No, you have it all wrong. Do you see how many dads are popping in here with their childrens likes? Boasting? Proud? Annoyed at the constant mind numbing tv that our little ones zone into (but secretly proud)?


I spent this weekend at home with the family, no skiing even with all this new snow. I spent it watching mostly cartoons with my wife and daughter for 2 days straight, relaxing, enjoying time with my girls.

I think there is a princess gene. It is "programmed" to mutate at age 3.5. It may turn off later in life, but there's no getting around it for a while. We were determined to raise a tomboy but so far she's in love with anything that's purple and glittery.

Taylor is only 14 months, but she knows what she likes and she does like to "dance". It is pretty cool.


[proud father, can you tell?]

That gene must right up there with the truck/train/airplane gene my son has. He started pointing at those things well before we introduced any toys like that at home.

The "new" new Scooby Doo movies aren't bad. They're done in the same style as the original series (i.e. no Scrappy) and they even use the same actor's voices (like Casey Kasem for Shaggy). I blubbered about all this to our backcountry guide while skinning in the North Cascades last week if that tells you how immersed I am.

My wife actually bought a princess dress that daughter wears around ALL the time now. I think there is a gene as well, it just exploded with her all of a sudden. We read the Cinderella book at night and make up our own words. And then she went to a good college, got a great job and her husband made dinner for her every night.

Kids are the shit!
I have some pics of my kids dancing at the Deadwood Jam in S. Dakota from last fall I try and find.
Funny how at 4 yrs my son can tell the difference between Big Head Todd, 311, Coldplay, Pepper, Led Zeppelin.

Proud dads we are...

My daughter likes Michael Franti Everyone Deserves Music. Play the music song daddy and then dances like crazy. Yeah honey, when Daddy heard this live he was baked out of his gourd.

I'm hardly a girly-girl and have never been one--I picked up worms on the sidewalk and threw them back in the grass-- but I love purple/glittery things.

And what's with the hip wiggle? My girl (barely 5) practices flirting in the mirror, and is always 'shakin her booty'. Where do they see this? (all right guilty of shakin my boo-tay.. but not the hip wiggles).

But she does know all the right buttons to push..."Daddy, I just love skiing soooo much, why can't it be winter all the time?" Tears. Sniff.

What, no Rocket Power?

"We are riders, on a major, action kids in fun position, prepare for countdown..."

PINGU !! ( my favorite)

My Little pony

But my 1 year old's favorite has to be Dora and Diego.

Don't forget the Teletubbies.


There is too much to list, and with 7 or 8 channels of kids stuff I will only let my kids, 1, 5, 7, watch about 20% of it because the rest of it is crap.

But they can watch fueltv or golf or soccer.
