Daily #2,514! Teach your small child to journal and enjoy writing down all your crimes on their behalf.
Daily #2,507! Speech therapy has been a great way for me to observe how a child in motion stays in motion.
(By which I mean my child. My child can't stop; won't stop.)
I know it's been ages so it's not so daily but it's the only way I know how to label these. 😎😭

I sent an ask many months ago about how I was also feeling the struggles of being a new parent; the newer comic of "Toddler asks for Specific Dinner before they say I Don't Like This" is so freaking relatable. New papa to new mama, hang in there for the sake of our lovely little monsters!
Haha it's amazing how fast she went from "I'm willing to try anything" to "these few things are my favorite and I don't want anything else" 😂😭 They gotta practice that power of choice...within reason. Because no way am I cooking multiple dinners! LOL
(Also, sorry if I missed a past ask -- I wasn't on Tumblr much for a while. OOPS.)
Daily #2,497! She will protest until the very last second. 😤

Daily #2,482! Here we are trying various angles pointing the remote at the TV while galaxy brain baby is over here like, “Don’t even LOOK at the TV!”
Daily #2,478!
Baby: *accomplishes simple task*
Me, crying: “Holy shit.”
Daily #2,472! Lesson learned: do not challenge the baby.
Daily #2,464! Someday Oliver will realize she’s here to stay. Maybe when she’s old enough to actually pet him and not just grab him. 🤷🏻♀️
Daily #2,463! Too curious for her own good if you ask me. 😳😬
