as The Mad Hatter last Halloween so much that I couldn’t keep my costume in storage any longer. Plus, wearing the hat for a second time made me feel better about paying so much for it. Since my kids loved the surprise, maybe I should go around calling myself “The Dad Hatter” from now on. On somewhat the same topic, we have two stories about dads in this edition, the first a letter to new fathers, and the second a story on stay-at-home dads. They are out there!

dad’s pad |

BY SCOTT KLEPACH JR.

A letter to new fathers Dear New Dad, The times are a-changin’. The word “dad” has different connotations today than it did in previous generations. It’s OK — you don’t have to turn into a carbon copy of Michael Keaton — in fact, even “Mr. Mom” is outdated nowadays. “Dad” can mean many different things now, including someone who stays at home with the children, as well as one who does certain things only a mother was expected to do in years past. Even if they aren’t the at-home parents, most fathers now have greater expectations of helping their significant others with the kids. I’ve never been a stayat-home dad, but I’ve learned that some of what I do — change diapers, help grocery shop, bathe kids, get up in the middle of the night with the baby, and being present and supportive during the pregnancy and birthing process – represent the reshaped roles of fatherhood.

PlaydateYakima.com

• October | November 2010

dad’s pad Now, diaper-changing tables can be found in some men’s restrooms, but they are by no means ubiquitous. Some men still grumble about taking a more active family role, but others are embracing the new norm. Many people accept and encourage this shift, though not everyone is on board yet. Under federal FMLA guidelines, fathers are allowed to take paternity leave, which can span for a few days to even weeks or months. For whatever reason, many dads don’t yet take advantage of this opportunity. Maybe it’s fear of ridicule, or maybe a fear of diaper changes. What surprises me are some of the reactions I received as a new father. After my wife announced she was pregnant with our daughter, a few men turned only to me to say, “nice work,” as if I was the sole producer. A similar and more disturbing response came after our daughter was born, when more than one guy said to me, “Good job!” What? Last time I checked, I wasn’t the one who endured hours of excruciating pain, with the exception of my hand and fingers being squeezed too tightly by my wife in labor. (I didn’t shed too many tears. I did, however, manage to slip in some unhelpful puns and remarks during labor. When cooling my wife with a fan, I told her I was there for her because I was her biggest fan. Maybe this is an example of why

men used to stay out of the delivery room?) Here’s some advice if you’re still wondering if you should jump on board the Mr. Mom train. Being there during the pregnancy and the labor and delivery is crucial. The mother of your child, dad, will likely be staying in the hospital for a couple of days, but this is not to be mistaken for a vacation (she’s lying down on a bed because she has to, not because she wants to), so it wouldn’t be wise to plan, say, a fishing trip right about now. Don’t question her pain or exhaustion, and don’t think nursing is easy, even if it looks that way. This is just the beginning of the road, as the little squirt will continue sapping her strength for the foreseeable future – but, on a positive note, the little squirt has many more rewards to offer. You, dad, may also be sucking the life out of her, but you probably aren’t as cute nor do you have the arsenal of charming tactics you might have had as a baby. Diaper changes are a must. Don’t be fooled into believing women are or should be the only diaper-changers. If you complain, “It makes me sick. I can’t do it,” just think: Is the mother really thinking the opposite? Is she saying, “This makes me hungry! I suddenly am experiencing a wave of energy and joy. If only they’d poop more!”

If you don’t hear her complaining, it’s probably not because she enjoys it; most likely, she’s just keeping it quiet. I think women in general have better olfactory sensors, so diaper changes might be more revolting for them. (For a study on this, please ask any nearby mother.) The theme here is that dads are becoming more hands-on, and any fence-sitters out there need to follow suit. But by hands-on, I do not mean being hands-on with the mother of the child. In fact, you should be especially aware that, though it might seem logical to you, mom probably isn’t too eager to be intimate right after birth. Just imagine someone asking you, after rolling down a rocky hillside and then getting mauled by a bear, to complete a triathlon. Does that sound like a good idea? Mom has to be strong, and you have to be strong, even if you make mistakes along the way. She’s going through so much, and the work has just begun. Physical and emotional changes will be evident for some time, so don’t think she’s ignoring you; she has a tiny, vulnerable little baby to take care of – and so do you. You can take care of yourself by now, even if you can only make spaghetti and burn toast. Just be sure to burn some toast for Mom, too.

Stay-at-home

dads

Stay-at-home fathers may still be few and far between, but they’re out there. In fact, their numbers have been growing in recent years. The U.S. Census Bureau’s report shows that in 2009 there were 158,000 stay-at-home dads (defined as fathers who stayed at home the entire year without actively seeking full or part-time work and whose spouses worked full time), according to Brian Reid, who runs the website RebelDad.com. As Reid noted, there are many more fathers who do not fit the bureau’s criteria but who have taken on more responsibilities with their children. The number of stay-at-home moms listed using the same criteria – about 5.1 million last year – may dwarf the number of fathers in that role, but the statistics shed light on the growing trend of fathers staying home: they’ve nearly doubled in number in 10 years, according to the bureau’s reports. And despite any differences, it turns out that stay-at-home dads have many of the same interests and concerns as those of mothers. Dave Nixon has been at home with his kids for three years. His family faced two big changes in 2007. First, he and his wife, Linda, decided he would stay home as she pursued education and a professional career. But the family also made the move from central Oregon to Selah within months of that decision.

Now Nixon, who takes care of a 6-year-old son, Adam, and a 4-year-old daughter, Kara, has no reservations about these choices. “I have control. I know what (my children) are exposed to,” he said. “Just watching them play, and playing with them and making sure they’re experiencing something good (is rewarding).” Adam Copenhaver, a stay-at-home dad who lives in Sunnyside, has also grown to love his responsibilities. “It’s been a joy to be home with them, to be a part of their life and watching them grow up,” Copenhaver said. “It’s hard for me to imagine people in big cities who have a long commute and come home for a quick dinner and then say >>>

“Just watching them play, and playing with them and making sure they’re experiencing something good (is rewarding).”

good night, and not being part of their lives more than that.” Copenhaver said finding a balance has helped the whole family tremendously. He gets as much housework done while his wife is working, so when she gets home she can “give them as much mommy time as she can,” he said. As a new father, Nixon worked and didn’t consider staying at home with his children, but his perspective changed because, of all things, an ExerSaucer. The toy made him see how quickly his children were outgrowing items and growing up. “The ExerSaucer was great, but in a matter of months they had outgrown it, and now what do you do with this

thing?” said Nixon. “Kids don’t wear out their clothes so much as they outgrow them,” he said. Copenhaver never planned to be in this position. He was a full-time pastor at Yakima Grace Brethren Church for several years before he moved to Philadelphia to pursue a doctoral degree in theology. After completing coursework there and moving to Surrey, British Columbia, for a part-time ministry position, Copenhaver’s wife, Susie, landed an information technology job in Sunnyside. Now, Copenhaver stays at home full time with the kids while he plugs away at his dissertation. He

had a taste of this lifestyle in Philadelphia, though, when he stayed home three days a week while his wife worked, though she was still the primary caregiver. “Our commitment is for one (parent) to be home,” Copenhaver said, adding that eventually Susie will resume her role as a stay-athome mother, perhaps a few years from now when he is finished with his dissertation and secures a job in teaching or ministry. When the family moved to Sunnyside in April 2009, Copenhaver wasn’t sure how long his full-time father role would last, so he took advantage of the time with his two boys, Simon, 6, and Calvin, 4.

October | November 2010 • PlaydateYakima.com

“I thought of it as my goal to make it a memorable summer for the boys,” said Copenhaver. “I wanted it so they weren’t missing Mom, but having Dad time, so we did a lot of guy stuff. We went fishing, went up to the mountains … and were outside as much as we could be.” Then, when his oldest son entered kindergarten, Copenhaver developed a routine of getting up in the morning, making lunches and transporting his kids. Nixon said he’s had more time to see his children grow and introduce them to new adventures year-round. He said he has tried to limit television and replace that time with other activities, such trips to playgrounds, swimming pools and library story times. Other adventures often take place at home. “I check out a lot of books and always read to our kids every day,” Nixon said. “I do a lot of crafts – I’m not afraid of Play-Doh and paint.” Copenhaver noticed the differences in parenting styles as he took over as a full-time father. While his wife liked to get out of the house a lot to take her boys to various places, he had to wrap his mind around his new responsibility. “There was a period of transition, and you have to shift gears from productivity and a regular schedule to just being able to sit, play at tea parties, slow down, and put things out of mind and enter the kids’ world,” he said, adding he isn’t sure if he has made the transition fully. “It’s hard to be in their world entirely and play for hours on end without thinking of other stuff that needed to be done.” Nixon said only recently has he found another stay-at-home dad, and he hasn’t found any dad-centered programs available locally.

• October | November 2010

“I think it’s easier for stay-at-home moms to make friends with stay-athome moms, but it’s not so for stay-athome dads,” said Nixon. “There are not as many parenting resources for dads as there were for women.” Copenhaver hasn’t found any other stay-at-home dads in or around Sunnyside. “Anytime there’s a kid get-together, it’s just me and the moms,” he said. “In those settings, and with school in particular when there’s four moms and me, I find myself wishing Susie was here, since I know she’d enjoy getting to know other moms. They are all kind and gracious, but I’m kind of the odd one in that sense.” Despite these shortages, Nixon and Copenhaver have received mostly

positive responses from others about their decisions. “They think it’s good that they see this happening,” Nixon said. “I’ve gotten fulfillment when people comment on my mode of transportation with my kids. I have a red wagon and take them to or from home with it. People say, ‘You’re the guy with the wagon! I love your mode of transportation.’ ” “It’s not like people haven’t heard of (stay-at-home dads), but it’s definitely unusual,” Copenhaver said. “They sometimes draw their breath back and take half a second to process it, but people are really kind about it. I don’t get the sense that people think less of it.”

on stage Three family-friendly musicals are on tap for this year’s Best of Broadway series at The Capitol Theatre. Single ticket prices: $60/$45/$30/$10.

Ferdinand the Bull will grace the stage at 10 a.m. and noon Oct. 25. Meet the young bull Ferdinand, who would much rather relax and smell the flowers instead of being mean and dangerous.

CoMotion, 4001 Summitview Suite 20, Yakima. 509-966-0676. For the rest of us, The Nutcracker will be at The Capitol Theatre for one show, at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19. Tickets: $67.50/$47.50/$37.50/$27.50.

ant to find a way to spice up your time in the kitchen and give your kids a craving to cook? A few offerings in Yakima are designed to put some extra flavor in your family food prep. One

offering can be found at La Maison de Falaise, dubbed the Cliffhouse and located in Naches Heights. Although the business started in March and offers many adult cooking courses, La Maison de Falaise also hosts kids’ classes. Kathy Sali, the founder and one of the

group’s featured chefs, said the first children’s class — with a Hawaiian theme — was offered in June. Each class will offer a different theme, and Sali hopes to feature fall-favorite dishes such as ratatouille this upcoming season. A parent or other adult is required to sign up with a child, and Sali said one of the goals is to encourage teamwork between the two. Often, she said, parents are busy and pick up fast food or throw something together quickly for dinner, and the time learning about food and bonding together in the kitchen is lost. These classes are aimed at bringing back that kind of relationship that revolves around food. To model this relationship, Sali’s daughter and

October | November 2010 • PlaydateYakima.com

granddaughter, Eschelle and Blaire Nunley, teach each class to show this teamwork in action. Eschelle said that in her family, she has always emphasized the importance of eating meals around the dinner table together — with the TV off. She said making recipes fun and different appeals to children. “Anything off-the-wall and away from the norm gets kids to try different things,” Eschelle said, “so it’s not just a carrot stick in front of them.” Blaire, Eschelle’s 6-year-old daughter, has become very involved in the kitchen with meal preparation in the past few years. She loves making anything with chicken, and the first meal she ever made was chicken shish kabobs. Blaire has also developed a sensitive palette, once detecting basil in that evening’s spaghetti sauce all on her own. Sali said the focus of each class is on the preparation of the food and learning about each ingredient and the cooking process. “It’s also about getting new ideas. Sometimes we run out of our repertoire,” she said. La Maison de Falaise features a garden for students to venture into and

uring each one-hour class, students are exposed to the food pyramid and take a field trip to a grocery store, so they can identify fresh herbs and various ingredients to use for meal preparation. Other topics include sanitation and measuring.

“We also talk about different flavors from different regions,” said Koethke. “For instance, Italian foods have different spices.” All classes are taught by Julie Boorman, the mother of Koethke and her sister Debbie Boorman, who oversees food and menu prep for the company. Each class is $25 per person, which includes the meal he or she gets to take home. The Nov. 13 class will have a Thanksgiving theme, and students will learn how to get ready for a big dinner party with plenty of side dishes. Koethke said they do not require parents to stay for each class, but each child must be at least 9 years old. For more information, contact Trish Koethke at 509-457-7798, or visit the company’s website at freshtastemeals.com.

Now is your chance to find out the answers to these and other spacerelated questions as the Pacific Science Center returns to the Yakima Valley Museum on Oct. 16. PSC will hold a “Space Odyssey” exhibit and a planetarium presentation from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The stationary, hands-on exhibit will allow kids to explore meteorites, constellations and Jupiter’s storm — also known as the big red dot on the planet.

The event, sponsored by the Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program, is free and open to all ages, but keep in mind toddlers might get a little restless during the presentation portion. The museum is at 2105 Tieton Drive, Yakima. For more information, contact Kathy at 509-248-0747.

gotcha!

Andrew McDaniel, better known as Drew, loves being active outdoors. This photo was taken when Drew turned 1, and his mother, Darcy McDaniel, said he is already turning into quite the little baseball player. Doesn’t Drew’s face make you remember how energizing it was to be outside, even if it was just in your own backyard? Drew looks up to his bigger brother, Greyson, and he will get to share adventures with another sibling when he becomes a big brother next spring!

Send us your best!

The deadline to enter our next photo contest is Nov. 5. Winners and rules are published at playdateyakima.com.
