I let the 2 year old dictate the music while his brother is at school because he misses his older brother. I have now listened to a 1970s album called “big bird leads the band” about 5000 times. I do recommend this album just not 5000 times

very funny to be holding my water glass out of the way of his grabby little hands while he howls “coffee!! coffeeeeee”

extract from the 2 year old’s dictionary:

going to call this “stoop bathing” and become an influencer and make so much money

our back stoop gets tons of afternoon sun and is always 10-15 degrees warmer than the front because it faces the driveway, so if I put on a coat and grab a blanket I can read out there even at this time of year. this is my winter mental health survival plan

during a Zoom call with my in laws, my 4 year old attempted to “read” them Peter Spier’s “Noah’s Ark”, including holding up the pictures to them like he was conducting story time

and getting famous as a “content creator” essentially means you got famous for constant communication and encouraging this parasocial behavior, which just further drives this illusion that all famous people, including artists and athletes, want to talk to you

this is actually the secret to making time for yourself as a busy parent. you gotta put like “read library book” on your to do list and then you’re forced to do it

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk.

get in, no time to explain

was going to buy my bff a cute little door stopper shaped like a hedgehog for her birthday, saved the link ages ago so I would remember, now it’s $45 because I guess it’s made in Germany. tariffs!!!

printing this out and taping it to my Clearblue monitor

ok weird it actually is no longer visible (I haven’t checked in a couple years so idk when it disappeared between 4.5 years ago and now) but I can still feel where it was if i press on the spot (which is why I assumed it was still there). bodies, man!

saw this post and was fully about to pull down my pants to look at mine like reading this had made it magically disappear

when the 4 year old is at preschool the 2 year old mostly just wants to sit directly on top of me

omg I think my sons might also need this

honestly motivates me to vote knowing I’m going to get one of these bad boys

A poem for All Souls’ Day from Jane Kenyon

and kind of have a sweet/salty thing going on…i absconded with all the peanut m&ms my children received as they have no taste for them

everyone needs a relative who appreciates corny shit so they can have someone who is easy to shop for
