A little over two years ago, my oldest daughter decided that she wanted to play Soccer. We found a local community league and got her signed up. She was very timid through most of the season but scored her first goal during the last game. From the moment she scored that goal, her confidence soared and she became a little monster on the field.

I like to lie to my daughter… I realize that you probably see that as a rather bold statement and probably think I’m a bit of an asshole at this point. I should probably clarify.

We’re closing in on the six month mark and have decided that we want to give breastfeeding another shot. It didn’t go very well with our daughter and we wound …
About four years ago, my wife and I decided that we wanted to have a child. We did all the things that you’re supposed to do when getting ready for pregnancy (pre-natal vitamins, plenty of practice, etc) and were pregnant a short time later.
