My 2 year old was watching cartoons this morning and my wife was upstairs with the baby. I had to take a shit so I told him I’d be right back. About three minutes later I hear a scraping noise and look out the doorway to see my son dragging his plastic chair and table across the floor. He calmly brings them into the bathroom, sets them up, and sits down in the chair. I asked him what he was doing and he says “watching you poop!”

Tonight me and a buddy dragged a homemade hand “Zamboni” on our lake for 2.5 hours to smooth out the ice for our families to skate this weekend

Went out when the kids went down and worked until 11:15. Beyond excited, and love doing this work to make family memories

I’m giddy

Mine are grown, and the best advice I can give anyone is enjoy them through all their phases…if you can.

It seems like yesterday I was up in the middle of the night changing a diaper or feeding them, now they’re grown men and it doesn’t seem possible.

Enjoy as best you can and don’t try to rush them through it.

My oldest (5) is getting ready for his first wrestling meet this weekend. He's played football and baseball, but this is the first time he's done anything individually competitive like this. I'm not sure who's got a more intense combo of nervousness and excitement, me or him.

Thread should probably pinned.

Have 2 under 2 in a small house. Sleeping is a nightmare right now. How did any of you do it? Their rooms are close to each other and if one wakes up the other is up. Suggestions besides get a better job and get a bigger house?

Lay down when they do. Find as much sleep as you can. Oh and get a better job and buy a bigger house. 😆

Enjoy every minute you can with your kids. Trust me, it is the blink of any eye and they are off on their own.

Prob just have to ride it out. I'm at 4 under 5.. my oldest woke up basically every night just to make me walk her back to bed for like 2 years. She stopped when we moved #3 in with her.

4 under 5!?!? Good lord man, pulling out of your driveway must be a challenge.

Just messing. My middle one does the same thing lately. Usually it's ok because I'm up at odd hours anyway, but it definitely tests me when I'm getting a good sleep in and she chooses to do it.

I guess she turned 5 so I gotta rephrase..

I just always tell people the cup was already full so it doesn't really feel different with more.
