Single Parent Chat.net | Single Parent Forum - Life and Times of a Single Parent Dad

I am a working single custodial father of a wonderful 3 yr old boy named Michael. There are no words to truly express my love for him but this blog is my attempt to document our lives in hopes that he may someday have a chance to read the joys and laughter that we shared together.

Along the way, I hope that I may be able to pass on some things I've learned and observed as a single parent; things about parenting, the ups and downs of single parenthood, the emotions experienced watching Michael grow from a baby to a toddler to a boy and, some day, into a man.

To Michael on this Father's day...

Greatest gift for Father's day.

Thank you for the hugs and smiles that brighten my days and nights. Not matter the stress and worries of the day, when I see your wonderful face I think of nothing else except how lucky I am to have you in my life. To feel your hand in mine as we walk, and as you lead me to something new and wonderous that catches your innocent eyes is the greatest gift of all on this Father's day my beautiful son.

Bicycle!

Thought it was about time that Michael learned to ride the bike. Aside from the obvious exercise, I think it will give him a sense of accomplishment and independence being able to ride on his own.

I did the usual research online and found one that looked "just right". I wasn't sure at first which size to get but the one I found was a 12" Mighty Tonka bike. Walmart showed $58 online while Target showed $72 online!

We made a trip to Walmart, all the while...

A trip to the Atlanta Zoo

This past sunday was a beautiful day for a day in the sun.

The night before, my 3 yr old son, Michael, and I had talked about where he wanted to go the next day. He said he wanted to go to the place where he takes his shoes off and bounces around...I had to think for a minute then realized he meant Monkey Joe's (indoor playground of inflatables). So off to bed with a promise that we'd go to Monkey Joe's the next day.

Sunday came and off to IHOP we went for some...

I took my son to Learning Express toy store the other day. It was the first time I had been there and was impressed with their selection of cute and interesting toys that one may not find at some of the larger toy stores. As the name implies, their selection is geared toward educational toys.

My 3 yr old son saw a toy cash register and immediately ran for it saying “I want that”. Since I had a gift certificate I was trying to use up, I said ok. As I was taking the box off...
