Videos Real Men Watch

With my wife still away on travel for work, my two-and-a-half year old son and I continue to turn our house into the bachelor pad we’ve always wanted. For our Friday movie night we decided to turn it up a notch. Pow! While the wife likes the cute and cuddly shows and fuzzy cute cats..we’re men and we sometimes need to watch shows that only men watch. So what did we watch? A movie about dogs. Not cute cuddly dogs either! No we watch on DVD a story about a BIG RED DOG!

Yep, that right. We watched Clifford’s Really Big Movie. Why is Clifford a real man’s dog? Well while he may like his family, and he may like his friends…there is only one thing that he really needs to make him happy. As long as he has a nice big bowl of Tummy Yummies he’s perfectly happy. Ahhh…finally a movie the boy and I can really get into!

Clifford\'s Really Big Movie
As I mentioned before, these past few weeks have been busier than I had expected. Being a single dad, even for only three weeks, has given me very little time to write some of the father-son stories I wish to tell. While I joke that it’s our time to be bachelors, the truth of the matter is the focus really has been to be the kind of man my son really needs me to be with his Mom away on travel. That man is a Dad who is willing to give up working in the garage or time on the computer and instead sing songs, color in books, or build blocks. In my fortune cookie that came with our chinese food this evening was something very fitting and where I end this post:
Good examples have
twice the value of
good advice.
