This was actually someone else. I saw a mom just walking through the parking lot with a flailing kid over her shoulder and another under one arm and she got one into the car and chased down the other. I was thoroughly impressed by her calm. I had to yell across the parking lot my support of her situation.
I have since gone through the house with Draino and a pot of boiling water. But sometimes the sinks just get backed up. The kids sink gets this pink grits build up.
There’s an age when all kids seem to be innately standoffish towards strangers who try and talk to them. I encourage this. Great survival instinct.
All toddler kisses come with a lipstick ring of snot.
My mom used the fraise “they’re still a part of your skin”. For a while, your kid still feels like a part of your own body. After a point though, they really are rubbing snot on you and it is not alright.
I liked that Hot Fuzz covered some of the paperwork of being a civil servant. Frozen kind of jumped over some of the royal duties.
Kids pick up on some weird concepts to explore.
Just because they can do it by themselves doesn’t always mean it’s a good idea.
It really is just a blink but holy hell that baby part lasts an eternity.
I’ve got a friend who had a kid a year after me and then her second just dropped so now we’re trading clothes back and forth. Yeah, baby clothes are cheep, but you’re buying entirely new wardrobes every six months.
We use my phone to watch a lot of Alexis Nikole, the black forager, and she now understands the ‘like’ button.
