It’s very noticeable. But my step son is glued to my wife. It’s like teams in our house. The thing that sucks is me and the wife went through a rough patch in the fall. She’s amazing now and we’ve grown so much closer and gotten really affectionate and now my son is extremely jealous. It sucks. He cock blocks me all the time.
Laughed out loud at Bluey the other day. “Remember how I told you were the most special kid in the whole world?” “yeah” “well you’re not. Maybe to me and your mom but the rest of the world doesn’t think so”
My youngest is right at the height that when she runs into me to hug me, she headbutts me right in the junk. Got me good this AM.
Pray for me guys. Daughter turns 8 and doing a birthday sleepover. Think we’re going to have around 6-8 kids staying the night after the party. It’s going to be a long night.
Man, godspeed I can't imagine our (recently turned) 8 year old would last the night sleeping at someone else's house. Hopefully power in numbers will help and you won't be dealing with late night running kids home
Had one of the most iconic kid moments. My daughter is usually pretty risk adverse when it comes to climbing up on stuff and falling over. But just now I was in the office for one minute trying to cancel my debit card, since I lost it, and find out I have to call the bank. As soon as I start to dial I hear a large *SLAM* followed by 10 minutes of crying and a huge welt forming on her forehead.
Kids didn’t go to sleep until 2:30. They woke up around 7 full of energy to play. Parents picked them all up by 10. Needless to say we have no energy but made it through.
Levi just did a smash and grab on the Apple Tv remote. I think it is comical, wife is furious. Somehow she thinks now the tv is broken, along with the HDMI cords. I told her that it is an Apple TV issue as he can not break physical items by pushing buttons on an Apple TV remote, unless it is the Apple tv remote.
4 year old "stole" a pack of M&Ms from Lowes yesterday. Kept telling him no in the self checkout line. Wasn't totally paying attention then as we are about to the car I see him carrying them. Took them back. Explained why we don't/can't do that and that that kind of stuff can get you arrested and put in jail. "But I can't go to jail I'll miss my mommy"
Careful with him purchasing stuff without you knowing it. Wife was giving the kids our amazon fire remote to play with and he purchased a movie, she didn't think that could happen unless the fire interface was up on the tv.
Paw Patrol honestly isn't bad. The best part about it is there's already 8 seasons, unlike some shows like Dino Ranch and Spidey where you have to watch the same damn episodes over and over again. My wife and I get a kick out how stupid everyone on Paw Patrol is and will sometimes make bets on who needs rescued on the next episode. Hint: 90% of the time its the mayor or Turbot.
my oldest loves Miraculous: Ladybug and it's not THAT bad compared to the other stuff she wants to watch. son loves Spidey but agree I need more seasons. Bluey is definitely the best. "I've done me hammy" is an all-time quote in my house. I'll always have a soft spot for the Wiggles too.
I thought the Paw Patrol movie's opening scene did a pretty funny job of making fun of its whole premise
Anyone with potty-training aged girls ever have your dtr insists on standing? So my dtr has now TWICE insisted on "using my penis," standing in front of the toilet and to my amazement, found a way to position her urethra so she arcs that stream with better precision than I can. Doesn't spill a drop. Just kinda curious if that's something people have encountered. Not worried about anything, if anything, it's a pretty cool trick
My 3 and half year old peed standing up for the first time. He was so pumped afterward and gave me a running high five. Proud Dad moment.
I have a new appreciation of newborn cuddles now that I’m experiencing the chaotic energy of a toddler
Mine yesterday started saying DADA and MAMA over the weekend and can differentiate between us. Wife sent video after I left for work last night him yelling DADADADAADADADADA.
She said he's already figured out when one of of isn't paying attention he yells each respective name. I woke up yesterday afternoon to him yelling maamaamaamaamuuuuuummmmmmuuuuummmm because she was washing bottles.
I literally only felt Levi kick one time. Any time I put my hand on wife’s belly he immediately stopped.
Yea I witnessed it more than felt it. Same with me anytime I put my hand on the belly he calmed down.
Plenty of nights where I had to put my hand on her belly so she could sleep because he was moving so much.
