Brandon and Jesse catch up on what's new with their kids this week: ear infections, bursting ear drums and major walking improvements. Then we dig into this week's topic: helicopter parenting, and judgment of parenting in general. It's difficult to tell where to draw the line between wanting what's best for your kid, and giving them room to grow on their own. Plus, we're all a little too quick to judge other parents' style based on our own.

Brandon and Jesse catch up on what's new with their kids this week: getting baptized, one-year immunizations, and (slowly) learning to walk. Then we dig into this week's topic: sickness. Babies get sick CONSTANTLY, especially when exposed to other babies. Ear and respiratory infections, diarrhea, vomiting, all that fun stuff - it's gonna happen. It's tough on the parents, especially when *YOU* get sick too. But according to a Dutch study, exposure to germs as a baby means fewer sick days as your kid gets older. It sounds like common sense, but when you're an inexperienced, freaked-out parent like we are, it can be hard to see the obvious... so we're here to help you out.

Brandon and Jesse catch up on what's new with their kids this week: crawling, walking and climbing stairs. Then we dig into this week's topic: a nostalgic, honest look back at our time as fathers.
