My daughter has been experimenting with her own versions of “easy, peezy, lemon squeezy” and today she said “easy, crazy, mountain skeleton” and that’s gonna be tough to beat

The kids were asking me what time they were all born and I said the youngest was born at 1:29am, and they all agreed that it must have been nice that she just came out while I was sleeping.

One nice thing about childcare is it helps uncover your children’s scams. My 3yo, who always insists I cut up her sandwiches, looked like I’d caught her hosting a kegger when I walked in to find her taking a big bite of a whole grilled cheese.

I just told my daughter, “It’s 11:11 make a wish!” To which she replied, “My wish is that you go to the eye doctor because it’s 11:17.”

Her: Mine will probably be close though because I've watched a lot more Bob Ross than you.
Me: Oh.
Took my daughter to Disney land and after spending an exhausting day doing rides and gift shops we asked her what her favorite part was and she said “the bus was pretty cool”. The bus ride. To get into the park. That was her favorite.

as a dad: hiding in the shed drinking cold craft beer
Took Ben (14 months) to the doctor today bc he hurt his finger (he will be OK ❤️) and he was amazingly chill about it. When the doctor held out a gloved hand to examine Ben's hand, Ben stared at him for a moment and then solemnly laid a fistful of cheerios in the doctor's palm.
