		<description><![CDATA[A little over a year ago, I got this idea (I&#8217;m sure after seeing something similar on the internet - I&#8217;m really not that creative).  The idea was to take a daily portrait of Swee&#8217;Pea and TheMonk starting on their 4th birthday and ending on their 5th birthday.  And so we did.
Over 365 days, Swee&#8217;Pea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As great of a responsibility I have, as a parent, to teach my children the lessons they will need to grow up to be non-felons, it has become apparent that an unexpected bonus of this parenting gig is how much Swee&#8217;Pea and TheMonk have taught me.
Those who know me will tell you that I&#8217;m a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, back before a barrage of work, birthdays, and family visits knocked me out of my blogging mojo, the family was invited to attend the grand opening of SeaWorld San Diego&#8217;s new dolphin show Blue Horizons.  
As you may recall, Swee&#8217;Pea, TheMonk and I got to be a part of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to provide a mellow bedtime routine to help kids transition to sleep. The books tell you that.
But it&#8217;s equally important to boogie to Lady Gaga&#8217;s Telephone while getting jammies on - creating laughter and memories.  My heart tells me that.
It&#8217;s important to provide nutritious, balanced meals and limit unhealthy snacks. The experts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t do reviews.  I get, on average, about 15 to 20 emails a day asking me to review some product or another. Some offering payment.  Some not.  I&#8217;ve rarely accepted these review opportunities because I wasn&#8217;t familiar with the company and didn&#8217;t use the product.
But that changed this week.  The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I arrive at 5:15 on a Friday afternoon. A three-day weekend looms and the preschool is decidedly empty compared to most afternoons.  The remaining kids are out on the playground and I head out to greet Swee&#8217;Pea and TheMonk.  
Swee&#8217;Pea sees me first and races towards me.  About half-way there, however, she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Swee&#8217;Pea is wrong.
It is my job, as her knowledgeable father, to point out the occasional missteps that my daughter makes in hopes that she will be grateful for each and every opportunity to learn from her father.
&#8220;Swee&#8217;Pea, that&#8217;s not right.&#8221; I say.
&#8220;Yes it is.&#8221; She replies with a level of confidence that only a four-year-old [...]]]></description>

At least, I don&#8217;t think it does.  All it really resembles in Swee&#8217;Pea and TheMonk playing the hero/heroine while I play the villain.  This means fending [...]]]></description>
