Cute Baby Picture

Real Dad Blog Version: If you are a dad and you enter your kids into a cutest baby contest, I am sorry, but you are not a real dad.

In the news lately, I have been hearing about those darn baby contests. They are online contests for who think they have the cutest baby or even kid. Gerber has three cute babies you can vote on. The cutest baby gets $25,000. You can check it out at The Cute Kid. I have to admit those are some cute kids. Their smiles will make you smile.

Your local newspaper may sponsor a cutest baby/child contest and you may have already entered your baby into a contest. OK, you better not have. It better have been your wife that entered your baby or child. It is OK for your wife to do this!

As a dad, how should you feel about entering your kids into a cutest baby contest? First, you should feel that your baby is the cutest in the world no matter what, contest or not. Even if your baby is ugly in everyone else’s eyes, you are going to think your baby is the cutest. Second, you shouldn’t even enter your kids into these contests. It is not worth your time. Your wife can do that and have high hopes. If you are going to enter these contest you are going to break a dad rule / man rule. You should feel these contests are wrong, especially for boys. Third and finally, you have better things to do like getting them ready for their future sports scholarship.

Cutest Baby - Dad's Little Boy

All I have to say to these cute baby contests and cute kid contests, is my baby is the cutest. Any dad would say this about their kids.

So Rylan, you are the cutest and more importantly the coolest. Wait!!! Saying that, did I write $25,000 earlier this dad blog post? I might just have to do enter my son into a cutest baby contest.

Note: This dad blog post is sarcastic and makes fun of dads who enter their kids into these contests. I do not blame you for seeing dollar signs in your future. How likely is that though? Dads can have dreams too.

Rylan at a Twin's Game. Not softball, but close enough

Tonight was our 2^nd to last game of softball.  We won 19-0.  It was a late game so the little one and Melissa could not make it.  Every dad needs those nights of just men and competition.  It feels a lot better to win those competitions then open a can of beer and guzzle the taste of victory.  Tonight’s win was especially sweet as we have sole possessions of 2^nd place. There was no chance of us getting 1^st place team was exceptionally good.

After next week, I will be in the home stretch of my last few weeks off of work.  I will then have to start coaching high school soccer and have less time with the little one and the gorgeous wife.  The benefits of being a stay at home dad for two months and the three reasons of becoming a teacher, June, July and August.

Those months of summer can never be taken away because of have some nights of male bonding with fellow fathers and some day to be dads.  It feels good to bond with my fellow man and sip a cold one.  It is better though to have time with Rylan and the wife.  Oh the dreads of work but being lucky to have a good paying job (Yes, teaching can pay well).  Thank you for the great summer Rylan and wife.  Thank you fellow men for the male bonding and letting the aggression out of hitting a softball.  Cheers to victory and cheers to the dad blog!

If you like softball, you may like this softball blog that I have read a few times for the love of softball.
