The revolution the feeds the children gets my support!


✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Little Beaver went on her first camping trip, which was a great success. I was delighted to let her run off into the woods a bit, until mom pointed out that there was tons of poison ivy - we fortunately avoided disaster. We're in the middle of potty training, so we had a few times where she had to sit on the portable potty on the side of a trail during a hike, which other hikers thought was very adorable. She also had her first marshmallow, which she wasn't too sure about... maybe the texture was too strange for her. She kept kicking off her little sleeping blanket and getting cold, so she eventually had to sleep on the big inflatable mattress with us.

Next weekend is moving weekend. She is speaking in simple sentences now, and so we've been telling her about the new house and the new daycare this last week, with the hope that it will help a little bit in the transition.
