My little one is almost 3 and they’re talking so well it’s honestly heartwarming. Our cat is going into heat (we will spay after she’s finished) and so is doing a lot of yowling. Little buddy goes “what’s the matter, are you hurt?” (Okay more like ‘wunsa manner. Are you heeuurrt?’)
So cute the cats ok but you’re so sweet. If i cough after coming back in from vaping i get asked “dada are otay?” Like how are you already so nice lol
I’ve been introducing please w/ sign language + verbal for our 1+ year old and he’s picking it up fast. His little attempt at please and more are very cute. Our oldest (almost 4) gave me the ✌️👀🫵 (I got my eyes on you) hand signal today randomly and it was very funny. She said her friends at daycare do it. Kids are something else lol.
My partner took our 3-year-old to their cardiologist this week. They did amazing. First time ever lying still for an ECG. Took 30 seconds. We haven’t even “practiced” at home in a few months. Didn’t cry once and didn’t complain once about wearing a mask. I think they were showing off. Doctor said everything is fine, they have a strong heart. We’re moving to annual visits, which has us feeling “😳!!!” but it’s actually a good thing. My partner treated 3yo to ice cream. Piglet was almost left in the parking lot! Thankfully someone picked him up. Ever since 3yo has been playing a little joke on us where they drop Piglet around the house and say, “You dropped your pig,” in a really deep voice. 10/10 comedy gold.
1-year-old is becoming such a little person. They’re talking up a storm now. When they get upset they say, “Paci, Softy, snuggle, couch.” Food continues to be a struggle because they only want to feed themselves. About 10% of all their food actually makes it into their mouth. The rest is evenly spread around the house. Funny when they find random clumps of peanut butter in the stuff pile. Not so funny when I find strawberry in my bed.
The wild washer women is asurprisingly based kids book. They don’t like the conditions of their employment so they withhold their labour, use their strength from washing to overcome law enforcement, become a roaming militia doing property damage, then choose to marry some woodcutters and start an anarcho primitive commune in the woods.
The weather finally isn’t a billion degrees outside here so we went for a bike ride. It started pouring while we were riding but I tried to make it a game. Either it worked or my kids like the rain anyways because they had a blast.
