6yo and I built bag one of Lego City 60439 Space Science Lab! Props to Lego for the wheelchair Minifig. Unfortunately bags 2-4 will have to wait for the 6yoβs attention span to recharge.
-
My 6yo has cracked the code of why Scooby Doo and the gang never get caught or hurt by the bad guy: βtheyβll never get gotten. Theyβre good at dodging. And running.β

My 6yo is trying to sing O-C-T-O-B-E-R to the tune of Hot To Go and it is very amusing as they can neither spell nor sing π
-
Showed my 6yo "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves".
Later, mom asked what they were watching.
6yo: "Seagulls and Dragons!" π

jogged alongside/behind the #6yo while she biked (at like 5mph), and I reeeally wish I'd worn a mask

A week after that, my wife told me, "I said I wouldn't tell you, but [the #6yo] told me that she keeps switching the labels on the bins. To mess with you."
When I finally lose my marbles, I just want this story in the public record.

Speaking of, I'm supposed to be on my way to Boston right now. But the #6yo threw up at school, so.. yeah. Remember parents: never make plans.
Happily the Amtrak tickets were refundable.

I'm explaining to the #6yo that she can't just go around randomly calling people; that's not what younger generations DO. That's only for older generations (50+ years old). She needs to message first, at least.
She found this upsetting and just wants to call. So hey, maybe that'll make a comeback after Gen Z?

The #6yo found an eye on her shirt as I was brushing her teeth at bedtime. She stuck it on my forehead. I made a mental note to take it off after she was in bed.
I forgot.
Then I went out to the grocery store like this. No one said anything. Maybe because I was wearing a kf94 mask already (although I wasn't the only one there masking; even one of the checkout people had a kn95 on)? Not a peep from anyone over the course of an hour. That's #NYC for ya.
My wife laughed at me when I got home.

*sigh*
I'm guessing by the height of these that it was the #6yo. There's like 30 pairs of these around the house.

@enobacon I originally borrowed my FIL's crappy hardware store soldering iron before I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/YIHUA-Soldering-Conversion-Temperature-Correction/dp/B07SCPZJYS (open box on ebay for $60). I really like it, it's got lots of different tips & the heat gun ended up being really useful for opening up glued phones and other stuff.
I can't remember what I used for holding it. I *wanted* to use the actual tool that I'd bought (https://www.amazon.com/Third-hand-tool-Soldering-Adjustable/dp/B0B31JZT35/ref=) for working on it, but my #6yo stole it. I bought a 2nd and she stole that too.

For the first time ever, my two kids are attending the same school. We *almost* have them on the same bus, too, except the #6yo (who gets car sick) threw up on the bus this morning. *Sigh*
It was her first time on a school bus. Her older brother's been taking buses since like 2018.

When your #6yo asks how to whistle - don't fall for it. It's a trap. You *will* get covered in spit. #parenting

lol the one trick we had for getting the #6yo to school (letting her play on her tablet for 5 mins in the school lobby), she was told by a teacher isn't allowed.
Honestly I'm finding it harder and harder to get mad about her school refusal. NYC DOE suuuuuuucks.

#6yo: "Dad, when will Mom be done?"
me: "I don't know"
6yo: "How do you not know?"
me: "Well, it depends on how long the lawyers take.. "
6yo: "There's short way to say everything."
me: π
me: "Unfortunately lawyers are not very good at saying and writing things in a short way." -
hahaha just kidding, the #6yo played with my soldering stuff and so I don't have the things I need to work on it ARGH
-
Sigh. I needed to get the #6yo off screens ~30 mins ago, but she's doing khan academy math. Like, how am I supposed to stop that with a clean conscience?

My #6yo describing the sound of the box fan CR box: "It reminds me of a big delicious cherry tree, blowing in the wind" π€¨

Explaining batteries to the #6yo:
me: "...and so those little flat round ones are called watch batteries because they put them in.."
6yo: "Do they have 'W' batteries?"
me: "Um, not that I've heard. Anyway, so instead of AA and AAA batteries.."
6yo: "Do they have 'B' batteries?"
me: "I don't know. The.."
6yo: "I like the sound of B batteries."
me: "Mmm-hm"
5yo: "Can we buy some B batteries?"
me: "..."

the #6yo just rolled her foot on a pencil and was like "ow!" (but no crying) and I said, "hm.. and why is there a pencil on the floor?" and my wife responded with, "I feel like I *just* took a poll on this situation" and glared at me π π
-
Shout-out to all the other people waiting in the returns line* at #Macy's who kept shooting me sympathetic glances as my #6yo asked/whined non-stop for 20 mins about buying a toy. Any toy. She didn't even know what she was holding, but she wanted SOMETHING.
* Don't ever do this. Mail it back. Let my life serve as a warning to others.

"Ugh why does everybody have to LOVE ME SO MUCH??", the #6yo just whined.

We let the kids play with the dough (at the table), and then they usually spread it on the pan and add cheese/sauce and whatever other pizza toppings they want. Except tonight they were too dysregulated to get passed the playing stage, so we did the spreading/cheese/sauce steps. But then the #6yo informed us that she had dropped her dough on the floor. We ate it anyways. π€·

#6yo: "[incomprehensible loud mumbling] the bathroom time"
me: "What about the bathroom?"
6yo: "None of your business"
me: "What??"
6yo: "It's not important for you to know."
me: "I see. So we operate on a need-to-know basis, and I don't need to know?"
6yo: *silence*
me: "Talking to myself again, I guess."
6yo: *silence*I love talking to kids. #parenting
