Percy at the mainland. Thomas his eyes open. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Sir Topham, his hat fell. My 4yo has no idea how hilarious Dad is right now.

Some days it's great to get validation that your child is indeed your child.
Kid is sitting on the kitchen counter and I say "hey, no butts on the counter". So of course she does exactly what I would have done, she tucks her legs under her and sits on them instead. Proud Dad moment.

My 4yo just pinkie promised me she'll "never make a mess ever again". Here's hoping that lasts at least until she's a teenager.

I gave the 4yo a #yoto card with Charlie Brown Christmas (Vince Guaraldi Trio) on it. She's been playing "Linus and Lucy" on non-stop repeat. Good tastes run in the family.

Never teach a 4yo the expression "My hands are full right now.". They will use that to get out of everything.
