Hello new platform! A nurse practitioner with a toddler in beautiful Baltimore, staving off Baby Shark induced brain atrophy by interacting with words.. maybe gifs too

She instructed my mother and me to watch while she walked into the room and say in tones of hushed awe “A stylish girl!”

My precious girl in her valentines dress dancing with her heart-shaped pink waffle while the dog looks on, hopeful that this waffle review in dance will mean waffle pieces on the floor.

My child, having just finished a bowl of ice cream: “more?” Me: “not tonight love, more tomorrow” Her “I want ice cream cone” Me “no more ice cream. Do you want a cup of milk? A banana?” “popsicle?” “no.” “No fair! . . . I want my sparkle shoes!” No more ice cream? At least I can look fabulous!

This girl at 7am this morning gesturing angrily at the windows: “I don’t like this darkness! it’s too sunny! Turn it off mommy!” (They do have blackout curtains on them but clearly not enough for my vampire child)

But no Catra? How am I going to make them kiss?? Some Pride month this is 😤

Admittedly I also have this expression when someone on the street suggests a smile

Rain means rain puddles!! It’s also the block from our house with railroad tracks so we got to wave at not just one but TWO trains! The commuter train engineer waved back! What more could a toddler want?

“Let’s all squeeze together for a picture!” 😅

My child at the very cool B&O railroad museum to survey their fine selection of “rock-a-by” chairs

Just normal times with normal abyssal creatures rising from the depths. Just in time for that ☄️

Tried to get a non-blurry picture of the mittens. I was not successful.

All cuddled up for a warm winter’s nap

Trends like this are fascinating! Especially married no kids steady as a rock, but single no kids tripling - or like mine, multi-gen unmarried fam together doubling.

Throw back to maternity leave march 2023, feeling like both 1000 years ago and yesterday

I don’t take many pictures of my dogs anymore because they are very old and gray and spend 90% of the day asleep, but they are still cute.

Well now that I’ve finished The Penguin I need to find another meaningful pursuit in life

Business in front, party in the back, croissant in hand - who could ask for anything more?
