not patient with my kids all of the time and I’m trying to work on it every day. You have to be patient when you talk to your kids as well as patience when you correct them when they did something wrong. This way you are not correcting your kids out of anger and do something you regret doing.

Passionate is another skill I use with my kids all of the time. You will have a positive outcome with them when you are passionate to them. It is also a good trait to teach them.

When was the last time you show these traits when correcting your children? When was the last time you didn’t? Leave your answers in the comment section.

I had a hard time coming up with something to post for the letter “O”. So Busy Mom helped me out with this post. I have to give credit when it’s due, so get ready for a post about oranges and my family.

Oranges is a fruit my youngest daughter (L) loves eating. She loves oranges so much that she could be happy just eating them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if she could get away with it. My whole family likes oranges but not at the level my youngest daughter does. Right now I’m not sure if this is just a phase she is going through.

To make it interesting at my house is the fact my oldest daughter (M) loves bananas. So almost every morning we have the smell of oranges or bananas or even both in the kitchen. I’m so glad I like both fruits. The boys are willing to eat both fruits about really don’t have any preference on with one they like more.

On another note when Busy Mom (my wife) was pregnant with my second son (J), she had a craving for oranges all the time. It didn’t matter if it was the fruit or sometime that had a similar taste of an orange like orange slice candy. She was craving it. And yes I had to run out in the middle of the night during that time to get oranges at the grocery store in the middle of the night. That was the only time Busy Mom craved oranges.

I could talk about oranges more but due to me trying to keep my posts under 300 words for the challenge. I’ll add to this at a different time and post.

Now I’ll leave you a couple of questions to answer in the comments if you wish to. You don’t have to answer both but you could if you can. What was the most interesting or most bizarre thing your wife or you craved while pregnant?

The second question is if you had food that you could eat all of the time if you could, what is it and why? Is it your favorite or just a food you crave? Leave your comments about the post or the answers to the question below.

This weekend my family took time to have some fun during the nice weather we are having. We decide to have a Fun Day on Saturday and it flowed into Sunday for my oldest son (T).

It started out on Saturday when the kids went out to our backyard and played on the playground equipment. We have a slide and swing combo that sits out back of my house. They played on that for a while then we went to a normal park before we decided to go out shopping for supplies for the next week as well as letting my oldest spend some of his birthday money e received.

That made a long night since we didn’t get back home until late that night. Then on Sunday the three little ones played in the backyard again as my wife took my oldest to the movies to go see the new Captain America movie. They both liked it, but says that the movie was long. This was also after going to an Easter Egg Hunt and after going to church.

So the fun day became a Fun weekend and this will give you a glimpse of why I named my blog as the “Life of a Busy Dad”.

What does Eating Out and the Word “EWWWWW!” Have in Common? (A to Z Challenge)

Tom's Restaurant, NYC. from www.wikipedia.org

 

They are words I hear multiple times a day everyday from my kids.  If I had a dollar for every time they say them I would be rich.  OK maybe not rich, but I’m not joking on how many times I hear them.

My boys are in the phase of eating my wife and I out of a house.  They try to find out almost at every meal if we are eating out since they both love pizza from Happy Joe’s or from Pizza.

My girls favorite word is “EWWW!” even if it is not a word correctly used.  They use it if they don’t like food that we give them.  They really used it if they don’t like something they see.  Example is every time they see a couple kissing on television, they will say “EWWW!”.  It is sometimes down right funny when they use it.

My kids will start using different words and phrases as they get older and I will always have this to remind them of which words and phrases they used.

I am also sorry for having this post out late, but my weekends are the busiest time of the week.
