They're climbing, they're jumping, they're doing this, they're swinging, they're twirling, they're jumping from this wall to that wall to this. It's like an obstacle course. It's like parkour. Yeah, that's exactly it. Anywhere we go in life is a parkour course. Welcome back to Keep It Good. I'm your host Carly. And I'm your host Emily. How you doing, Em? I'm good. I'm having a good morning. Yeah. There was no fighting going off to school today with the girls. So that's
a plus. Yeah. No yelling, screaming at each other, me yelling at them. So life was good. I had a good morning. How about you? How's your morning? Well, somebody farted in yoga this morning. No. Yeah. And it wasn't me. So I mean, my day, I
can't complain. That. Other girl my heart goes out to because I don't I don't know if I should recover from that that was loud and proud and it was I felt so Bad, but at the same time I was not fazed because I'm just surrounded by farts I feel like they just follow me now that I'm a boy mom. I'm just surrounded by like a fart bubble always Am I manifesting it? Being a boy mom. I don't know. Oh my gosh. Do you have
farty kids? I Would say no. I mean they do obviously, but I don't think it's like like boys Yeah, I feel like girls hide it and boys are like who can be louder. Right here Sometimes I wish I was a girl mom. I swear. Yeah. Well, you know what's funny is because sometimes I don't think that they You know, they don't have good manners all the time but you know, randomly I'll just hear like, and excuse me, excuse me. And I'm like, oh, what happened? I just burped. Okay.
Or, you know, we call them toots. So, or they tooted Ed in here, you know, so excuse me. I'm like, oh, that was really good manners. Okay, okay. So definitely a little different maybe. No, my littlest is like, oh, open in the oven. Oh my. Like, I mean, yeah, I live in a frat house. I swear to God it's. getting worse by the day the older they get. And my husband's no better. He encourages it almost, you know? It's like the ringleader. But I gotta say, my youngest,
he cracks me up. The other day, he literally believes that mommy farts once a year. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not about to correct that. No. No idea. I was laughing so hard. I'm like, so when does this one day a year happen? He goes, well, it's coming up, Mom. It's like Mother's Day. So my time is coming. Your time is coming. My time is near. It's so funny. They're so funny. Yeah. I hope they go through life always believing that, no, my mom only farted once a year. It's
right near me. Or maybe you'll just think that about girls, and that's amazing. I love that. I love that for them and for us. Yeah, right. So funny. So there's so many differences, right? Like, because I have two girls, you have two boys. Yeah, we're so alike, but we live in such different habitats. Really do. True. You're stepping on Legos, I'm stepping on Barbie shoes. Oh, that's true. Yeah, kind of similar. I guess that's kind
of the same, but yeah. I mean, how do you, I bet you get to enjoy like a clean toilet seat. I always have to check because I mean, Literally every day there's pee on the seat. They I don't know what's wrong with their aim. I thought I taught them correctly I mean, well, yeah, but your girl teaching them, right? I'm sure Steve helped but I got pretty You know inventive with my teaching approach. I used the squirt gun and I had great aim and They just they're they're
lacking that ability. Yeah. No, we're good with the seat department. Maybe a little dribble, but yeah We're good. Don't have to worry about that. That's definitely a difference between us. Don't use my toilet unless I've thoroughly cleaned it. So bad. All right. So you're good with the pee department. I am. What about boogers? Have you ever found a booger collection, a wall, a sampling of sorts? I have. Nothing crazy, but
I have. And I'm like, what is that? Yeah, we have plenty of tissues in the house, so I don't know what that is about, but that's disgusting. Yeah, I'm actually surprised that like girls go through that too, because I was like cleaning my kid's room and I'm like, what is this braille on the wall? Like what, like legit, what is this? And then, then it hit me and I was like, oh my God. Why? Why are you so feral? What does it
come down to? Maybe they're just lazy, and they have to blow their nose, or something's blocking it, and they go for it? No, but it's right next to his bed. He has a little bunk bed, so it's a little nook. And it was all right there. It was like, dude, what are we thinking? Why? Oh, man. I don't remember ever doing that as a child. I don't either. No. They're just gross. Yeah.
Unless I just haven't found it. Maybe. I feel like some of those things, and if they did do it, it's definitely more maybe like private, like it wouldn't be a noticeable thing. They have a lot of, don't look at me like while I do this, you know, like a little bit of embarrassment and just trying to be, you know, proper. That's a good thing. You know, maybe, I don't know, a little bit different there for sure. For sure. They, uh, I don't know. They're just a whole
different breed. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's like, you grow up, right? Like, boys have cooties, and it's just different. I think that they tend to be a little, you know, for lack of a better word, maybe a little bit, it's a little bit grosser in certain ways, right? But I think, like I said, the girls probably are gross, too. They just do it more privately. I know. Like, I don't know. I don't... It's, I'm learning a lot raising two boys. I really, I really am. Well, especially
being a girl. Like your husband's like, oh yeah, this is normal. Yeah, exactly. Steve's like, well, no, I mean, that's, that's what happens. You know, like a rough house. You know, I'm always like, you know, get off of that, get off of this. Like I, I come a long way. I used to be like a very much helicopter mom, especially because
Yeah, I work in the ER. So I see exactly what happens if that chair tips over and you land face first, you know Yeah, I can predict what's gonna happen But I just let them go out and play and they're like the hearty boys back there on an adventure and they're like covered in mud and they got bugs and they got frogs and they got all these things and I'm like What are they doing? Yeah, and Steve's like they're boys. That's exactly what they're They're doing exactly what
they're supposed to be doing. Right. They come in. They're muddy. They're, yeah. My kids are not like that. So even, like they want to go outside and we, they're outside a lot, but definitely not bugs or God forbid there's a stink bug in the house or a spider or something like, no. Even playing in the snow, they'll play for a very little bit. It's like, oh, I'm cold. I'm time. You know, it's time to come in. And I was like that. I remember being like that and my
mom being like, no, I'm locking the door. It took me so long to get you dressed. You're staying out there for a little bit. Here's another pair of gloves, you know? So I feel like there's, yeah, definitely a little difference in that. My kids are not making mud pies. Yeah, you know, I was just, like, daydreaming about my childhood, and I actually have to say I was outside in the
woods quite a bit. We lived across the street from the stream and this waterfall, and, like, me and my friend, we were outside all day every day. But that was like different times, you know? You didn't have like this crazy world. You could be out there for hours, and your parents had no idea where you were. You were just home by dinner. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get that. We had more woods growing up than, you know, we have at my house now. So there's not really...
And I am still helicopter -ish. I'm like, there's ticks. Don't be well. You know, don't go over there. I'll get the ball. There might be poison ivy. Like, it's totally different. And my kids don't roughhouse either. Like, going back to that, they, like, will pick each other up, maybe. Like, but it's not anything crazy. Like, if they jump across the couch or, like, you know, their little table with little chairs, if they jump from that to the couch or something, I'm like,
whoa, that's enough. You're gonna fall. You're getting wild. But I'm not used to it. You know what I mean? That's the craziest it is, so. That's the calmest it is here. Right. That's our baseline. Yeah. I know when we're together, our other friends who have boys and stuff, sometimes I'm like, oh my gosh. Be careful, guys. Be careful. You know, I'm so worried about them. And the boy moms are like, what are we looking at? They're fine. You know? I don't even. What are we worried
about? Yeah. What are we worried about? Emily, relax. Now it's always, always rough housing. But in the beginning I was like, why are you doing this? I'd be just getting them all snuggly, cozy for bed. And then my husband comes in like WWE champion and he's doing this and flipping them. And I'm like, what are you doing? I literally just set the mood. We are all cozy, relaxed. And I read that that actually good for them, boys, to roughhouse with their father, like,
for bed and do all this stuff. And so I've lightened up a little bit, but still, I'm like, my husband's just so accident prone, not for himself, just like, if he throws a ball, 99 % of the time, it's going to hit exactly in the forehead of one of my kids, you know, like, or if he spins them around. My little one is guaranteed to get hurt, you know? It's just like, he's gonna bang his leg on the wall or something. Yeah, like,
he's just accident -prone. Like, one of our first dates, he was trying to be all, like, you know, romantic and open the door for me and all these things. He slammed my hand in the freaking door. Like, my fingers were popping out of the car. So you're like, don't do this before bed. I don't want to go to the hospital tonight. Yeah. I'm like, I'm off tonight. I am off tonight, and I'm not going in. So if you want to do this, you can sit in the waiting room. No. It's not
happening. What about like, my kids will sit, and they love crafts, and coloring, and Play -Doh, and making key chains. Whatever kind of kit I can find, they're into it. Usually involves a lot of glitter. It's usually very messy. or dusty with pigment of some sort. Your kids are kind of crafty so they'll sit and do stuff like
that sometimes. They will sit for a little bit and then towards the end they're like rushing through their painting and you know it turns from what was a masterpiece is now like a pile of just mixed colors. Depends on I guess what we're working on. My son will sit for hours and do Legos when we let him. Loves Legos but No, they typically are like on from one thing to
the next to the next. I mean, I started that little art burn in the back and I've dedicated like an hour a day in the summer to just be like, let's get creative. Let's make a collage. Let's do this. Let's paint some rocks. Like, right. Whatever. So they've gotten used to like giving me an hour. So just like, that's my time. You know? Yeah. We have our moments, but my kids will sit for hours like dolls or Barbies. You know, we're still at that age where they're playing
with that stuff. and they play school, and for the most part, when they're doing something like that, they're playing great together. And I think we do have fights, I think because they're the same sex, but in the same breath, they also have a built -in friend. It's very much a love -hate relationship, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like, I had just one brother, and we played together, for sure, but it was more, like, outside, like, common
things. Like, if I wanted to play school, he wasn't gonna sit there and listen to me read him books. Mm -hmm. I had to depend on friends because I have a brother and a sister But they were way older than me like sisters eight years older than me So we shared a room and it was like on my side was like 101 Dalmatians little mermaid on her side was like new kids on the block You know, so we were in two different worlds.
She was not playing Barbies with me So I just I was always across the street or my friend's house. She was my built -in sister, you know, yeah but Yeah, I mean, they fight. It's nothing's ever fair enough or, you know, it's just always a competition with the two of them. And my little one doesn't realize that his brother's two years
older than him. So, I mean, yeah, sometimes he can stay up later or he can talk on the phone with his little friends, you know, like, you can't always do exactly what your brother's doing all the time. Yes, we have that, too. Definitely. Definitely. They want to be like their older sibling. And, yeah, it's the same. Like, you're five and she's eight. And there's a difference. When she was five, she didn't get to do that. But, yeah. My little one wants to wear whatever
her sister's wearing. Oh, she's wearing black pants? I want to wear black pants. Well, what's she wearing to the party? My older daughter's like, I don't want her to look like me anymore. I don't want... You know, it was one thing. Like, I could dress them the same for holidays or different things. They thought it was cool. And now, hmm, we're getting out of that for sure. Yeah, she's finding her own identity. And I was the little sister, so I get that. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I
wanted to be everything my sister was. Mm -hmm. Yeah, that's common, though. Yeah. You know, like, to want to be, like, your older sibling. But the jealousy, we definitely have that. You spend more time with her, you're snuggling with
her more. You know, we try to do, like... games or Uno cards or something like that before bed to give them a little time because we have activities and whatnot after school just to give them a little time and sometimes separately like my husband will do something with one and I'll do something with another and then we switch or yeah that's especially if they don't want to do the same thing which is totally fine we don't have to do the same game or something you know
but um yeah I think it's it's important because then I'm like well nope see you both got 30 minutes or 20 minutes each, you know, before bed. And it's a lot of that for sure. We started last year kind of, I mean, we haven't done it in a while, which we probably should, is I would take one son out for breakfast, and my husband would take the other one out to a different restaurant, you know, and we just get like one -on -one time. Yeah. And that's really what they're fighting
for is just that undivided attention. Right. And once they get it, their love cup is filled and everyone's happy. you can move on with the day. I gotta get back into that. It's a good reminder to myself. That's a really good idea. What else do you have it good with? I mean, body odor. Do you have body odor yet? I mean, you do, but. I got it. Not really. I would say no, but I mean, she just turned eight, so I'm sure it's coming. Like we don't, you know, really
have stinky feet or anything like that. Yeah, either. I got stinky feet. I got stinky feet. Not me. It's the boys. The boys have stinky feet. Yeah. I mean, it's funny. Like my oldest one just started getting body odor. And it's coming for sure. Yeah. I bought him deodorant and like trying to teach him all the things about it. And so like my husband, when he sweats, he smells like metal. It's weird. He like has this metallic
body odor. And my little one, the littlest guy, he gets the same kind of smell when he sweats, like metal. I inherited my dad's body odor. Lucky me. What is that? We call it Randy Zandi. It's... At least that's what Steve calls it. Yeah. And like my dad lost his sense of smell. So he has no idea the gift that he gives world with this body odor. And I was lucky enough to inherit that. And now my oldest son smells like me. So I have passed down that family curse of this
body odor that's just like, whoa. I mean, I... I take care of it. I mean, anyone has ever. I was like, I've never smelt you. Yeah, I don't think anyone has been lucky enough, except for my husband. And he will call me out real quick. Thank God. Like, I don't think I could date anyone ever, if anything were to happen. Like, I would just be single forever. Because the other thing that I've, you know, I inherited my dad's smell. And I mean, I would just be killing it as a guy.
You know, why? Because I feel like I if I didn't take care of like my leg hairs or he'd be hairy. I wouldn't be tall, dark and handsome. I'd be small, dark and handsome. But I would be like a stallion. And that's what my oldest son is. He's going to be a knockout. He's going to be a knockout. But he's going to have some real good all natural deodorant. Yeah, I mean, I Yeah. Yeah. But you know, you can't win them all, right?
I take care of it. You would never know. No. Thank God we don't live in the cave ages because I would probably be confused for a man. It is what it is. But maybe that's why I was supposed to be a boy mom. You know, I don't know. Yeah, there you go. You understand his body odor. Yeah. And I'm going to help him through this time in his life. What a good mom. What a good mom. I got to change his sheet. So I'm sitting in his room right now and I'm like, what is that? Well,
it's going to be 10 this year. So he's ahead of his time. Yeah. So this is funny because this has turned into like girl mom versus boy mom. Yeah. I'm finding like. We're just off like a little bit. It's not too crazy. Yeah, so far it's like 50 -50. I mean, you get to play with Barbies and all those. I have Legos and action figures. Same with movies. Like, you get all
the good stuff. I do get some fun movies. Yeah, you get the Little Mermaid and like Beauty and the Beast and I get Venom and Avengers and you know, it's like... I really have to talk myself into being interested in these movies. You know, if I have any common ground with my boys, I got to really like Venom. Like, it's... My husband is like you, right? Like, he doesn't want to play dolls or watch... Yeah, that's true. So, like, a guy's perspective would be totally different
than a mom's. Absolutely. Like, yeah. Like, Steve's like, oh, yeah, this is great. Yeah, we win. Three to one. We're watching Avengers. Yeah, I'm definitely outnumbered and outvoted over here where you got your tribe over there. Yeah, it's definitely, I mean, obviously the things they like right now are different from your boys. Like my kids, they want all things girly. They want lip gloss and to have their hair done and pretty pink things and everything's glitter and
rainbows. Oh yeah, I left your house the other day and I look like I left the strip club. He's covered in glitter. That is so true. I was like, just don't sit there. Let me dust that off. There's a little bit of glitter from the slime. How is it getting ready in the morning? Do you have to put in a lot of time and effort, like getting their hair done and like? It depends. You'd think that my kids, because they do like all that stuff, they would want their hair done in something
cool, especially because I can do it. Like I could do any kind of braid, any, you know, whatever, whatever they wanted. And a lot of times, like, can I just have a low ponytail? I'm like, ew. Why? I mean, I love a good low ponytail too, but probably because I wear my hair up like that so much that they're like, oh, that's just what you do. But yeah, it depends. Honestly, a lot of times it's the clothing and some nights we'll pick out clothes beforehand, mainly for my older
daughter because she leaves first. But that tends to be our problem in the morning is more like clothes. Well, that sounds girl, you know, because like, oh, this doesn't match this or I want to wear these shoes, but I can't because I have gym or, you know. So I already see what middle school and high school will look like for sure. And they wear each other's stuff. Like my little one, obviously her sister's stuff is a little bit big, but she can get away with some of the
things, you know. Today, she tried to put on her pant, my older daughter's pants. And I was like, oh, honey, you can't. They're far too long. You cannot do that. And sometimes it would be a fight, you know, and she didn't. Okay. So that was good. We had a really good morning. So, the mornings are, yeah. But the other day my older daughter was trying to wear a little bit of, she got some makeup for her birthday from a friend and she was trying to put some on for school.
And I'm like, okay, that's enough. You're eight, that's for play or like your dance competitions. This is, you don't wear it to second grade. It's hilarious, and it was picture day, right? It was picture day, and I think that's why. And she was telling me she didn't have it on, but she did. She looked like she got punched in her right cheek with blush. So I was like, please send a message to the teacher that we didn't slap her before we sent her on the bus. Can you
clip me off one of those pictures? I'd love to see it. It was great. How are they with hygiene? Are they good with like showers, brushing teeth? All the things, changing underwear. Yeah, they're totally good with the underwear thing. We do baths every night. I'm a little crazy about that. So I feel like they're hygiene that they're so used to it. And they should be used to brushing their teeth, but that's our biggest fight. And
I'm pretty raw about it. I'm like, you are going to lose all your teeth and we're going to have to put in wooden teeth. So that's going to be really hard and not a good conversation starter. Not a good look either. Not a good look. You know, my little one is a little bit better right now, but maybe that will change. But, you know, it's always like, did you brush your teeth yet? Did you brush your teeth? Go upstairs, go brush
your teeth. It's... We've tried, like, doing the toothbrushes on our first floor off the kitchen so they can brush their teeth down there. Maybe that's better, but... I know, you try all the things. Oh, my God. Lately, I've been playing their favorite songs while they're in the shower, so it's, like, fun, and... That's a good idea. Yeah, and just they have, like, a moment to themselves, you know? Yeah. So we've been listening to a lot of Elton John. I love it. Are they good about
taking baths and all that? We haven't done a bath in a very long time, but they're good. Showers, they're good. We have a problem with like, we'll get home from school and say we're not showering that day. And I'm just like, all right, go up and change. For some reason, they're really connected to their socks and their underwear. They don't change. And I'm like, I'm doing a body check, like you're, show me your underwear. I want new underwear, you know? I want fresh shoes on. Yeah,
please. And with all the farts, like, no, you need a new pair of underwear. Yeah. But they're always like, potty, potty talk, I feel. Yeah. You know, like, any, anything. It could just be like, it sounds like fart, and they start giggling. Rhymes with. Rhymes with, yes. And it's hysterical. And... I mean, it is funny, even just like the girl who farted in yoga. Like, that's funny. I giggled. You can help it. I don't know how she recovered from that. I don't think
I'd ever show my face again. I'd be devastated and be like, well, crap. Now I have to find a whole new yoga situation. I'll be practicing at home now. Yeah, the poor thing. Oh, yikes. But I mean, I only fart once a year, so I don't know what that's like. It's really difficult when you only do it that one time. Yeah, no. No, no, no. How about, like, can your girls just go from the door to the car? Yeah. Yes, definitely. Yes, they can. But getting them to the door is
my problem. It's like selective hearing. And I'll ask them. Our big problem, I feel like, is just getting their shoes on. Like, I'll ask
four or five times. It's the same thing getting them, you know, dressed or pajamas like it's time you have this amount of time left can you please get your whatever on and they're like mom why are you yelling i'm like because i've asked you four or five times no you didn't you just asked us like it what no gentle parenting works for like gentle kids and i'm gentle for like the fourth time asking and then i turn into tyrannosaurus rex like it's same bad I have like
a voice that I do, and my husband's like, that voice is terrible. Like, I hate that voice. I try to make it really mean and like, aggressive. Like, this means now. You know, but... It's funny, like, your kids are this, like, they're like your pride and joy, but then they turn you into something you don't even recognize. There's no one in this world who can get me angrier than...
my two little boys. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Maybe it's because you made them and they're a part of you and you're just like, why are you hurting me? Why don't you listen? No, but to the door, to the car, totally fine. Usually bickering on our way there, but my problem would be getting them to the door. I can get them to the door after I use my mom voice. And for some reason, it could be the simplest task. and they have
to find the hardest route to get there. They're climbing, they're jumping, they're doing this, they're swinging, they're twirling, they're jumping from this wall to that wall to this. It's like an... It's like parkour. Yeah, that's exactly it. Anywhere we go in life is a parkour course. The grocery store, the... Anywhere. On our way to church, like, it's like, I'm like, get it together, you know? And I'm like, we are not jumping around in church. Yeah, it's like, what
the? Why? Why? I don't know. Just walk. Right. Can we just walk like a human being, please? They just had to get their wigglies out. Oh, they got so many wigglies. Lots of wigglies, yeah. Their endless pit of wiggles. Yeah. But it's cute. Yeah, of course. In one day. Now talking about it, it's cute, but in the moment, it's like, I know. I want to die. I'm so mad at you.
I know. The one thing that drives me absolutely insane, which I don't think will ever be cute, is like the weird, like they're just, everything's a joke. Like a constant jiggle? Yeah, constant joking around, constant like, oh, mom's mad. Let's see, like, you know, it's just, it never ends. And I'm like. Steve, I swear to God, and he's like, it's just a guy, it's a guy thing. Like, you just joke around, da -da -da -da, and
I'm like, I can't listen to the snickers. And it's just like, oh my God, if they're not grumpy old men, they're Beavis and Butthead. It's like, it's one thing or another, you know? They play their character well. They, yeah. I mean, they're either bickering over things that neither one of them really know the truth of. You know, like two senile men in a nursing home, or they're in cahoots and they're trying to drive their mama mad. Yeah, I feel like that's the same.
I say to them sometimes, I wish I could film you so you can see that you're upset over... I don't know, I can't even think of anything right now, but like... Yeah, because it's just so stupid. It's so silly. And you would laugh, you would giggle at what you're hearing yourself say, you know? Someday I will. Film them I have to because it's it would make me laugh too. Maybe and make it lighter for me at the moment It doesn't
feel like I know at the moment. I have to like count to a hundred before I sound so similar though We're doing like it's the same thing. I feel like there's not much Boy mom verse girl mom here as much as I thought they would be yeah, not not as much I thought we would be on totally different planes, but I think one one where I would actually be thankful that I have boys is
lice. I have not experienced lice in this house, but I imagine that if we did, I mean, I could easily shave their head where you have a full -time job that you have to deal with. Yeah, and we have. We just had lice and it was horrible. The girls had it and it was not fun. Not fun
at all. And of course, Even if you cut their hair shorter, like it's still on the scalp, you know, and it's crazy in my whole career I have never seen it in almost 20 years on anybody's child or a client or anything like that It's not been in the salon. But so my first experience to physically see it on my daughter's hair was shocking Just shocking but um Yeah, that's not
really the most fun. It's definitely tens, you know in some more research it definitely tends to happen to girls because their hair's long. Oh, yeah. It's long. They're, like, more snuggly. Like, you know, they're rushing it. They're, you know, they might share an elastic or a headband or a hat or, you know, winter, the earmuffs or whatever. And, yeah, touch someone's head. You know what? Dance. It runs rampant, like, through dance studios, gymnastics. Yeah. Girlie. I'll
take boys any day over lice. Oh, my God. Yeah, that one's a tough one. But it happens to a lot of people. I know. It happened to me when I was a little girl. Yeah. I definitely got it from some sleepover. Well, yeah, right. Sleepovers, yeah, yeah. Both. Yeah. Disgusting. Yeah, I know. So, yeah, you would just shave their heads and give them two months. Oh, absolutely. I'd be like, no, we're playing military today. Yeah. And we are. Line up. Yeah. Or shaving my head
off. Yep. Who's going first? Yeah. Oh, I know. So, I mean, after discussing our mutual habitats, we pretty much, I mean, mine's a little stinkier, maybe a little stickier, and definitely a little bit more aggressive. Yeah, right. Mine's a little calmer, cleaner. Well, you got the glitter. Yeah. They like to craft, so we definitely have some sticky areas. But it's really not that different. No. I think kids are kids. And I think... you know, we're just trying our best to figure it
out every single day. Because it's, as soon as you think you have something down, it's like, okay, we're onto this stage, you know? Absolutely. I remember someone telling me that one of our good friends, just like, after you've mastered that phase, it's a new phase. So don't like, don't get comfy, because you're going to be learning something else. Yeah, don't, don't get too comfy. with your calmness and your cleanliness. I know. Because those stinky feet are going to come.
They're coming. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. We wear deodorant just in case, kind of, at this point. But sometimes she's a little stinky. You know, it happens. We're getting there. Hopefully she doesn't inherit her dad's BO. You know? If you need someone to talk to, I'm always here to help. He's not really stinky, so she'll be lucky. Hopefully she does, honestly. So, okay, with that being said, let's leave you with a
quote about parenting. Okay? It is unknown. I do not know who wrote this, but it says, being a parent can be tough, but just remember that in your child's eyes, nobody does it better than you. I love that. Right? Because some days it's hard, but they love you no matter what. Yeah. And you them, obviously. And I think you are... definitely meant to be your kid's parent, regardless if it's, you know, if you're a boy mom, girl mom, or you have one of each, or you have three
of each. However, those children were meant to be in your life for a reason. Agreed. That's all for today. I hope you guys survive this week with your kids or just life in general. And as always, keep it good.
