My best friend has a dog named Bagel who sleeps in a crate and I found out today they call the crate her TOASTER

You are not a pot pie if you don’t have a bottom crust. You are a cup of stew with a fancy hat, pretending you belong, and all the real pot pies are laughing at you.

My 2yo just said, word for word (and I confirmed it), “playing with friends, two doggies named Pupienne and Hornk.” Zero context.

So we’re definitely knocking it out of the park on both language development and creativity here.

Caught myself saying “when I get married” the other day…. I’ve been married for almost 4 years. I have a child. When will it feel real?

My baby (almost 2) has achieved a truly unparalleled summer existence today by demanding a popsicle, then eating it sitting in the flowerbed watching the bees like television, while we listen to Queen.

a wild raccoon visited my backyard today in broad daylight! It sauntered down some stairs, stopped dead when it saw us witnessing its extremely non-nocturnal activities, then slunk off away down the side of the house in shame.

Four toddlers speaking four different languages at the park today. Super cool to think I’m raising a kid in such a multicultural environment.

My baby just started calling animals by their actual names instead of the sound they make (so crows are no longer caws, dogs are no longer woo-woos, and owls are owls instead of hoos) and I’m simultaneously very proud and also like “wait go back”

[Jessie BC @ettrix]

Oh no, my baby has reached the “sticking random thing in my ears is hilarious, actually” phase

I genuinely believe tulips have gotten more beautiful in the last four years. I never used to care about them, but now every April I go around overwhelmed almost to tears with aesthetic pleasure over tulips, like some gay Dutchman in 1634

Midnight goose fight, a phrase which describes what is happening outside my window, would be a fucking sick album name

@trannydevito_ fun fact: I knew about pasta sauce for a squid's age before I saw a video of pasta sauce dancing at a wedding and realized he was FLOPPY and it somehow made him more upsetting

Pros and cons of exceedingly tall 99th percentile baby:

Pro: I do not have to stoop when handholding!

Con: we cannot receive hand-me-down shoes from our 4yo neighbor because their feet are the SAME SIZE

i planted 3 blueberry bushes and then accidentally stepped on and probably killed one. 😬

so my baby has grasped the concept of feeding birds (ducks, crows) but has not grasped the concept of "they don't want you near them" so we are throwing nuts at birds, then picking up said nuts and running toward the birds with arm outstretched.

went to a fabric store needing 8 yards to upholster a chair and was immediately drawn to this gorgeous dappled greeny-silver... only to receive the news that it was just under $300/yard. Burned once again by my refined and costly taste

@naominovik That's Mediterranean Spurge or Mediterranean euphorbia. It's all over Seattle, super common in landscaping around here.
