Molly’s quite a brave girl. She’s a bit scared of heights, she’s not a big fan of swings and she doesn’t like the sight of blood. Today I also found out that she’s scared of the weather getting colder because then I be a mountain and I be no Molly anymore and I be scared and have no arms!
It admittedly is a scary image: Molly the mountain, without arms. I hope it doesn’t get much colder.
Girls night out
You know you’re a parent when you go out on a Saturday night and find a dummy and a pack of Baby Bell cheese in the pocket of your jacket.
I have a feeling I’ll be very happy when I rediscover that cheese on my way back home. I hope I won’t need the dummy.
Our car is filthy and this is why
I always say that our car’s full of trash because we have kids. To be honest, all of it is mine: coffee cups, candy wrappers, used tissues, receipts and bills. So I guess it’s fair to say that our car’s full of trash because we have me.
Who’s dirtier than our kid?
The only child dirtier than our daughter today was our daughter from three days ago.
Salty mouth
-Would you like some water?
-No, I don’t have salt in my mouth.
Free style painting
I asked Molly to use a brush and only to paint on paper but when she asked me why, I realised there was no reason. I was just being very lazy. So I told her to whatever makes her happy. Bath time was rewarding.
Missing mama. Not.
-I really, really missed you, Molly.
-I know mama.
Being a parent means… II.
Being a parent means patiently watching someone do a shitty job at the simplest task and praising them for it.
Toddler meltdown
Some of the things that made Molly upset this afternoon:
1. Cinderella didn’t appear on the screen as soon as I put the TV on
2. I jokingly pretended to put her pajamas on Benny
3. She wanted me to cool her milk down in the microwave
4. I told her I wouldn’t drag her bed into the kitchen
Toddlers are like homeless people
In some ways Molly’s a lot like a crazy homeless person: she collects trash when we’re out on the walk, she pees and poos in public places and she’ll only take a bath if someone runs it for her. In addition to this, I’m just witnessing her stuffing her face with yesterday’s cold rice from a styrofoam delivery box.
