A Dad's Solutions to the World's Little Problems

It's so long ago that my kids were teething, learning to walk, being potty trained, starting school, and now even learning to drive, that I love to hear the trials and tribulations of a new dad. How does one handle the crying baby when he/she is cranky from teething? I do remember walking them in their strollers or even taking them for a drive which usually put them to sleep. (Once we ended in Friday Harbour on San Juan Island (USA) when we were out for a soothing drive, but that's another story.)

I think I did try having a baby in a seat on a dryer because the hum and vibrations would lull them into a sound sleep but that may just be my imagination creating those fond memories of the good old days.

One thing I do remember is waking up from a sound sleep with one of my children asleep on my chest.

Back to the problem at hand, we have lots of advice given to us about how we should (or should not) solve our situation but often the solution comes to us out of the blue. As the new Dad says it just allows us to keep one step ahead because as we know the solutions don't always last.
