But the most unrealistic thing on the show is the 1-to-4 teacher/student ratio.

My 7 month son got croup and has been in an out of the ER twice this week. Its currently midnight and is getting another nebulizer dose before we get moved to a room. Hes doing better but its been rough. We are gonna be here at least another day for observation this time which is way better than getting sent home again to see how he does. Here's hoping he kicks its ass and gets over this quick. It sucks seeing my little guy sick like this.

Edit: he's doing a lot better today. They were doing the nebulizer every two hours and its been almost 7 without it now. Fingers crossed we are over the hump. Thanks for the support y'all.

"Pikachu? Nooooo!!!"

I went to a kid's birthday party yesterday and his dad hit it out of the park with this homemade Pikachu cake. The photo shows it mostly carved and served, but it was two-tiered, with a red and white poke ball bottom. Also not shown are the fondant ears. It was delicious, too.

A 3 year old and 1 year old. Today, for the first time, my 3 year old daughter put some nail polish on my toes. Feeling beautiful over here.

It was such a good episode, though

I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

When daddy is the chef de cuisine and some random shit in your fridge is expired but smells ok.

I posted a picture of my little girl playing the slots yesterday. We had actually just come from an immediate care place. We told them she was starting a new UTI/kidney infection. She just got out of the hospital less than 2 weeks ago and has previous history with this problem.

These infections go from zero to 100. She'll go from no fever to 106+ in under an hour. So we were desperate for some help yesterday. The doctor listened to our story, looked at the chart, and decided she was fine.

Today we're back in the ER with another runaway infection. We came because we couldn't control the fever that blew up out of nowhere. She's being admitted and will be here for several days. We are exhausted and disheartened.

She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.

What are you dads doing today?

I'll go first:

The Mrs found a local restaurant who are hosting a kids new years eve party at 3pm. We have reservations, there will be a meal, countdown, ball drop, the works. My 4 yo daughter is PUMPED! (We are too).

How do you guys handle screen time and what rules do you have? We've settled on "intentional" screen time like Friday night movies, but also some situations like when our kid is sick.

Also, any favorites? Bluey is by far the favorite here, though Ponyo is a recent strong contender.
