Fidel Castro — too funny. No wonder there’s more beard news ahead for El Barbudo.

My youngest did exactly the same on the bed at around 18 months. She knew she shouldn’t have — but sometimes they have to test the boundaries.

You can look on it as just waking you up a little early for how things go in about fifteen years’ time…

Hi Matt,

Maddy’s dresses are so cute! Have you ever considered auctioning some of her old clothes and using that money for the Liz Foundation.

@shannon great advice...i plan to tell maddy about the things that her mom did that were annoying or just plain sucked. for proof, check out the robot post, in which i described liz getting so pissed at me that we didn't talk for a few days.

Hi, I have seen you a few times on the tv. I feel I need to share with you something I found helpful as I have grown up. My mother passed away when I was just a baby also. For many years I would hear great things about my mother. As I grow up I found it hard to relate to her as a person. She was this person in a photo, this great person but not real to me. So as hard as it will be to find bad things, please tell your daughter some not so good things about your wife. Things like she got lost a lot driving or left her wet towel on the floor. Nothing to bad, just something to make her know she was a REAL person. Good and bad. Sounds simple and I don’t know if anyone else feels like this but it helped me feel more connected to her. Thanks and good luck. Shannon

I think you’re doing a great job raising Maddy on your own, my mom did it and she’s the best mother ever, I’m sure that’s what your daughter thinks of you! Good luck and keep up the good work. Great stories and stuff by the way!

First of all, I salute you for doing a great job with Maddy. I watched you & Maddy at RR show twice already but didn’t get the chance to really peruse your blog till 5 this morning.

What you do is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your stories!
