Okay. He just came over and smashed it. It's not cute anymore. -_-

Why is my 3.5 year old running through the house in hysterical tears?

Why, a piece of his muffin stayed on the wrapper when it was removed, of course!

Ooh my six year old is continuing to eat a spicy soup, "as long as [her] water is nearby."

Surprisingly, I am okay at the prospect of sharing my spicy foods with her.

"Caffeine doesn't effect me." I lie to myself as I drink the last bit of coffee at 9pm and stare at the clock at 3am

If I can get these kids to fall asleep without me also falling asleep, it would be a good night for some rage cleaning.

I'm sorry to anyone this upsets, but honestly, every Elf on the Shelf "prank" I see posted online just makes me to happy that we do not do that in my household.

Having three kids is hesitating before saying a child's correct name because you usually say the wrong one first.

The rumours are true. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen... has indeed happened...

There has to be some sort of radar installed in older siblings that detects when their baby sibling is about to fall asleep in mom's arms and directs them to walk in the room.

Sometimes I stare at my two month old and wonder if it's just because he's usually snuggled up tight or if he just has freakishly long arms when he stretches them out?

@aarongnear @karengillan Me, too! I really thought after the first time the announcer said it wrong that someone would have informed them, but it kept happening!

I am not affiliated with MotorCityComicCon other than I live in MI & attend when I can, but I would like to apologize to @karengillan for the repeated mispronouciation of your name & misspelling in the program. Please do not let that deter you from attending in the future.

@jdunbar3 Also, I showered, so maybe he's not used to me smelling clean haha!

It's amazing how my newborn seems to know when I've put on clean clothes - promptly spits up and pees on me.

@jdunbar3 Amazing instincts!

I don't mean to brag, but I'm one week post-partum and I'm already back to wearing regular underwear instead of disposable.

If someone that I worked with was leaving for maternity leave, I would give them a card or something for the baby to wish them farewell. What does it say about how your coworkers feel about you if they did absolutely nothing on your last day of work?

Interesting observation: upon getting married, having 1 kid, having a 2nd kid, the question is, "when are you going to have (more) children?" Upon the 3rd pregnancy, the question shifts to, "how many more are you going to have?"

Watching #TheSandman has brought back many memories of reading the graphic novels in high school. And then I start thinking about how the heck did my parents let me read those in high school!!

5 year old to 2 year old: "You're so cute!!"
2 year old: "I am so cute! Thank you!"
