My current parenting strategy
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.
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.
Normalize getting soaked from poor planning
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.
