It’s been a crazy year. Will is now 4, and while things were nutty during the infancy months, things seem even more hectic now that the boy continues to grow as a preschooler! Christmas was a blast. It was the first year he’s asked for specific toys — and in […]

“When We Have To Say ‘No'” by John DiBiase
As a parent, I’ve learned that one of my favorite things to do is to give our son gifts. If he likes something, I really enjoy getting him little gifts or toys related to that subject. It’s just fun for both of us. Since he’s been born, apparently that’s a […]
“To Spin or Not to Spin” by John DiBiase
Over the weekend, Will got violently ill, waking up in the middle of the night, puking all over his crib. Amy spent most of the next 36 or so hours by his side, even sleeping with him on the couch the next night. Two nights later, Amy and I were […]
“March 24, 2014 Journal: Prayer Time” by John DiBiase
Most “bed times” consist of Amy marching Will (who is 3 years old) into his room, brushing his teeth, reading him a story, etc. and then they both call for me to come into his room for prayer time. Tonight went a little different. I walked into his room where […]
March 20, 2014 Journal: “It’s Spooooooky!” by John DiBiase
Most nights when Will goes to sleep, I leave his room to finish work in my office in the next room, or retreat to my Fortress of Solitude in the basement for some much needed downtime. Often times, Amy will fall asleep in Will’s room while reading him a story […]
October 14, 2013 Journal: “Will the Wannabe Concert Photographer” by John DiBiase
Tonight, the three of us attended a Plumb concert in York, PA at a place called Church of the Open Door. We’ve taken Will to a few shows in his short life, even since before he’d been born (but apparently when the fetus could already start hearing), but it’s been […]

July 15, 2013 Journal: “Toys, Movies and Bug(Car)s, Oh My!” by John DiBiase
Our son Will is now 2 years and 9 months old. In recent months, his language development has accelerated considerably, which has been exciting for my wife and I to watch. He frequently surprises us with random movie quotes or repeating things we say… which brings no shortage of amusement […]
April 25, 2013 Journal: “Watching Cartoons While You Work” by John DiBiase
It’s been a few months since I last wrote, but things have been far from uneventful. Will’s still growing and changing pretty much daily and the things that he says make us laugh all the time. It’s intriguing to note how much we often have to ‘roll with the punches,’ […]
January 24, 2013 Journal: “Speech!” by John DiBiase
Will’s speech and comprehension of seemingly random things keeps amping up. Just the other night, we were out at a diner and he was holding a toy and suddenly raised it in the air and declared “Up!” And put it down and proclaimed, “Down!” And, I forget what the objects […]
