My kids were part of the Italian cultural centers welcome party for the Italian Air Force precision teams arrival in Sacramento yesterday
They’ll dance at the airshow this weekend.
It was a once in the lifetime experience yesterday

Re: Kids
First 3 days have kicked our butts. I've maybe clocked 10-12 hours of sleep since Tuesday morning. Wife even less. Definitely a much more colicky baby than our first by quite a bit. It's really nice being home with the whole family though even with the circumstances of my job looming over it all. Wouldn't trade this exhausting time for anything.
This second kid is likely to convert me to a full time coffee drinker after nothing else could for 38 years.

Re: Kids
Tbh our almost 3 year old has never actually "slept through the night" either. But it was tolerable. The oldest daughter has a cold now too so she has been up coughing most of the night. I think last night I slept from about 8 to 9 pm. Been up since.

Late Night BDW Posters just got a new member. Welcome to Insomnia City.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: Kids
My oldest made his high school JV soccer team!
Super proud of the kid because he took on a new position (Goalie) a year ago and made a huge leap in skill and talent over the last six months. His Spring travel team won their league and postseason tourney and he was so good (shutouts in 7 games including two in the tourney, one being a 1-0 clean sheet in the final), but then he spent the summer getting his game and his body in even better shape for tryouts and it paid off.
I wanted this so bad for him. But even better, he wanted it so bad for himself. And he did it. I’m struggling to put into words just how proud I am of him.

The highlight of my watching my kids play soccer was watching them eat grass during their games!

Re: Kids
My kid is barely 3 and I'm worried how much smarter she is than me already. You can read a book to her one time and a week later she will remember it word for word even though she can't actually read. Speaking of reading...she has most of the basic skills for pre reading down and I think she will be able to read before she's 4.
Also...she randomly described the water cycle (rain, clouds, evaporation whatever) perfectly to me yesterday out of nowhere with a like 5th grade science understanding. No clue where she got it from...

Re: Kids
Just got a call from the principal, apparently at lunch recess, my 10yo used the Heimlich maneuver on a classmate and “saved their life” (principals words, not mine)
I’m impressed that she actually listened to us when talking/teaching about this in the house, then applied it.
I’m very proud of her. She’s a great, kind, smart kid. I can’t wait to hear from her what happened and how she worked through it and how she’s feeling…

Re: Kids
Thanks everyone!
Spoke with her last night and she told me the story.
She was processing all last night, and kept saying she knew what was going to happen if it didn’t come out.
She also said “don’t tell (first grade sister) cause she’ll tell everyone and it not our story to tell, it’s (my classmates)”
I thought that was really cool and probably what I’m most proud of in addition to how she handled the event itself.

One of the reasons I chose to be childless was based on not trusting the virtues of someone who would have me as a father.

Re: Kids
Tonight, my three-year-old, who is assuredly already smarter than me, had a banger. She was giving one of her standard monologues on any given topic she is interested in; in this case, animals and their sleep patterns. I decided to ask her where do fish sleep? Without hesitation, she said, "In the water, daddy."
What came next was one for the ages.
She said, "Daddy did you know fish fart in their sleep?". I go, "Uh, no?"
She then says, "Yeah, like this! And rips a massive fart."
I've never been so proud. The timing and essence of the entire build-up were magnificent.

Funny enough, I nearly puked from laughing from a fart tonight too. But it was Gary Oldman’s character in Slow Horses.
So basically your daughter is flatulent Gary Oldman reincarnated.
