Dads Parent Too

I am not sure about you other parents out there, but morning/night routines have been a STRUGGLE! Mallory found this  “Kid’s Routine Chart”  by InspiredProse on Etsy, and it worked like magic last night and this morning.  My 6-year-old, Lake, was super excited to do the routines herself and check off the boxes.  So far, it has worked one night and one day, and it might not work tomorrow, or ever again, but for at least one morning and one night, it has been MAGICAL! #notanad #justafan

Sometimes my 19-month-old just wants to be held.  Sometimes I have to get a pork shoulder in the oven.  When both of these things coincide, then I have to find a distraction that will buy me enough time to get something done. Two large bowls, one cup, one small bowl, and some water makes my daughter really happy.  The resulting mess was worth the 30 minutes of distraction.  But do yourself a favor, and put a towel underneath the bowls to keep them from sliding and aid in the clean-up.
