A Brief Discreption in Well See How This Goes

This is my first attempt at writing a blog. Just a warning to anyone who may have stumbled on to this, I’m a bad speller and my grammar isn’t much better. So if those things bother you this is not the blog for you.

I don’t really have an idea for what this is going to be about or how often I plan on writing. So it will probably just be whatever I feel like making it that day.

As my username may have given up I am a Dad. I’m also a husband, son, brother, so on and so on. But a being a dad is what I spend the majority of my day doing. I am a stay at home dad of a 5 (almost 6) year old, a 2 (almost 3) year old and a 9 (almost 10) month old. The 5 year old I had with my previous wife, the 2 year old is from my current marriage and the 9 month old is a foster child we have had sense he was 2 weeks old.

My 5 year old son (who I will call G) is a very caring, sweet, silly, energetic, and smart kid. He is currently going through a phase of not listening very well. G will be a first grader in a couple weeks. He is the youngest kid in his class. Because his birthday falls just before the cut off. So his first year of kindergarten was a bit of a struggle for him. But G never gave up and was able to do much better the second half of the year. Even though he is the youngest he is also one of the tallest and biggest kids in his class. Which I think helps he fit in more. G looks older than he is and is able to hold his own with the kids who are almost a year older than him. He loves playing games on his iPad and watch youtube. G also loves being a big brother. He is very sweet most of the time with his younger brothers. Sometimes he wants to also act as though he is their parent, but for the most part his just trying to be helpful. G also loves animals of any kind and insects. He just got a bearded dragon a couple months ago that he loves, and has a dog that is his personalty in dog form. He also claims a cat as his. He has is willing to try most things and little fear of getting hurt. He is always pushing to climb things or jump things from higher and higher. I have joint custody of G with my ex-wife. I see him almost everyday because he comes here while she works and when he’s in school I pick him up on her days till she gets home.

My 3 year old son (who I will call A) is reserved, silly, smart, stubborn, independent and artistic minded. A has always been very independent. He enjoys playing by himself. Not because he doesn’t like other people, they just ruin the storyline thats in his head. He likes things how he likes them. There was some concern that A was autistic when he was younger but less so now. He has recently started coming out of his shell a little more. He will now go up to people he knows and even sometimes people he doesn’t know and interact with them. He has started singing and dancing for anyone he can find. He has a crazy good memory. Well should say he seems to have a good memory for things he chooses to. He can remember the words to a song her heard a few times, but forgets when I tell him I’m going upstairs to put the baby down for a nap. He is not currently potty trained and as only a passing interest in its at the moment. He’ll tell me he need to use the potty shorty after he’s already gone in his diaper, but its progress. A loves his big brother G and his world kind of revolves around G. He misses G when G goes to his moms house and says he wants his G. He has no affection for the baby and never has sense the baby came to live with us. I think we were able to really prepare his for having a sibling like we were for G. So one day he was the baby and the next he wasn’t. Also G kind of smothered A with affection sense the day he was born so A was stubbornly forced to have a relationship with him that turned into what it is now.

So those are the little overloads that run my day. There is more about each of them I could go into but thats a good general idea. I spend my days trying to keep them alive while keeping myself sane. Most days only one of those things happens. This is probably going to be a blog most about how I’m doing with that most days.

So this is just a brief introduction in to one aspect of my life. As I mentioned I am also married and will go more into that part of my life in another post. Also as mentioned I had a previous life with my ex-wife that I may get into at some point as well.
