Day 2264

Chinchilla keeps surprising me with all the things he knows. He’s turning into a pretty good little communicator.

C: Bye! Later!
Me: Bye! See you later!
C: Alligator!

Day 2263

I’ve already started teaching my kids about consent. Apparently I should have started with my coworkers.

Day 2262

Upside: bonus snuggle time with my sweet girl on her birthday.
Downside: poor Lizard is very sick for her birthday again.

Day 2261

And on the eve of her fourth birthday, Lizard turned our house into a vomitorium.

Day 2260

My three year old asks more thoughtful interesting questions than a bunch of the people I work with. While both groups are terrible at listening when they don’t feel like it, at least Lizard listens to the answer when she asks a question.

Day 2259

When you have two kids who are sick, tired, dramatic and overwrought it seems to be a rule that they will always most want to play with the toy the other kid is holding.

Day 2258

Absorbing the extra snuggles from the sick kiddos, brushing away the rest.
