Baby has norovirus and has been vomitting all day. Send prayers that I somehow miraculous avoid catching it even though he has vomited on me and then wanted to be held to sleep with his face breathing directly into mine

Was NOT prepared for how 💔 I'd feel to hear an older kid yell at my toddler, "You can't play with me!" Baby had been excitedly chasing a remote control car this kid and other older kids were playing w in the playground. The 6 yr old stopped baby and said "*You're* not allowed to chase it!"

It is terrible when you have fixed your jetlag but your toddler has not 😩 Signed, a former night owl and mom of a toddler who has woken up for the last week at 2am, 3:30am, 4:30am, 5:30am and FINALLY TODAY at 6am

My 2 year old is learning his numbers and alphabet and every day he points to 0s and Os asking me "zero? O? Zero? O?" And while I explain that it's a zero when it's a number but an O when it's a letter, I realize this is the beginning of a lot of absurd language things I'm going to have to explain

Having listened to Baby Shark now hundreds and hundreds of times, I must say that the surprise POV change in the second to last verse is quite genius. We spend the entire song following the sharks, in their POV, meeting the whole family, going hunting with them...

My child has his last day of temporary preschool today and his teachers cried when he left. He was like, meh. Then at 9 pm he wanted to go find his preschool teacher and started sobbing when we reminded him we had said goodbye already. The whole thing broke my heart 😭

I opened a new bottle of gorilla super glue to glue back together my kid's brand new vehicle toy he broke and it exploded over my hand and now I guess I have to live with hard scabs of glue over my fingers til my epidermis decides to shed itself

Finished my last tour event a couple days ago and now get to bask in the glory of running around in circles with my toddler while listening to Baby Shark at 1.5x speed. It's been a crazy, amazing couple of weeks and I am so grateful. But also happy to be home.

My photos memories cruelly showing me how 4 years ago, I bought a bottle of champagne and toasted that fucker's departure from the WH and cried with relief. I can't fking believe he's back, like a fucking roach
