my kid has decided she's done with the crib. we've had to push the bed against the wall and borrow a guard rail from my sister in law.

this will make bedtime even more interesting when we return home from australia in a few weeks, and the kid's jetlagged to the bejesus.

Yes, it's time for a real bed

It’s a slippery slope to “8-year old kid chained to the radiator” headlines starring Spike

It's an adjustment for awhile, but it won't take long before the kid can feed and entertain themselves while you get some quality sleeping in time.

autonomy is the greatest gift we give our kids.

Kept the kids up late last night to take them to a light festival at a local park where we're staying. Walking back to the car my 7 year old said she was going to sleep in the car and I would have to carry her into the house and change her etc while she slept. I warned her that if she did that I would shake her awake, to which she said - 'You can't shake a baby, or they end up walking funny! Is that true daddy?'
I'm still amazed at what sticks in that head of hers

Coaching my Kindergartener's basketball team and it is as chaotic and hilarious as expected.
