So we picked up pho tonight because our daughter has been talking about pho for days. The last two times (only times) she ate it, she picked at the noodles, forsaking all other ingredients and gave up.

Imagine my reluctance to buy a $9 kids veggie pho that might go mostly to waste.

She tried everything. Even the tofu. She ate almost all of it with chopsticks 🥢 and asked if she could save the rest for tomorrow.

6 year old: “Mommy, have you ever heard of ‘Me time?’”

Me: “I think I might have heard SOMETHING about it like 6 years ago… but tell me about it.”

#TFW Your #parenting is used against you. 🫣

Last night my daughter was sniffly and so I got the Vicks rub from the bathroom and put it on her chest. She was ready with her books so I put the lid back on and asked her to put the Vicks back on the bathroom counter.

Cool as can be, she said, “Mommy, did you get the Vicks or did I?”

“I think daddy got it from the store a while back…”

“No, I mean just now.”

“Oh, I got it from the bathroom.”

“Well then shouldn’t YOU put it away?”

TOUCHÉ.

For a 6yo, my child eats fairly healthy. Every day I pack her a treat in her lunch box. Usually a few mini-marshmallows, two shortbread biscuits, or two chocolate kisses.

Tonight while packing her lunch I asked her what treat she wanted. She said she didn’t want any treats because another kid told her treats would make her bad. Not fat. Bad.

I told her that a Hershey kiss would absolutely not make her bad. But I am worried for her friend…

Good morning! My daughter and hubs are still asleep which means I have had a complete session of UNINTERRUPTED BATHROOM TIME. 🥹

Letting my 5yr old help make breakfast for dad is the ultimate test of this mom’s nerves.
My brain was literally like:

My 5 year old daughter is playing library during her afternoon quiet time and my heart is so full. She's reading books. Whole books. By herself. I'm so amazed. #parenting #books #cosobookclub

My daughter and I borrowed the Disney Princess Cookbook from the library and it's been delightful making her enthusiastic about making food (foods that she wouldn't normally try otherwise.)
Anyone have any recommendations for more child-friendly cookbooks? #cosocooks #foodies #parenting

My kiddo wanted to change from a 1 hr gymnastics class to a combo 30 min gymnastics/30 min dance class (every other week alternating tap and ballet.)

We got her ballet and tap shoes yesterday. Today we're doing everything around the house in them. 😆 Hanging valentine's day window clings in her bedroom room while arabesque-ing in ballet slippers. Shufflin' in the tap shoes while I clean the bathroom... #cosomoms #parenting #parenthood
