There’s a few months where they’ve figured out how to pull themselves up but don’t have the balance for walking yet. Now, every grownup is a walker.
Trying to give my kids the tools to deal with their mom’s inability to leave them alone. I’m sure this isn’t going to come back to bite me in the ass.
It’s not life threatening, so I get to rest. Parent Survival.
For the first time, your baby doesn’t stay where you put them, and all bets are off.
During the pandemic you could be with the pregnant lady but you couldn’t leave and come back. You could leave, but they weren’t letting anyone in who wasn’t already there in the begging. So if parents didn’t have someone to be home with kid or animal or whatever, the mom was on her own at the hospital. Viv was born two years ago in 2021 and there was enough restrictions lifted that my mom was able to come watch Liz while Obby and I were in the hospital. We did have to stay masked the entire time, which was hard to stay on top of. Covid was fucking up so many pregnant ladies, they were not messing around.
My mom will buy kids books with the kids name in it. So “Liz” has a bunch of books with her name in it. We were reading one that had a little sister of “Liz” and I asked her what her little sisters name was and she said the name from the book. We then tried to figure out what the long version of “viv” should be. Obby really was researching on his phone while I was packed up and trying to leave the hospital.
It took us forever to figure out what her name should be for the comic because we were trying to find something that was short (to fit into word balloon text) and was similar to “Liz” because we get the girls names mixed up all the time.
I kinda did this comic before because the newborns do this! “oh, what nice cool air on my bum. How relaxing. Think I’ll just let loose riiiight…. …. …. …. now.”
I did re-use the drawing of the changing table because it IS the same changing table… nothing to do with laziness. nope.
