Daddy Reflexes

You hear people talk about "cat-like" reflexes all the time, but this awesome montage shows that Thug Daddy reflexes may be even more spectacular...

Thug Daddy medals to every dad in this video whose reflexes helped narrowly avoid the every day dangers of childhood.

Rock Star Day

Today was Rock Star day at T's daycare.

Needless to say that a Thug Daddy like me needed to make sure that Tommy brought his "A" game. After all... he might actually be a Rock Star one day. lol

Mildly 80s inspired... mixed in with some badassery... and here's what we came up with...

Costume: Bandanas (red and black), cool printed tee, chains, skulls, and hair chalk. The rest is pure attitude.

When I picked him up at the end of the day, we had a typically cute Tommy conversation...

T: "Daddy, everybody was bugging me today."
Me: "Like teasing you?"
T: "No... just bugging me. Even people I never play with, wanted to play today."
Me: "Being a rock star is like that sometimes."
T: "I just wanted some space man."

He has all the makings... charisma... entertainer... loves to sing... I'd never try talk this kid out of being a rock Star one day. Or anything else for that matter.

Heck, this might be our get up for the first day of school in a couple of weeks.

Fancy Tea Day

Spit-shined for Fancy Tea Day at daycare.

He cleans up pretty good!

That's ma boi!!!!

Darth Tom

Costume Day at daycare.

Darth Tom wants you to join the Dark Side. We have cookies.

Vader mask... lightsaber... ladies witch outfit hacked into a cloak... black shorts... black shirt... all things that were already on hand. Easy queasy Japanesey! most importantly, he loved it.

Admit it... at some point you did the vader breath thing...

Team Green

Soccer.is.done. 

The kids and the coach... melancholy. 

Fantastic last game today - really closely contested. There was a young lad on the other team named Flynn who was EASILY the best kid we played all year - what a great little player - kept it a game or it would have been a slaughter. I actually saw something from the kids they don't usually have to display - stamina. End of game... we rolled over them finally. And convincingly.

What an incredible experience this year has been. So fulfilling to have 16 hungry eyes looking at you every week just waiting for you to teach them something. Only makes the "beautiful game" that much more beautiful. My thanks to everyone but especially to Jenn for her awesome soccer momming. Today she made all the kids water bottle goodie bags... so smart. Most of the kids forgot all about the medal they got. Kudos.

I thought I would create a graphic for the kids and their Facebook pages...

Roll on Team Green!!! The season may be over but the memories will last forever. Thank you all for an incredibly rewarding experience.
