Last Friday night, Big Guy and Mama Mia got to keep Tate while JJ went to see one of her friends (I think she said her name was Margarita Knight?). This provided Big Guy yet another opportunity to share more Parenting tips with all the moms out there.
Tip 1: When faced with a fussy child, the first thing you need to do is feed them.
Bonus Tip: Pay no attention to the "brain freeze" faces.. they love it!
After dinner, you need to show them where their diapers are in case they need to change them
And before bed of course, you need to give them a bath.
Tip 2: If you use the kitchen sink, you can bathe them while you put up the dinner dishes!
Bonus Tip: DON'T use the side with the garbage disposal!
After the bath, it's off to bed. Big Guy finds that if you wedge their heads between the cushions on the sofa while you watch TV, they will soon drift off.

Tip 3: After the bath, if you put them back in the same outfit they had on, you save money and laundry time!!
Bonus Tip: DON"T try Tip 3 with diapers! Trust me on this one moms!
Early Saturday morning, JJ and Mama Mia went to Arlington for a craft fair which left Big Guy totally in charge! This gave him the opportunity to train Tate how to use Mama Mia's extension arm "grabber":
After a minimum of training, it was off to the pantry to get the Cheerios off the top shelf
Tip 4: Letting them get their own milk out of the refrigerator requires additional training
Finally, as for going to the Kimbell, Big Guy thinks this picture sums up all the culture Tate needs right now!
"Get this Big Guy, she actually thought she could outfox me into going to the Kimbell"

BG--do you write your blog after taking the pictures and seeing what you have captured or do you plan pictures ahead of time with your blog topic in mind? Just wondering.
My sides hurt from laughing. How did I end up so normal?!?
Well, Jenny...it must have been the high chair. I mean...the high chair they use now HAS TO BE the same one you used, right? And seriously, there's enough crazy in that chair backing that you didn't have to have any come out in your personality. The chair got the crazy, okay...the chair got the crazy.
P.S. BG is soooo funny!!!
Tater makes so many funny faces it's easy to find some that kind of fit my needs (i.e. making fun of my daughters)
These pictures were actually taken during his stay with us last weekend. Pretty amazing she still lets us (me) keep him!!
LOL. Thanks Sarah. I'm so glad to understand better now how I turned out normal. Yep, that was my high chair. It could catch a fortune on ebay. I keep trying to sneak it out of their house so I can sell it but the damn thing is hard to hide.
LOL about the high chair--totally noticed that it must have been J's! OF COURSE Sarah would have to notice, Ms. Observant!
BG is crazy--but on the good side of crazy. And, I love it--very entertaining.
Awww - the asleep picture. He looks just like JJ when she was a baby!
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, BIG GUY? We want more posts!
Where are you Big Guy??? Surely you have had to babysit Tate since August!
Do you need chanting for your encore??
BIG GUY! BIG GUY! BIG GUY! BIG GUY!
Poor Big Guy. Had to actually start working again. Come back to blog-world!
