Day 3535

 Where are we supposed to keep you if you don’t want to go to daycare and you don’t want to go home?

Day 3534

Why not find a new way to be disappointed in your employer on a Monday? 

I’d much rather hang out with Banana, who has accidents by accident.

Day 3533

 Our covid baby does not appreciate large family dinners. 

She does appreciate hunting for droundhogs.

Does not appreciate having to go to bed.

Day 3532

 Dig up the garden, pull up weeds, and mow the lawn like adults.

Build Lego kit… also like adults.

Day 3531

 As expected, Banana has pretty much potty-trained herself. 

Also as expected, she is loudly unappreciative of being told she needs to sit on the toilet at particular times like morning, before and after car trips, and bedtime.

Day 3530

 It would be nice if the rabbits had the decency to be afraid of our dog.

Day 3529

 Some occasions are worth letting the kids stay up a little late, they say. On a school night. Ignoring their future selves.

But also now we’ve heard Banana saying chartreuse. And cockatoo.

Day 3528

 Some days it is very hard to work when there is Lego going on.

Day 3527

 When your kid would rather dig up weeds with you than play Mario party… and then you actually have to go dig up the garden.

Day 3526

 Take delicious cake and make it taller, fancier, and gingerier.

Feel very pleased with yourself.

Day 3525

How to immediately get a parent’s full attention: say, out of the blue, “I didn’t poop or pee in my undies!”

Day 3524

 The littlest one seems to have been taking imagination lessons from her big brother.

The mean giant tried to take her puzzle away, but she used her powers, a flashlight, and a telescope to scare it away. And then a nice giant came and put the mean giant in time out and gave it a stern talking to. 

Says the two year old.

Day 3523

Did not intend to teach the kids that steam can burn you, but here we are. 

Day 3522

 I need to find a scientist who is willing to write a book answering our boy’s questions. I would read the heck out of that book.

Why are our heads on the top of our bodies?

Indeed.

Day 3521

 If you go around the submerged pathway and the grass you walk on is partly puddled, did you just walk through the river?

Day 3520

 How do you evict a bunny?

Day 3519

 We can’t convince everybody that wearing masks helps stop the spread of airborne disease, but at least we know what’s up with eclipses. Progress!

Day 3518

 Who needs sleep when you can build rockets with grandparents?

Day 3517

 I’m not sure it is possible for anyone to be as excited about jellybeans as Banana.

Day 3516

 At what point do we start talking arks?

Day 3515

Mr Gruber says a problem shared is a problem halved. 

I don’t think that’s exactly how the proportions went post-share, because I feel way better…

Day 3514

 What if you put too much cornstarch in your plot?

Day 3513

Day 3512

Walked the trail, still don’t know what the heck I’m doing.

Day 3511

Dear daughter,

Going for a walk is rarely a mistake.

Especially in spring.

Best wishes, 

Your mother

Day 3506

 After all, why not more?

Day 3505

 Is this how Noah would have felt when the rain finally stopped? Confused and disoriented?
