Rebooting a film series seems to be the ‘in’ thing in Hollywood these days, so I will just follow suit and reboot Pre-Daddy Ditties. Well, okay, not exactly like a Hollywood reboot. It is still Jooae and I as the actors and the site looks exactly the same. Thus maybe we should call it a sequel. Who knows. Either way starting again is in honor of kiddo number 2 being on the way (background cheers).
Okay so first, some heart searching confessions - I am a horrible blogger. I think my last post was like fall of 09. You know, life and stuff happens. Furthermore I was in an ethical quandary. I mean, my blog is called Pre-Daddy Ditties. Once Asher was born (more on that later), I was no longer a Pre-Daddy. Thus do I change the blog name to reflect my new dadhood and continue writing under that title or do I continue under the current title because of all the vast branding implications if I were to change to a new name? See, this dilemma is really what kept me from writing over this last year and a half.
Speaking of which, here is generally what happened since the last post: Jooae got bigger until this super cute boy decided to join us. We named him Asher. He ate, pooped, slept, rinse, repeat for the first 6 months (wait, cross out the sleep - he definitely enjoyed keeping us awake). He started moving and all the things babies do, blah, blah, blah (I hope he doesn’t read this later). So, now he is a super cute, finally sleeping, belly protruding toddler-ish kiddo. I would post his picture but I don’t want to cause anyone to swoon from his cutability.
So, now we are on #2 and I can write under the Pre-Daddy Ditty title once again with clear conscience. However, just to really get everything off my chest, you should know my real motivation in writing again. Money? Nope. Fame? Don’t think so. Creative outlet? Maybe a tiny bit. Overactive sense of fairness? You bet. You see, I am the youngest of four boys and growing up, I kind of noticed that when you are the youngest, there really are not that many pictures taken of you. Thus I have resolved that I will do things equally for my kids so that they all are equal sharers in our love expressed through photos, videos, and blogging about their in utero days. Makes perfect sense, right? So by my calculations, that means I need to write at least 20 posts to equal Asher’s. I suppose I can write more if I occasionally throw things in about him too.
Blog on!
