He’s a quick learner
My son went to his first professional soccer game and now when he plays soccer it consists of him running around frantically and then falling down pretending to be injured.

Nate Smith: Best Dad Ever - Magic Show
Amen, Frank Zappa. Amen. And nice cat.
(Related: In light of the Johnny Depp thing from last week, I’d like to point out that Frank Zappa is my dopplegänger.)
I can always see the frustration in Chandler’s eyes when I tell him to do something rather than tell him why I want him to do something, or when I forcibly pick him up and move him somewhere, rather than asking him to follow me.
Obviously there are times when I have to use the “because I said so” method. But I am really trying to always explain to Chandler why what I want him to do is actually something he should want to do too.
Sometimes this process helps me realize that doing things “my way” isn’t actually necessary at all. You’d think being married 7 years would have done that already.

Tonight it struck me that in about 5 months I’ll be starting the process of fatherhood all over again. The late nights. The burp cloths. The late nights.
But of course, I won’t be starting over completely. We’ll still have Chandler…at least I think that’s how this works. But I’ll also have this new kid to take care of. How are we going to pull that off?
Right now, one of the main reasons I am excited for our new child is so that Chandler will have a sibling to play with. I realize that my entire focus is on Chandler and I can’t imagine splitting my focus between them.
What if I don’t like the new baby as much as I like Chandler? I mean, that’s what happened when my little sister was born.
Or what if I like new baby WAY more Chandler? I mean, that’s definitely NOT what happened when my little sister was born. But I’m sure it could happen.
What if new baby isn’t as good as Chandler at acting in my videos? Or what if new baby turns out to be a total diva and demands his/her own trailer?
What if new baby is a bad influence on Chandler and they gang up on us and steal our money and run away for a life of crime?
What if new baby hates my blog? Or what if new baby sees my blog as a business opportunity and demands royalties for use of his/her likeness.
I just realized I’m going to have to make a new banner for Improvising Fatherhood featuring Me, Chandler, and new baby, all with fake mustaches.
What if new baby comes out with a full mustache?
My wife and I just participated in a boogie relay race. While bathing with Chandler, my wife wiped his nose with her hand and got a substantial booger. Not wanting to put it in the bath water she held her hand out and I wiped it off her hand with my hand.
What. Has. Become. Of. Me?
Why does my toddler’s mattress need a 25 Year Warranty? 25 years from now I want nothing to do with this.

That’s right. This July, coming to an Improvising Fatherhood blog near you, A NEW BABY!!!!
We don’t know the gender, and based on the ultrasound images we’re not even sure about the species. Chandler is very excited to have a new baby in the family. He has been carrying around a baby doll - and sometimes a baby monkey - that he has been taking care of.
Okay, I’m going to go take a nap now. I’m tired just thinking about this.
I’m at work and receiving video messages from my in-laws showing Chandler playing by himself. He has a mommy, daddy, and baby horse, and they are driving around in a jeep with a trailer hitch. He is making voices for them and based on what I understand from his broken English, there is some sort of crisis involving the baby horse getting left behind.
Playing by himself and using his imagination is new for Chandler. This is one of the first times I’ve seen him do it. It’s really quite entertaining to watch. It will also come in handy when we need to do chores around the house (check Facebook) and want Chandler to play by himself for a while.
Chandler is hiding from Mommy.
Here’s a video of Chandler “reading”. Pretty much he has memorized the book. It’s still pretty good.
After watching (and being apart of) my last video, The Basketball Diaperies, Chandler has now started throwing the soccer ball around and saying, “Get that noise out here!”
Another victory in parenting.
