A co-worker came in today with an armload of Christmas Goodies that his kids made for us last night. While searching for the best cookie to take back to her desk another co-worker came across this beautiful Gingerbread Man, lovingly crafted by one of the children. I just had to take a snapshot of this priceless work of art and share it with all of you.
Merry Christmas!
All Entries - the whole enchilada All Comments - the whole conversation This Post's Comments - this conversationParent hacks has an interesting little post about night terrors. The gist is, if your kid wakes up with a bad dream work with them to create a new one. Worth a quick read.
Mobile D is for dad -I really did this for myself but thought one or two of you might find it worthwhile. Using mofuse, I created a mobile preview of d is for dad.

I took the girls to the mall this morning. While strolling along my three year old asks, “Was that a boy or a girl?” while gesturing toward a guy walking by.
I barely caught this guy in my periphery but it was enough to be relatively certain he was a he. “That’s a boy”
Girl: But he has a necklace on
Dad: Some men were necklaces
Girl: Daddy! That is silly. Boys don’t wear necklaces!
Dad: Sure they can. I don’t, but some boys do.
Girl: Oh (while giggling) they need to be a real boy like you
Dad: Huh … thanks kid
My money says that gingerbread man has been trying to conceive.
He has my sympathies LoL.
Cute, real cute.
Too funny. Wonder what Freud would have to say about that. Sometimes a gingerbread man is NOT just a gingerbread mad!
I think that gingerbread man has some kind of VD, they shouldn’t be that red should they?

It’s amazing that:
1) So far all Commenters have been guys.
2) All four of us (me included) immediately thought this was a “frontal” shot.
My son looked at this image and said the gingerbread man had “Mandrill Butt”.
At least he does not have blue ones..
Show him again in 15 years and he’ll be with US!
Freud is having a field day with this….
@Kim,
You know, that’s the first thing I thought when I saw him. “It would have been funnier if they were blue”.
@Xbox4NappyRash,
In 15 years they’ll be closer to his knees, and he’ll probably accidentally sit on them from time to time.
I’d have to say…that is the manliest gingerbread man I have ever seen. I’m jealous…
Poor guy. He could have at least put a longer sprinkle (we called them jimmies back home in Boston - probably a better word in this case) between there. That little green nub just doesn’t cut it.
@Jared, @BusyDad,
I think I have the scoop on the background story. I think “Mrs.” Gingerbread found several yellow sprinkles (blond hairs) on “Mr.” Gingerbread and gave him a quick doughy knee to his nether region.
What BusyDad perceives is a green sprinkle is actually a candy corn, but the swelling has all but obscured it. Somebody get him an icepack.
Maybe we all have it wrong….. They’re ovaries!
Yet I see more than that. I see an elfin girl sitting right there in the middle of his tummy. Can no-one else see that?
Jen
@Jen - That is amazing, really. You gotta love a fresh set of eyes. I can totally see the elfin girl. She’s cross-legged and looking to her right.
now I’m beginning to think there is more than just ginger in that gingerbread man…
@Jen,
You’ll have to forgive Chuck. He’s susceptible to suggestion.
All I see is a really “melty” Frosty the Snowman and…. Holy Moly….he’s got the the same pair of “red things” as Mr. Gingerbread man.
@Chuck,
“Manah manah” (Inside Joke)
@Xbox4NappyRash,
…no, really officer, that’s uhhh, “Oregano”!
Stephen’s last blog post..Thanks.
