Cody was in the LEGO zone yesterday and built this crazy car all by himself! #codybooryan

Why do we always teach kids to bake? That’s actually the last thing we should teach them. The first thing we should teach them is how to cook meat – the most nutrient dense food of all! Wade mixed pork and beef and separated the skin and fascia from chicken thighs. He had fun too! I think he’ll help me tomorrow w our ribeyes! #waderboobear

Blanket time. I wasn’t aware of this concept when I had Wade! It’s the beginning phase of quiet time or room time - not for when your child chooses but you do for them. I set a timer and the boys are taught to stay on the blanket. This concept will eventually expand to quiet independent play time in their rooms. It was hard to train Wade in this when he was older! The success differs by day but they’ve made great progress. My ideas of toddler obedience and discipline have definitely changed for children #2-3 than for #1! #tyandcodytwins

I thought I was pretty proactive w Wade but I expect even more of the twins at this stage. I see the stakes differently now. Helping is becoming a regular part of our days. #tyandcodytwins

Don’t let this fleeting smile deceive you - it was a long 4.5 hours in the ER today. Especially when my darling boy was hitting, punching, and scratching me whilst throwing things and screaming. Ever heard of emergence delirium? Wade had it too - it’s essentially when your child goes ballistic from sedation type meds. For an hour plus. 😬 He’s ok though - reinjuried his head and required some stitches. #stillblamethevandoor #tyguyedward
