In one of Parenti's talks he refered to his son (who was still a babe at the time) as a "Red Diaper Baby". I thought it was amusing. Just trying it out.
Anyway folks, how's the fam? How are you?

Got to clear the shed out because were getting the roof replaced since its leaking really bad. I get Fridays off over the summer and that's ended now. Work is hitting crunch time as teachers come back from summer vacation. Had bees make a nest right next to the stoop of the house, had someone come out to deal with it. Kid2 is getting tubes in this week. Kid1 was not feeling well last night, slept in bed with her last night because she kept waking up. Kid2 still not sleeping through the night. I'm fucking beat y'all.
Doc was saying sometimes kids who get tubes end up sleeping better, because any fluid they might have in their ears makes them uncomfortable because it can be painful. Man I hope that helps him.
😴
I had tubes in my ears twice as a kid but i only remember stuff like the hospital and getting ice cream not whether i slept better
My kid's trying to shed their nap and it's a tough transition for my partner who is used to a little break during the day. Not to mention the fact that the kid clearly needs the nap and so they get cranky as all hell in the afternoon
Oh I dread the day when the naps end. We call it "Quiet Time" which I hope can transition from naps to chill music and independent play. That way we still get that chill period of the day.
It's very not fun, but early bed times have been nice. We've had problems with them sleeping the whole night ourselves
How much earlier are they going to bed? We wouldn't be surprised if our toddler drops her nap earlier than is typical.
