5 and 7? Metro. They’ll love it and it’s cheap. Doesn’t matter where it’s going. Then a candy shop. They’ll talk about the trip for years.

they are 5 and 7

watch Frozen with them and they'll be thrilled there

Ooh, watch Ratatouille then show them the relative landmarks. They’ll explode.

Side note… the Ratatouille rode at Disney World is off the chain.

I almost puked

[Matt]

Yeah it was great.

Boys been off school today as his front teeth are coming through woke us all up at 2am and that was him awake till 5 pm
To say we are all shattered is an understatement not to mention the extortionate cost of a tooth fairy these days

@Matt true

How to get those sick knee fades:
Step 1: acquire baby
Step 2: put on jeans
Step 3: teach the baby acquired in Step 1 to walk

@EdH nice socks

[ARNC]

@EdH Step 4: try to hide the indigo stripes on the carpet?

Also wondering if there’s a potential market in hiring out babies to slow faders.

[EdH]

@ARNC Or a market in fading jeans for people who don’t have a reason to get on their knees very often?

[jerkules]

@EdH I blew through the knees of so many pairs during this phase. Also the next parenting phase of parks and softplays does wonders for fading jeans

[Brian]

I have a pair of railcar denim that almost have white knees due to this period in our sons life luckily we had a darker mat so didn’t see if any indigo transferred

Not going to lie, I had to look up what a quetzal was. Whatever was wrong with “Q is for Queen”?

[Matt]

… and Y is for Yaaasss!

[popvulture]

God save the quetzal!

So tonight I’m flicking through this book

It’s Jacobs bed time so we start to go up to bed and he turns round and says “dad why are you reading Fock that’s delicious” however the pronunciation makes both myself and the wife question what he has said

His response was
“ did you think I replaced the O with a U ?, I know my swear words mummy and dad”
Didn’t really know whether to laugh ( I did ) or be in shock

I’ve been reading to Nikki’s belly at night, bedtime stories to get Mushie (what we’ve named our unborn) familiar with my voice. I’m new to parenting, so I’m not sure if it’s too early to be introducing baby to technology, but I got them their first mobile phone….
