Day 4203

 Good thing we have the Easter Hedgehog to make our boy the best Reese’s piece he’s ever had…

Day 4202

 When, oh when, will the Easter hedgehog come?

Day 4201

 It’s Friday, let’s start a riot over fish sticks!

Day 4200

 Free at last! 

And now we wait for that reality to actually sink in…

Day 4199

 When your kid cracks one of the best jokes you’ve ever heard and you’re not totally sure she did it on purpose.

Of the somewhat crushed paper pumpkin craft: “It’s not a pumpkin anymore. It’s a squash.”

Day 4198

 What am I going to do with 12 and a half years of meeting notes and why am I still making more?

Day 4197

 Voting for a glacier doesn’t seem like the worst possible use of your vote… unless of course the glacier is represented by a raving pack of performance idiots.

Day 4196

 CAR WASH ADVENTURE!!!

Day 4195

How long until the littlest can sing a pirate king ballad?

Day 4194

 You realize how much you’ve built when it’s time to pass it over to someone else.

Day 4193

 Someday this kid will have a birthday that isn’t a floods or Covid or portfolios. 

But in the meantime he gets to be a Jedi. So. Winning?

Day 4192

 Apparently sheesh is a bad word and the daycare should regularly host pizza party dinners for the children.

Day 4191

Bless the hygienists who don’t try to have a conversation with you while their metal sticks are in your mouth.

Day 4190

 How exciting that it is the last day of winter.

Day 4189

 I shouldn’t be surprised when our boy says one of his three favourite animals is the walking whale, but somehow I still am. 

(Side note, how great is the name ambulocetus? A+)

Day 4188

 Turns out if you go to the library often, the children start to trust they’ll get to go back and start becoming efficient about picking out books.

Day 4187

 Apparently individuals can do Friday news dumps too.

Day 4186

 Turns out lazy pie is pretty delicious.

Day 4185

 If they’re not going to eat it anyway, why not add the spicy sauce?

Day 4184

 Turns out there’s a big difference between playing music for a kid and giving them access to music they can play on their own.

Day 4183

 It’s officially the season where homeowners get to play in puddles and it’s a service to the neighbourhood 

Day 4182

 Let the library adventures begin!

Day 4181

 Young Banana: very pleased with herself for how effectively she put me to bed last night, but also very ready to go back to the normal arrangement.

Day 4180

 Those children are extremely effective at putting parents to bed….

Day 4179

Going into the office is dumb, but if you want to pay me to explore the building, by all means, let’s explore.

Day 4178

 Sometimes I wish winter didn’t have so many sequels.

Day 4177

 If you all get out of the car, you’re not just dropping off the library books and picking up one hold. 

Day 4176

 Evil child demands you sing to her, demands you keep singing to her… and then interrupts in the middle of a line to say she’s done with you and wants the other parent now.

Day 4175

 I suspect it is fairly rare for an avid reader to want to read Harry Potter for the first time because she went to a themed birthday party.

Day 4174

 “Are all mammals real?”

Day 4173

 Why is this child always eating my entire face?

And why must she make her stand on the dumbest of hills?
