When I was little and my baby sister started crying, I would just cover my ears. I didn’t want anything to do with the other little human in the house when she was screaming. I was not a particularly thoughtful child. But when sweet Cal, just a little tyke himself, sees his sister crying, he goes above and beyond to make her feel better. He pulls himself up onto the bed just to snuggle up next to her. Cal says “cuddly baby, cuddly baby” in a sing-song voice until his sister is happy again. What a great brother!

Being a mom can be a messy job. Between cooking, feeding, and playing with the children, a mom’s work is never done! For both well-experienced and new mothers, perhaps the most daunting and outright dirtiest part of the job is the infamous changing of the diaper. Changing a diaper is hard enough, but it can be even more frustrating when the baby is wearing a onesie. One experienced mom just discovered the best-kept secret to saving a baby from what she calls the “Poo-Nami.” Check out this mom’s awesome diaper-changing tip below! You go, mom! I wish changing my clothes were that easy! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/diaper-changing-tip/
Rob Lopez is a huge Star Wars fan. So, naturally, his son Sebastian is, as well. (And he loves Darth Vader.) One of the joys parents get to experience is having fun with their children. That’s why Rob and his wife (but mainly Rob) decided to see how their son would react if Darth Vader woke him up in the morning. Likelihood of traumatizing their son: ~15% YouTube But, I don’t know what’s better…this dad’s costume, or how his son reacted! Thankfully, their son proved that the Force is indeed with him (and Darth Vader is whipped). Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/darth-vader-wakeup/
Getting ready for a new school year can be a challenge for most parents, but while many think getting up at 7 a.m. to see your kids off to the bus is rough, it’s nothing compared to what this father does. Jose Luis Dominguez is determined to give his two kids — seven-year-old Luis and eight-year-old Kayla — the best possible chance at a good education, something he never had the opportunity to get. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); The three live in Mexico but through sheer determination Dominguez managed to get his two kids enrolled in a school in South Texas, just across the street from the restaurant he works at. Every morning and afternoon, the trio make the trek across the Hidalgo International Bridge, over the Rio Grande, to and from home. The 32-year-old says life is ugly across the border, with kids frequently being abducted by drug cartels. He feels a lot safer knowing his little ones are in school in the U.S. while he’s at work. Talk about going the extra mile for your kids. For Dominguez, a quality education away from drug violence is reason enough to wake up every morning and hike across an international border in the hopes it will get his children walking on a better path.

Parents with little children know this struggle all too well… There comes a time when kids outgrow the little booster steps to the sink and want to reach it all on their own. Unfortunately, they haven’t had their growth spurt yet and they still can’t reach the faucet to wash their hands. So, mom or dad has to pick them up. But there must be a better way, right? …And sure enough, there is! This is genius. Not only is this easy to make, it can quickly be removed when grown-up company comes over. That’s what we call the best of both worlds! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/sink-extender/
The Nuna Pepp is sure to make you wonder why Americans need to have everything so big. The European stroller, which only recently debuted in the United States, is compact and incredibly light, weighing in at just 19 pounds. Despite its smaller size, the stroller still has a shade, storage basket and five-point harness. We had a chance to test drive the Pepp stroller, and found it to be snappy, compact and very chic. Assembly was a breeze, and it folds incredibly flat for easy storage. The compactness of the stroller is probably its best feature; place it side-by-side with a typical American stroller, and you’ll definitely see the difference. The Pepp is also made for one-hand navigation, so no more coffee-stained shirts while pushing your baby. The five-point harness, however, is something to get used to. Because it requires so many clicks into and out of place, prepare for a greater struggle with your writhing little one. What’s more, the basket underneath is reminiscent of typical European car trunks — very small without much room for storage. The Nuna Pepp retails for about $300, so it isn’t the cheapest stroller on the market, but urban dwellers will appreciate what it has to offer.

Singing is an awesome way to pass the time while driving. Many a road trip has been saved by hours and hours of belting out lyrics on the highway. It’s always fun to sing along to songs you haven’t heard in a while, even some of the classics. That’s exactly what this father-son duo did while out on the open road one day. To pass the time, they decided to sing their own special version of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.’s duet, “Me and My Shadow.” It’s amazing to watch them give the performance their all, and their song choice really represents their close relationship.

Remember that terrifying feeling of being in trouble when you were a kid? That was the scariest thing of all, because letting Mom and Dad down (and getting caught) was completely awful. But when this little boy gets in trouble, he doesn’t contest it. He just freezes in fear, and it’s super adorable. Even Mom can’t help but giggle! I hope this boy doesn’t get in trouble too often, otherwise he could be frozen for a long time! That wouldn’t be good for anyone. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/frozen-fear/
