Schuyler had two rules for raising babies: no diapers, and no staying home.In this episode, Jeff explains how letting his daughters toddle around bare-bottomed sped up potty-training, and how refusing to curb their social life meant babies at yoga retreats, dinner parties, and late nights with friends. Both strategies mostly worked, until they crossed paths one night at a party in Clinton Hill. John Currin's Hermès loafer never stood a chance. This is the fourth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
