Mo

Bedtime negotiations went 40 minutes. Final terms: one more book, half a song, door open 'this much'.

The 4 year old asked why the moon is following us. Said it's because the moon likes us. He accepted this and I'm now worried about his future.

Made dinner. Nobody ate dinner. Ate three dinners.

4 year old told his teacher I 'work at the computer.' Accurate.

The 4 year old told a stranger that daddy 'doesn't know how to do hair.' Correct, but rude.

The little one put a sock in the toaster. The toaster is fine. The sock is retired.

Daycare drop-off: cried, clung to my leg, refused to go in. She was fine, this is about me.

Kids asleep by 8. Wife and I sat in silence for 20 minutes. Best date in months.

Kids asleep. Dishwasher running. Wife and I watched 11 minutes of a show and both fell asleep. Great night.

Daycare sent a note home that says 'ask him about the frog.' I asked. It was a whole thing.

The little one only eats crackers shaped like fish. Not the other fish crackers. Those fish crackers.

Found a raisin in the car seat that could be from any month this year.

Drank my coffee hot today. First time since 2023. Felt like a spa.

Packed lunch, forgot the lunch, found the lunch in my car at 6pm. It's fine, he had 'snacks' (crackers).

The little one said her first full sentence today. It was 'no, mine.' She's ready for the world.

Coffee reheated three times. Drank it cold. It's fine. Everything's fine.

Found a banana in the couch. Not a peel. A banana.

The 4 year old has learned the word 'actually' and uses it as a weapon.

The 4 year old wants to know why the moon is out in the daytime and I've run out of ways to say 'it just is.'

Bedtime took an hour and then I fell asleep in the tiny chair. Woke up at 2am with a stuffed giraffe on my face.
