This morning’s episode of #extremeparenting is brought to you by “button up the nose.” Button up the nose, you are no match for me. I played many hours of “Operation” as a kid. I half expected Josh to buzz as I brushed the side of his nostril, but it was more like a few whimpers. […]
Sammy had a little toy in his hand. Josh reached for it and hands Sammy a pair of underwear. “Look mom, I sharing,” says Josh. I fully expected an epic meltdown from Sammy. Instead, he grins, grabs the undies and sticks them on his head. Boys.
This morning’s conversation when Joshua woke up: J: “Mom, think about breakfast.” Me: “Sweetheart, I can’t even put two sentences together, much less think about anything.

At In N Out this afternoon: “Give me all the fries you have.” “But Sam, shouldn’t we save some for your brother when he wakes up?” Sam: “No.”
Overheard today as I wiped J’s nose: NO, STOP MOM! Those are MY boogers!
