Day 2204

Filling the bath with buckets and sawing wood so you can heat the house sure makes you appreciate modern life. But it’s nice knowing you can do it.

Day 2203

If it weren’t for the fact that sleeping in the car seems to give her nightmares, I think Lizard would be pretty happy doing road trips basically all the time. And she doesn’t even know she can watch movies in the car yet!

Day 2202

Turns out our tiny humans suck at sleeping in the car.

Also, moose adjusters. Moose adjusters adjusting your car into oblivion.

Day 2200

Entertaining an almost four year old in the car for hours is much easier than entertaining a one and a half year old.

Day 2199

That feeling when you go for a run even though it is cold and miserable out.... and end up 0.07km shy of your goal. AAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

Also, Lizard cried when I took the elastics out of her hair because apparently her hair isn’t beautiful anymore when it’s not in braids.

Also, Chinchilla gave me one of his most ridiculous pouts when I suggested he could stay sitting on the toilet while I grabbed a clean diaper. Nope, apparently not an option.

Day 2198

Lizard is much more enthusiastic about helping her brother than he is about receiving her assistance. But this morning he was willing to go along with her when she decided to dress him.

“Come sit on my lap.” Which he did, only then she couldn’t see or reach to do much because she’s only a little bigger than he is.

“Remember, the tag goes at the back!”

“No, that leg goes in the other hole! What a silly little boy!”

Day 2197

 When you say ‘No!’ forcefully enough that your kid is startled and freaked out and needs to come sob in your arms... until they calm down enough to realize that you’re the mean one and have to switch to sobbing in the other parent’s arms...
