first barney, then hillary duff, then hannah montana. now I know the words to jonas brothers songs.

bring on the humiliation boys, being a dad means being involved.

doesn't mean I don't slip in some led zep or john mayer onto my girls ipods, or make them watch remember the titans.

Girl-tinis - I might have to make those some time for my girls (the older ones, that is). Best of luck with your mixed crew of 5!

First of all, ya, you really DID take the plunge. Congrats and kuddos for taking on such a huge responsibility and in such a sincere way.

Our situations are somewhat similar. Remarried this year at 36. I already have three boys, 9, 6 & 3, but got two stepdaughters, 6 & 5 in the process. Because they are boys, and my actual offspring connecting with them has been, well, natural. With the girls, I realized I had to work at it a little bit. Barbies, Hannah Montana, and Care Bears (including a 6-foot version inducing the same reaction as Barney for your little one), they're really not my scene, but circumstances resulted in me being the stay-at-home step dad this summer. It gave us a chance to bond doing things like making "Girl-tinis" (Sprite & food coloring in a martini glass) and having a date night.

Thanks for sharing a great post and for being the example of a hero to your new family.
