Molly’s “Why?” questions aren’t limited to just us parents.
Today she stopped right in front of a jogger and asked: Entschuldigung, hallo, why you running?

The dirtier baby’s hands are, the more likely is he to grab your phone while you aren’t watching.
Happy hour starts at 1 a.m.

Complicated sleeping arrangments
What an exciting night with various sleeping arrangements!
Jay and I in the big bed, Benny and I on the sofa, Benny and I in the big bed, Jay on the sofa, Molly, Benny and I all in the big bed and finally, very awake Benny and I in Molly’s bed!
Also, a prostitute sleeping in our campervan after her surgery!
Although I’m pretty sure I dreamt that part.
Creative chaos
I asked Molly to play for a bit while I put Benny to sleep. Next time I’ll just turn the TV on.
