Tricycles, Tests, and the Joys of Third Grade

Welcome back to the Gray Hair Daycare podcast! Frank and Carlo kick off Season 2 (or is it Episode 11?) with a bang, diving into baby updates, glucose tests, listener mail, and a heartwarming interview with returning guest, John Taylor.

Butternut Squash and Big Heads

Frank starts the episode with the latest produce update: Baby Josephine is now the size of a butternut squash! He shares a humorous observation about her growing head size, prompting a discussion about head shapes, genetics, and the dreaded "bobblehead" phenomenon.  

Silver Fox Mailbag: C-Sections and Car Seats

The guys dive into listener mail, starting with a reassuring email from Becky about C-sections. Frank is relieved to learn that there will be a "nice size screen" separating him from the surgical action. They then discuss a helpful recommendation from Marie, the baby name contest winner, about an Instagram account called "safeintheseat" that provides valuable information on car seat safety.  

The Dad-a-base: John Taylor Returns

In this episode's "The Database" segment, Frank and Carlo continue their conversation with John Taylor, exploring the challenges and rewards of fatherhood. John shares his experiences with newborns, sleep deprivation, and the importance of establishing a day-night routine. He also discusses the joys of watching his son grow and develop his own interests and personality.  

What Just Happened? Glucose Tests and Generous Cousins

Frank recounts his recent experiences with Kelly's glucose test, expressing his frustration with the process and his differing beliefs about the power of the mind. He then shares a heartwarming story about Kelly's generous cousins, who gifted them a play mat and a tricycle, sparking a nostalgic memory about Frank's own childhood tricycle antics.  

Looking Ahead

Frank and Carlo wrap up the episode with a preview of upcoming events, including Kelly's baby shower and the possibility of more "sad stories" from Frank's childhood. Stay tuned for more laughs, insights, and heartwarming moments from the Gray Hair Daycare podcast!
