lol, guess I walked right into that one. Going to the playground with one's OWN toddler and watching them climb shit and run around and trip is deeply gratifying. Better?

I looked into kinder gym recently but there is this huge annual insurance fee with every place and there is no discount on it for starting half way through the year. We don't have a lot space for it in our place. I will revisit the idea next year, assuming she is still alive.
kek. The falls are part of the fun. I mean, how else does one learn? My boy is totally fearless too but I've let him take a few spills and he's definitely benefited from it. I love when he gets angry that he can't do something the first time. Usually he'll hulk out and try again. I'll usually give him just a bit of help the second time but only if he's trying his hardest and still failing.
Have two boys under 5. Youngest is starting to form words, but oldest would make his own words when he couldn't say the correct one himself (tumpink instead of pumpkin).
Youngest is now our alarm clock...manages to wake up 5 minutes before our alarms...no matter when the alarm is set.
But they sure are adorable when they're not having a meltdown!

When my first was born I spent a lot time fantasing about how good of a mother I will be when I get grandkids.
"I'll hold the baby if you need a rest but if you're okay there I'm just going to do the dishes while I wait for that load of laundry I put on to finish. I brought some lasanga for dinner but let me know if you want me to make you a snack."
Pro-tip for dealing with toddlers. Squat or kneel when you talk to them so they can look at your face at their level. Ask them or warn them that you are going pick them up. I currently have a great grand daughter that just turned 3. We're giants to them, it's intimidating for someone 4-5 times their size to stand over them talking at them, or just snatching them up.
Don't put them within reach of each other when they are eating. Tell the 4 year old life isn't always fair and stop being a spoilt brat, or send them off to Marine bootcamp.

I've been doing that stuff from day 1. People think it's stupid but it helps babies to tell them what is going on - "I'm going to pick you up, im just taking off your pants, nappy off now, bum up, wet wipe on bum incoming" etc.
Also it feels weird talking to the top of someone's head, and it would be painful to strain your neck up all the time.
It is scary, 2 boys, 1 girl. The boys will find their way, and with guidance it's going well. The girl I go overboard on to make sure she never turns to the bullshit society expects of them now days.
She's prepubescent, and knows what to look for, what to avoid. We talk, not a lot, but enough for her to know the expectations. Do it too much and I feel they'll reject them outright, too little and they won't care.

"Kangaloo" is up there with "wuv oo".
Haha mine used do that thing of waking up just before the alarm. Now she wakes up just as I'm starting to fall asleep!

I would slaughter every last sandnigger, chickennigger, yellownigger, homedepotnigger, and jew, to save them if it was a path forward and achievable.
