Thank you to @thelabandfield.bsky.social and @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social for a wonderful bird walk this morning! Lil’ Sam also had a great time and we may make a birder of him yet (but his heart still belongs to the fish)

my 1 year old speaks very confidently considering 99% of it is gibberish - however, the other day she dropped something off her highchair and it sounded exactly like she shouted "AAAHHH SHIT!!!" and I could not stop laughing
