Blogger Dad Turns One Tomorrow

Blogger Dad is turning one year old tomorrow. I know, I hardly look a day over eight months. You’re too kind.

I will return tomorrow with some thoughts on turning one and include some lists of my favorite, most controversial and least favorite posts. I’ll also have some information about what’s ahead for the site and for me during Year Two. I’m also working on some other fun looks back for the rest of the week.

Before tomorrow’s update, I want to tie up some loose ends.

First, thank you all for the birthday wishes last week. I appreciate the nice words, though not a single one of you sent me an envelope full of cash or a PlayStation 3! And I thought you were my friends…

I apologize for dropping off the face of the Earth for most of last week, but I was working hard to get Collective Inkwell 2.0 up (this Thursday). I’ve also been working on Ghostwriter Dad with Sean Platt and a new site for our horror thriller Available Darkness (in addition to working with a photographer on a book cover).

Yes, I am fully aware that it was only a few short weeks ago that I said I’d start posting five days a week. If anything, my posts have been even less frequent since then. Reason: Well, see the paragraph above.

For those that missed the news, E is now potty trained! Yay!

I did a four-part guest post series over at Potty Training Power. While many of you might have no interest in potty training, you may enjoy:

• tales of my wife and I battling over a potty seat. Yes, you read that correctly.
• my endless search for the right potty seat and how the Return Lady at Target gave me a weird look when I kept coming back.
• my wife’s and my own mutual nervous breakdowns.
• how it was nearly our last week as a married couple.

Yeah, potty training is waaaay more frustrating than I thought it would be. Fortunately, we received our potty training help from Sean and Cindy Platt with the Potty Training Power course and within a few days, E was as good as gold and all was right in the world – well, except for the whole crumbling economy, the health care fiasco, and perhaps worst of all, being hit with incessant Jon and Kate updates – but otherwise, things were right in the world.

So, how have you been?
