Finley’s early nap was later partially partially because he’s a punk and partially because he had a poopsplosion right as we were planning to put him down…these always happens right when you want to do something else. I found myself in a situation I never would have imagined pre-kids. Washing clothes in the toilet…weird, but genius? I then began to wonder if there’s a weird subreddit where child caretakers share weird hacks they have, but when I searched I just find compilation images of folks doing funny stuff with their kids…Anyone else have good tips or hacks?
Headed out to run a few errands with Finley today. I feel somewhat guilty because Finley doesn’t go out as much as P did and I think as a result as more anxiety around strangers. We went to the market to grab some avocados and I promptly forgot the coupon and to buy yogurt. He also had a nap that was totally off so we had very little time to go out and then rush back for lunch. He will randomly grab stuff and has a strong grip so I have to constantly check he didn’t knock something over or is squishing produce if I put him too close to stuff. We also made a run to the doctor’s lab for some blood tests. He was not a fan.
Weekend was good and we enjoyed Mother’s Day by spending some time outside. Preston had a rare treat when we went to Somi Somi for taiyaki and soft serve. He normally plays with his toys and “cooks” us food, but recently he’s been making ice cream topped with strawberry with fish and yaki so I think it left an impression.
