What surprised me the most about being a parent is how much time you have spend with your kid. You can’t leave your child alone for a second and you always have to be watching to make sure they are safe and alive. Looking back on my own childhood I realize now how much time was spent with my parents. even when I was with friends my own or my friends parents were in the room watching us. I learned that children need to sleep. Alot. And they have to eat healthy for their physical development. Also talking and sining and reading to them is very important for the mental development. The flour baby was similar to a real child in a sense that we had to take care of it all week and bring it everywhere went went or arrange for a babysitter. But it also was very different becuase our flour baby was not alive. They didn’t move or cry speak more get a dirty diaper. I bet it would be really different with a live human baby. Overall though I enjoyed the project and will always cherish Reggie. #1 in my heart.

Reggie is a wonderful four year old. He is showing tremendous talent in sports. He is now in pre school learning many skills like his ABC’s and how to write his name. He is becoming more mature and I’m very proud. He is now dressing him self in the morning and I’ve gotta say that he has some style. We enjoy reading books together and he is beginning to memorize the words and sentences which is an important step in learning how to read. My parenting style is a little different from my own parents. I am more loose and just want my kid to be happy. We had a situation with thumb sucking. It wasn’t a big deal. In fact it is completely normal for kids to do that. I just encourage him not to but other than I leave it alone. Most kids stop around the age of four and he has for the most part so I am not stressing over it. Also a huge step for him. He is eating without spilling! More food is getting in his mouth than on him.

So Reggie is a toddler now. Wow he’s growing up so fast. It seems like only sunday he was born. He is feeding himself now. His favorite food is spaghetti but he always makes a mess. I think he gets more food on himself than in his mouth. Also my boy is walking now. He was walking shortly after his 1st birthday. Pretty soon he’ll be stealing bases for the Red Sox in the MLB. He is very social with other kids his age and he loves his stuffed teddy bear. He cuddles with it at night. His first word was mango. He can’t string together a lot of words but he can say juice if he wants juice and stuff like that. Now that he’s getting older I have been leaving him with a babysitter more often giving me more free time to go on dates and hang with the boys. We watch cartoons together and I have child proofed the house a little bit. For example I had to childproof the silverware drawer so he doesn’t grab a knife and stab himself. 

This my son Reggie. He is all swadled up and about to head off to bed. Sweet Dreams little guy.

So my child is one now. He learned to smile and laugh and can even roll over. He is also grabbing things like blocks and toys now and is trying to walk but no success yet. He’s really learning. I’ve lost a lot of sleep though. He used to wake me up at all hours of the night but now he sleeps soundly. But over all my baby is on the right track if not more advanced. He may be the next einstein. SInce I am a single parent I had to find a way to take care of the child so I retired. I can do this because I am loaded. But adjusting to life as a stay at home and single dad was no easy task. Reggie’s mother past away very suddenly but we are getting through it.I had to learn and teach myself how to do all of these things like burp a baby, change a diaper, feed the baby. There was a bit of a learning curve but I got it now. I am a pro dad. https://www.thebump.com/a/how-to-burp-a-baby

Hello people. I am pleased to announce that I am having a baby boy. He shall be named Reggie after Reggie Jackson because my baby is going to the MLB and will break the record for amount of stolen bases in a season. Reggie is my biological son and will be living with me. My baby is a fetus and his facial features are more distinct and he has developed hands eyes and feet. My wife has been a little aggravated and uncomfortable but that is expected. I am just trying to make her life easier and help in any way I can. We plan to raise the child together in a single household. I am excited.
