Future Daddy or Other Kid?

Lei always said she's now going to have two kids around our place when we have our first child. Was she trying to tell me something here when she snuck up on me and did this? By the way, when DID she do this?

The moral of this story: never fall asleep around a wide awake soon-to-be-momma.

Just How Much Does Home Daycare Cost?

My cousin recently told me that she was interviewing preschools for her still unborn son. She found two that she and her husband liked and agreed to be put on the waiting list ... for a few years!

Hearing this I was inspired to research home daycare costs out of curiosity.

It's a bit difficult to get a nationwide average for home daycare costs. Some providers charge a little, especially if they're close friends or neighbors, but some may charge as much as daycare centers or more.

According to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), home daycare averages $474 a month for preschoolers and $525 a month for infants and toddlers — or about $5,689 to $6,301 per year (less in rural areas, more in big cities).

Wowsers, maybe it's time for me to start thinking about telecommuting and opening up what Ed-deeeee did in one of his movies. A movie that is hitting home with me now.

My Own Little Army

One day I'm hoping to build my own army of little ninjas .... just kidding honey.... maybe. Ok, maybe only a little army of mini ninjas. One down and [insert number here] to go.

My wife may not want to have too many since this looks like a rough group I used to run with.
