T, it took you one day to learn how to sleep in. 🤣

One day!

I mean, what in the world?

One day. 24 hours!

Since we laid you in your crib the first time, you have yelled across the house for us when you wanted to get up.

You hear the house begin to stir. You wake up. And then you yell at us to come and get you.

We have virtually NEVER had to come in and get you up.

But we moved you from your crib to a double bed and in one night you stopped this charade.

If I am being honest, we even had a bit of trouble prying you out of bed in time for school…

It’s like you suddenly realized the bed is warm and comfortable and that you prefer to sleep in – if given the choice.

Honestly, me too.

I love you.

Welp, we took y’alls crib down this weekend.

It was time and needed to be done, but it was still not easy.

All of you spent 3-4 years in that thing.

It’s been up for over 11 years and still had H’s teeth marks on it.

What made it a little easier was that we waited so long.

I mean, if T is throwing sarcasm and talking about learning what decimals are at the Montessori school…

I don’t know – maybe it’s time she didn’t sleep in a crib. 🤣

Anyway, the move was a hit.

H has a larger bed and K and T got to rearrange their room to their liking.

Maybe we will have a different house one day.

But this one holds my favorite memories.

I love you.

No one tells you as a parent that you will have conversations like this.

But here we are.

H and K, y’all were using the word “anus” incorrectly a few days ago.

And a little too freely, in my opinion.

One hit the other and one of you said, “Don’t touch my anus.”

More slaps were exchanged, and the other one screamed, “Get your hand off my anus.”

I made you both stop, calm down, and sit with me on the couch.

Trying to keep a straight face, I told you to stop hitting each other and that, that, is not what “anus” means.

You both looked confused.

I said that the “anus” is not the entire rear end, it’s only the hole.

It’s just the butthole.

In a flash y’alls eyes got big, turned quickly to make eye contact with each other, and burst out in historical laughter.

Sometimes I feel like an awesome dad and sometimes I have no idea what I am even doing.

I love you.
