Since my kid is quite young - not even 2 years old yet - he rarely goes to sleep on his own. If I put him in bed he will just move around, play and laugh. How can he fall asleep if he doesn't stand still for 1 second? I don't think he understands WHAT... Continue Reading →
Life at 40
Congratulations. You've reached level 40. That sounds like an achievement on PlayStation. And just like those, it doesn't mean much. Life goes on and you don't feel like much has changed. Being a dad gives purpose to your life and you don't think that much about yourself. Dad of an almost 2 year old kid... Continue Reading →
One and a half men
My little guy is 1 year and a half now. He has grown high and strong and its hard to look at him as a baby anymore. Sure he still needs lot of caring but his personality is so strong you have to take him very seriously. He's got his own language which sounds like... Continue Reading →
First nursery days
Its the first time I bring him at the daycare all by myself. As we get closer to the door I can sense he pushing back as he wants to go out. I want him "to want to go" all alone but we don't always get what we want. Especially with kids. There is a... Continue Reading →

A day with my son (part 1)
I want to start a series on how a day with my son looks like. He's 1 year old so there aren't many interactions. We get up, have fun and go to sleep. The end. Oh how I wish it was that easy. A usual day with my son looks like this. It's 1 am.... Continue Reading →
Life with kids in quarantine
My son is 13 months old now. I'm not very superstitious. Is that even a thing? But the 13th month was weird with all the quarantine in a pandemic world. I thought it wont affect him much, being still a little one. But we are not made to stay indoors and little kids need to... Continue Reading →
Life with 1 year old toddler
Its been almost 1 year of sleepless nights, worries but also of fun, joy and happiness with my son. He is curios and full of life. He wants to explore everything and has no fear. Like Braveheart, he's charging into every little space of the house with no regard for his safety. No matter how... Continue Reading →
