1. Officially a dad?

    ++# Officially a dad?

    Giving up after the 5th try of getting that last piece of curdled milk out of his 4th neck chin.

    Does this mean, I’m officially a dad?

    Time to do as a friend forwarded to me?

  2. “Gold” medal parenting

    “Gold” medal parenting

    She says to me at 1 AM: “I’m so glad I sucked the snot out of our son’s nose… it wasn’t really gross at all.”

    This was a short while after she showed me his boogies in the snot sucker with far more pride than when she showed me her finisher’s medal after her first triathlon.

    Marie finishes her first triathlon

    Apparently, the sucker has a filter in it… or something.

    Rollin’ with his homies

    By the afternoon, with the air quality getting a little better, M— was beyond tired, so Benjamin took took me in his ride, a Chicco KeyFit 30 Caddy, “cruisin’ for some chicks” (his words, of course, not mine). We were going stir-crazy at home anyway.

    Because the warm weather, he wanted to just buckle up and jet and show his rockin’ bod he and mommy have been working on for the last 10 months,…

  6. A keeper

    Clara Health has asked Checkr to run your background check

    One of our current clients requested that we do background checks on individuals. Being on maternity/paternity leave, I’d normally ignore it until later, but Checkr is quite persistent when you ignore them, so I got it off my queue before what-pathetic-excuse-counts-for-sleep last night.

    This morning:
    Not a sex offender!

    I had to announce my relief to…

    Rocky moments in parenting

    image

    Anyone else do the beginning Rocky training montage before changing an especially poopy diaper or is it just me?

    I do it right after I pop open the wet wipes and get out the fresh diapers, but before I start changing. M— always laughs when she sees the air punches.

    If I haven’t been peed on and he isn’t crying by the end…

  8. Time to call the police!

    Time to call the police!

    On our walk yesterday…

    M—: Look at the pretty chalk on the sidewalk, it’s so nice when children do that.

    Me: Yeah…

    sidewalk chalk'd

    Also me: Wait, shouldn’t we be calling the police on them?

    M—: *laughs* Too soon, Terry.

    (Disclosure to present and future employers: I am joking😆. It still boggles my mind that this happened in M—’s old neighborhood. They truly do live among us.)

  10. Russia and COVID

    It wasn’t that long ago that some people were claiming that totalitarian/authoritarians were better at handling COVID-19. That came from counting China and Singapore as such and ignoring South Korea. But a bigger one was basically taking unbelievable numbers at face value: Iran being lower than Italy, Russia only having a single case at the time, India having none.

    Yesterday the top three…
