Son Arin and Cedella Marley
It was a treat to take my kids, ages 7 and 8 years old, to a marvel of sight and sound that would be the world premier of the musical “Three Little Birds” at Adventure Theatre, located at Glen Echo Park in Maryland. The play is based on a children story by Cedella Marley infused with the music and lyrics of her dad, Bob Marley.

By now you have all seen the mom-famous P&G Best Job commercial by thanking the moms around the world. I loved it, was touched and commend moms as well. But it was safe and easy. I wasn’t offended being a single dad but did feel a little left out. It’s always safe to go with mom. It would have taken some investigating and more passion to do a commercial on dads. And I get it P&G, mostly moms buy your products. I know it’s a numbers game and advertising is about that.
But in my opinion with a stage like the Olympics it was the perfect time to do something different. So we at daddyscool #SaluteDad
Yin Alvarez Stepdad and coach of Olympic bronze medalist in the all around London 2012, gymnast Danell Leyva. Alveraz handed out a lot of kisses to his son showing how the bound between step parents and children can grow.
While Danell’s mom thought he was too round and weird shaped and that his asthma would prevent him from being a gynmast, his stepdad molded him into a Olympic athlete. #SaluteDad
Also being a cool dad I have to salute Steve Lochte, a swim coach and father of the cool Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte. Steve coached up two awesome swimmers, one of which never made it to the Olympics because he started selling weed, but being a dad is dealing with the good and bad. #SaluteDad.
I’ll add more or just hip me to more Olympic dads. In the meantime I salute you for reading. #DadsRule
Despite everything that has gone on with the kids in the past two years with the separation of our family as they knew it and coming to live with me, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. Knock on wood.
I know it’s a continuous process but watching them grow, get new friends, have
Nya and Arin celebrating perfection
sleepovers and excel in school, has made me so proud to have them in my life. Kids are truly models of resilience to watch and follow their lead just as they follow ours.
There is so much we can learn from our children, from having a child’s heart and loving people unconditionally to not being afraid to show emotion when something hurts us.
This week I was able to share breakfast with my twins for getting perfect attendance for the first advisory at school (KIPPdc), which was so cool. Also, today I attended the parent-teacher conferences and heard nothing but great things. My kindergartners are at the top of the class and my 2nd grader has teachers scrambling for 3rd grade work to challenge her. Outside of academics, the teachers are just really impressed at their personalities and character. This speaks volumes to a parent … co-parent.
#DadsRule Everything you do as a parent in and around your child, makes a difference.
80′s Music always brightens my day. Stay focused and in the action, dads. It’s our job to rule the world or die trying. No offense ladies, but who of you wouldn’t want to be laid up following your passion from home knowing that everything is taking care of by your man? Dads let’s get it. Mouths are open, eyes are locked, the pressure is on but this is what we do. No need to fear the unknown. SO shed some Tears for Fears and make it happen.
#DADsRULE You can’t reach the sky sitting down. Stand up for yourself, believe and make it happen. It’s never too late. The world is always waiting for you.
