My daughter Alexandra is almost 2 and a half. She is delicious, but can be tough as most kids her age are. She has trouble sharing. We are trying to teach her and have found it difficult. So i hit the net, searching for answers, and apart from the obvious i found some good kernels.
Firstly, the obvious is to reward good behavior and set good examples.
The not so obvious.... Before a playdate, ask your child if there are any toys they'd like to put away so that nobody can play with them, because it is ok for children to have their own private things. Secondly, when inviting another child to play, ask them to bring a few of their own toys. Your child will inherently want to play with these foreign, new things, and it will make it more acceptable to them to allow the other child to play with their stuff.
Time to implement. Let me know if you have other suggestions.
See my last blog post and i mentioned that i thought the Mets were going to go on a run. Boy do i look smart. They have exceeded my expectations and look like a disciplined, well coached team. I am dampering expectations, but think that they can compete with the rest of the NL.
City Treehouse is an amazing place in NYC for a rainy or winter day. It is by appointment only and features a playroom, a water table and a slide/jungle gym. Highly recommend checking it out.

All this new music that i've been talking about is great and all, but lately it's back to the classics. Lots of Doors, Zepp, Dead, and Reggae. Comfort food for the ears...
Have a great day.

Free Stuff, Ya Mon, Ike D, Baby
http://www.freestuff.com/ Free samples, incentives and other funny stuff
Was just in Jamaica for a destination wedding. Was an amazing party, affair and group of people assembled. We were at Round Hill in Montego Bay. If you or someone you know are considering an away wedding, i cannot more highly recommend a place.
We flew Delta. Had TV on the way back. I absolutely love having a TV while on an airplane. I still read a great book, "The Last Child" by John Hart. It is a bit disturbing, but the pages keep turning.
The couple are stranded in Paris on their honeymoon, unable to fly to Morocco because of this volcano business. Could be worse, but i hope they get south.
Ike Davis makes his debut for the Mets tonight. Finally we get to be excited about something again! I think this callup is timed very well and i think it will light a fire. 7-3 homestand puts them back to .500.
I read that someone thought that they cut Mike Jacobs too early. They obviously didn't see him pop up against a positional player in the 20 inning game.
Finally, i am proud to announce that my wife Kimberly is pregnant again, and that baby #2 is on the way!

Q VS. A, The Temper Trap, The Mets are Banged up (again), Follow Please
I tend to not wax philosophical, especially in this space, but i beg the question of "what is more important, the questions people ask, or the answers they give?" I am firmly in the camp of the "questions". I think peoples questions tell so much more about motivation, intelligence, experience and interest, whereas "answers" are limited in scope.
I come upon this question because i am hiring for our busy summer season. I am interviewing a lot of people, and i find that the good candidates have the questions and the bad ones, the answers. Which camp are you in?
The Temper Trap is a band i have recently found. They sound like a blend of old U2 and the Killers. I cannot stop listening to this album. If you want to give them a whirl, start by downloading the tracks, "Sweet Disposition" and "Love Lost". HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Mets Opening Day, and we'll be missing our 1B, SS, CF and Closer. Glad we had an offseason to get healthy. And our pitchers have had a terrible spring. My optimism is quickly turning to worry.
Finally, i have no agenda in writing this blog. I simply use it to share cool things, links and ideas. Many people are reading it, and letting me know that they are enjoying it. I appreciate it very much! I would appreciate anyone who clicks on the "FOLLOW" link. This feature will send you the new blog posts automatically. Thanks for reading, have a great weekend.
