This is a blog that I wrote in dad-blogs.com...enjoy!
I should start off by saying that I'm an old dad. 40 years old and my boys are 4 and 2. So I guess I'm a little behind the power curve.
But as any dad has to do, old or young, I just forge ahead with my parenting skills, such as I know them to be. And I learn something every day.
I have learned many things about my boys...
While I can talk to pretty much anybody, it takes a lot of skill and quick thinking to talk to my boys.
My boys are artful negotiators. The more they scream, cry, and generally cause my hearing loss to advance, the more I give in to their demands.
My boys are sponges when it comes to details. They can tell me anything and everything about every Disney/Barney/Sesame Street/etc. show they have ever seen, even if was only once. But I still can't figure out why they can't recall who punched the other one first.
My boys move at speeds which I never believed could be achieved by human beings. I swear I have seen smoke trails as they pass by.
My boys cannot and will not submit to anything that wasn't their idea in the first place, unless snacks, toys, and the surrender of cash thereto is involved.
Any item that could potentially be shared between the boys...won't be. Ever. Don't even go there.
The decibel level achieved by my 2-year-old rivals that of a heavy metal concert. I think the 2-year-old would win.
But when you have had it up to here with the kids, and at bedtime as you tuck them in they whisper, "I love you Daddy"...my heart melts like a snowball in August. You forget that it starts all over again at dawn!

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Dads 4 Special Kids. It's our desire to create a place where dads that have a child with special needs can go to and find support, understanding and resources to be the dad in their childs life. We want to have this place to be on the internet and a host monthly gatherings where dads can meet other men face to face. D4SK is a reflection of the dads that currently make up this organization, so as you become part your life will be reflected in it. You will find that there are other men dealing with similar issues, so please share so we can help you become the dad you were designed to be. Ray
