Kid2: Iโ€™m 6

Kid1: Iโ€™m 5!

Kid2: Iโ€™m 6!

Rudolph gets all the love, so letโ€™s talk about the names of Santaโ€™s other reindeer.

dasher | noun | one that dashes
dancer | noun | one that dances
prancer | noun | one that walks or moves in a spirited manner

Ok, those three are easy to understand.

My kid staging an action-packed drama instead of sleeping:

Also my kid in her best clutch-my-pearls voice:

Random reason to be up in the middle of the night:

Kiddo is upset the Gabbyโ€™s Dollhouse movie is over because sheโ€™s missing her new fav movie. Conversation somehow morphed into if thereโ€™s going to be a phones movie & if phones can move in real life & how can they cut the red wire w no hands ๐Ÿคฃ

Introducing a new yogurt to my kiddo

My kiddo: Yuck! This is not good.

Me: What?! Let me try thatโ€ฆ

Me: Well this is what you call, an โ€œacquired tasteโ€.

My kiddo (with the quickness): I donโ€™t like acquired tastes

The evolution of teaching your kid the โ€œKnock Knockโ€ joke Stage 5

Kiddo, disappointed in your decreased enthusiasm at the Interrupting ๐Ÿฎ Knock, Knock decides to try her luck on a fresh audience of plentiful aunties. Aunties oblige beautifully. Full belly laughs every time!
