Just leveled up in the "only Mom can find lost things" game when, over the phone, I found my 7 year old's purple sneakers that had been missing for almost a week I'm in Dublin. Child+sneakers are in San Diego.

Things are never really lost until mom says they are.

"Hey Mr. 7 year-old, what travels all over the world but stays in a corner?"

"A computer with a VPN?"

Gen Alpha, ladies and gents.

When it's #science spirit day at school, your son who has cheerfully gone along with "sports" day and "fandom" day comes into his own. He also brings a bag of 8 extra tshirts in his backpack for classmates to borrow in case anyone forgets to participate.

A little light spring break reading for @askthesciencekid.bsky.social . If everything is, in fact, tuberculosis, guess it's time to start boning up now that you're seven. Especially when your mom won't let you read any of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's other books yet.

Last month the Science Kid attended a sneak preview of the new #Paleontology Center at #theNAT, San Diego's Natural History Museum. It's going to be a fantastic facility and everyone should check it out once it opens!

Sometimes the best #eclipse photos are looking in the opposite direction.

So basic my six year old understands.

It's morning and time to get ready for school. Does your child fetch the hairbrush and shoes as directed?

If you answered "no, he'll bring a wand and an eye patch" congratulations! You won the AM edition of the #adhd game!

I did not. Join me this afternoon for "put your socks in the hamper."

East county #sandiego! Our local high school district plans to close all the high school #libraries and reassign the librarians to classrooms. Special school board meeting today at 4:30 Pacific. Help save our libraries!!

When it's the 100th day of 2nd grade and science is your personal brand, this is what you wear to school.

When you're six and have to resort to adult sizes to properly convey all the #science sass you want on your graphic tees, you go to school with a shirt that reaches your knees.

@askthesciencekid.bsky.social needs more options in size 8-10!

"Please stop making prosciutto gloves" is a thing I just said to my six year old. Send help.

As per tradition, the friend group took the children to walk through a neighborhood light display.

"Mom. We need to get the annual Christmas picture of our butts!"

Excuse me?

Oh I see....
that's not....
....carry on.

The look on your six year-old wannabe science communicator's face when he sees @hankgreen.bsky.social and @tomlumperson.bsky.social discussing one of his favorite facts that also happens to be the subject of one of his first videos is absolutely priceless. He's on Team Everest as well.

Few things make me more irrationally angry than realizing at bedtime that you forgot tonight was pump site change, and now the kiddo will be up late watching YouTube until the numbing cream kicks in. #duckfiabetes #t1d
