A Summer Party, A Handful of Chin Chub and Dad Disappears When The Shots Start : Episode 29 Part 1

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,260
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I literally, when they're getting ready to do the shot, and so it's like, there's the baby, there's the nurse who's doing a great job, there's Kelly's right there next to the baby, and I'm actively fading into the distance.

2
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:20,940
I don't want her, the last thing I want is for that shot and her to see me.

3
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:29,020
I want no association between that stuff and me, and I'm laughing at myself thinking it's just pathetic.

4
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,540
I'm like, no, we're just going to back away.

5
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,660
Because you don't want to associate.

6
00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:36,780
I don't want her to associate anything negative with me.

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,120
Nothing negative.

8
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,160
Look at your mother.

9
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:40,860
Look at your mother and the nurse.

10
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:42,360
It's your mother who's doing this to you.

11
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:02,960
This is the gray hair and daycare podcast with a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ right in that same range.

12
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,980
Your hosts, Frank Sirio and Karlo Russo.

13
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:09,460
Welcome back.

14
00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:10,940
Episode 29.

15
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:12,040
Here we are.

16
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:14,000
It's been a while since we have recorded.

17
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,260
It seems like a whole summer.

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Life has been, it's been getting away from us like a runaway train.

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,380
It's really, we've been super busy.

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,720
We've been running around, but we're here and we're ready to catch up.

21
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:28,720
In the new studio.

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Yeah.

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:38,180
You may have noticed it's kind of the same stuff, but a little bit more, little bit, hopefully nicer arrangement.

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,960
We're going to continue to tweak.

25
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,360
Yeah.

26
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:41,960
Some of our camera angles.

27
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,560
This is clearly not my best side.

28
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:45,240
Yes, it is.

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,060
Because I'm looking at this side and it's not working.

30
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:49,600
That's fair.

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,840
I'm kidding.

32
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:52,540
All your sides are my favorite.

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,080
All eight of them.

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,280
Look, you did a great job.

35
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:57,300
I like the depth, the openness.

36
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:04,000
We're in a different portion of the- It's a little more, a little warmer, a little more relaxed.

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,980
Um, so we, we hope you, that we, uh, we hope you feel like we're inviting you into our speakeasy.

38
00:02:13,660 --> 00:02:17,120
And we think we should, it might make everything easier.

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,200
So here we are, as always, I am Frank Serio.

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:29,140
And for another couple of weeks, I am 55 years old and my little girl, baby Josie is almost six months old.

41
00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:32,820
I can't believe that I'm talking about her being six months old already.

42
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:34,400
It's just insane.

43
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:40,520
I walked in today and, uh, like we said, it's been, uh, this summer has been crazy.

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,580
We haven't had a time to get together.

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:50,380
So it's been a while since I've seen the baby and being on vacation and then working and you being, uh, doing your thing.

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,460
Just the changes I've seen in the baby, it's incredible.

47
00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:55,460
And she's getting so long and we'll talk about that.

48
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280
But, uh, yeah, it's, it's been, it's been crazy.

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,080
Six months is even a, a number right now.

50
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,020
It seems like we just had the baby.

51
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:06,520
It's like a blink of an eye.

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,760
I can't believe six months.

53
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:22,800
And it is like my sister Lucille says, whenever she, whenever she comes face to face with, with, with the Lord, she's going to say just one suggestion, make everything that happens in the first year, take two years.

54
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:23,660
Right.

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,180
It goes by so fast.

56
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:28,260
It's constantly something new.

57
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,480
And we're going, we'll talk about all of those things as they come up.

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,440
But the first, first, this is something that we have not done in a while.

59
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:39,640
We are going to do check, please.

60
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,180
So for check, please.

61
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720
The last time we did this, I can't wait.

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Now today is August 20th.

63
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,700
Today is the 19th or 20th.

64
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:50,880
Yes.

65
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,000
We don't know.

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,420
August 20th.

67
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,640
The last time we did this was June 10th.

68
00:03:55,660 --> 00:03:55,880
Wow.

69
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,060
June 10th was check, please.

70
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:10,900
And the bill at that point of baby, baby Josie's expense account is, was 63, 10, really 71, 63, 10, 71.

71
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:15,459
Now since then Kelly wasn't even back to work yet.

72
00:04:15,459 --> 00:04:15,980
Right.

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,120
So there's been stuff she's needed for the back to work, the finishing of the, the nursery.

74
00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:24,320
So there's some of that stuff in there.

75
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:30,920
And then there is just the usual avalanche of diapers, wet ones, desitin, all those things.

76
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,220
Okay.

77
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:38,340
So, well, so 63, 10, 71 on June 10th, 61, 63, 10, 71.

78
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,520
I'm historically horrible at this.

79
00:04:41,860 --> 00:04:43,000
You're getting closer.

80
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:44,780
I think I'm going to be off.

81
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:45,400
Okay.

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,840
I think I'm going to be off because I'm taking all this time and consideration, but maybe I shouldn't.

83
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,740
I'm going to say 70, 38, 20, 70, 38, 20.

84
00:04:56,860 --> 00:04:57,080
Yeah.

85
00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:58,500
Interesting.

86
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:01,240
75, 37.

87
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:03,400
Even you were, that was pretty, pretty good.

88
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:05,860
So you were, you were calling it at like 700.

89
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,680
It was really more like 12.

90
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:08,340
Right.

91
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:08,620
Right.

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:16,280
But 75, 37, I think that's what we're, we're averaging about between 500 and $700 a month.

93
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:16,700
It seems.

94
00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:23,200
So now that I know that information, you can kind of clock in there, there was a lot of stuff.

95
00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:24,740
It's mostly still Amazon.

96
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:26,500
There's a lot more for home Depot.

97
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:26,940
Okay.

98
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:38,000
The paint was expensive and we're going to have some pictures that we'll share as part of this episode that you'll get to see kind of the mostly finished result, which I'm very happy is over.

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:47,460
When we moved into our house, my, my cousin, Joey's a painter and I, I like doing all kinds of DIY projects.

100
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,420
I don't like to paint.

101
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:54,240
He painted, he was, he worked full time at my house when we moved in here for five weeks.

102
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,420
And before you moved in here, you hired my cousin for your other house.

103
00:05:58,420 --> 00:05:59,180
Yeah, that's right.

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,040
Eddie.

105
00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:04,900
So, so I have not painted anything in here.

106
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560
And I, I did this cause Joey wasn't available.

107
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:09,960
And I thought it's just one room.

108
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:19,160
And it was, there was a lot of swearing and a lot of, a lot of paint dripped on the hardwood floor that had to be cleaned up, but it's over.

109
00:06:19,540 --> 00:06:21,520
So there is some, there is some of that.

110
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,940
Do you feel different because it's for your daughter?

111
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,760
So now it's like, I did that.

112
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:26,220
Yes.

113
00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:27,200
There was hire somebody.

114
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:28,760
I'm going to say four or five.

115
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:29,560
That's what I thought.

116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,600
I'm like, it's for her going into it.

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,940
And there were four or five times that it had, if it had not been for her, I would have just been like, we're, we're done.

118
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:38,180
Yeah.

119
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:39,880
It was, it would have been like the casino.

120
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:41,100
Exactly.

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:42,520
Stepping away.

122
00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:48,760
Kelly was in like, like in the, in the great room, kind of around the corner from where I was working.

123
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,520
And she would hear me just swearing.

124
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,180
And, and every once in a while, she's like, did something happen?

125
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,480
No, I just hate it.

126
00:06:55,500 --> 00:07:02,400
Just turn into like a 65 year old old school Italian Oh my, I would rather, I would rather wiring hard.

127
00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:03,960
Like you do the hard work.

128
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:06,580
I would, I, I like that stuff to me.

129
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,240
Painting is nothing.

130
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:08,620
Yep.

131
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,700
No, I hate it.

132
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:11,060
It's always messy.

133
00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:11,620
Love it.

134
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,520
It's always messy to get perfect lines.

135
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:15,020
It's not, I know.

136
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,120
I mean, it's not forever.

137
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,400
I'm no more people probably on your end.

138
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Hey, then I love painting.

139
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,360
No, no, no, no, no, no, not, not interested in doing any more of that.

140
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,920
So we're going to, we'll have some pictures later on so we can, we can talk about that.

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,160
And that is check please.

142
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,560
Don't miss any of the fun.

143
00:07:33,860 --> 00:07:38,280
Subscribe to the show on YouTube and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik TOK.

144
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,560
So now there's one that we have not done in a long time.

145
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Oh, please tell me what it was.

146
00:07:45,260 --> 00:07:52,940
The one that we used to do a lot, but because, because our producer has not been watching, I know what this is.

147
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:57,460
We haven't had a lot of them, but there was a small one.

148
00:07:57,580 --> 00:08:00,000
So here we are with, I was wrong.

149
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,040
So this, I was wrong is really just a, I, I wasn't completely right.

150
00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:13,040
And I think it was episode 26.

151
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:32,260
We talked about, I brought up, there's a, there was a article or something I had read about that said an indicator, the best indicator for whether a couple was compatible was whether or not they let, if they both didn't like, or both liked scary movies, horror movies, things like that.

152
00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:39,659
I remember like I was saying, you and I are both don't, we don't care about the same, the same with was so the same with me and me and Kelly.

153
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:40,020
Okay.

154
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:53,680
So, and I ended up stumbling across that same thing and it wasn't just that there were three markers that they said, if you are the same on all three of these, you're going to make it, like you're going to be a good couple.

155
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,900
So the first one was horror movies.

156
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,340
If you both, if you are aligned on either, you love them or you don't, that's number one.

157
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:08,240
Number two was, would you travel in a foreign country alone?

158
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:09,200
Would you do that?

159
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,200
Would I like it?

160
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:11,800
No, I wouldn't like it.

161
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:20,160
I would probably do it because I, now that I travel a lot for my life, I, I know you could do it, but you wouldn't choose not at all.

162
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:20,400
No.

163
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,780
And I bet, I bet Trina would say the same thing.

164
00:09:22,780 --> 00:09:24,040
There's no way she would do it.

165
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,080
There probably would have been a time in her life.

166
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,220
She might've, I think, but with certain situations that have gone on, like she would not be good with doing that.

167
00:09:32,380 --> 00:09:34,720
No, I can say I wouldn't want to do that.

168
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:35,720
I wouldn't do it.

169
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,580
Kelly's the same.

170
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:36,940
Yeah.

171
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:42,640
Like she would with a group or with a couple traveling somewhere new, but yeah.

172
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,660
I don't like doing anything alone, actually.

173
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,820
I want my partner or somebody there.

174
00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:48,340
Yeah.

175
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,180
I think that's fair.

176
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,340
So number one, the horror movie thing.

177
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:51,820
Number two.

178
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,960
So we're, we're two for two on both of our couples.

179
00:09:54,100 --> 00:10:00,360
The last thing I think is interesting and where as a couple, we might diverge because I might want to do this.

180
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:00,640
Okay.

181
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:04,860
Would you ever want to live on a boat or a sailboat?

182
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,020
Live on a sailboat?

183
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,680
Yeah.

184
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:07,680
Right.

185
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:11,880
I, I, I don't know how small it would be though.

186
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,060
It would have to be comfortable.

187
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:13,940
I have to be comfortable.

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Okay.

189
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Yeah.

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,600
It has to be crammed into the corner with a blankie.

191
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:20,560
I would have to have all the comforts.

192
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:29,060
It doesn't have to be top of the line, but I would have to not worry about, Oh, I got to go to the bathroom and go in that comfortable studio apartment size cabin.

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,680
Absolutely.

194
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,640
I would take that adventure.

195
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:32,160
And I know my wife would shoot.

196
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:32,620
She would.

197
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,100
Yes.

198
00:10:33,260 --> 00:10:33,580
Okay.

199
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:35,140
You know, that's where you got now.

200
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:36,360
I think I would.

201
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,620
I do not.

202
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:39,260
I do not think Kelly would.

203
00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:42,080
In fact, we'll ask, this could be the next instance.

204
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:45,460
The next episode of I was wrong for the rest of our lives.

205
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,840
She would, um, just to do it for a while.

206
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:50,660
Yes.

207
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,440
I believe.

208
00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:59,440
And I'm answering for my wife and I could be wrong too, but I think I, I know we, that adventure, if it was me and her and we had this kind of like, you would want to do it.

209
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:08,460
We'll live in there for a And, and I'll tell you, I'll tell you how the closest I got to that and how comfortable it was a couple of years ago, we went on vacation.

210
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:11,620
Our Airbnb was a yacht.

211
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,220
Now you hear, yeah, but that's a yacht is because of a certain size, right?

212
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:15,520
Yeah.

213
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,260
I called the yacht over, but this side of four bedrooms had the kitchen.

214
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,100
And when I walked in there, I felt like I can't do this for one night.

215
00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:25,800
It was just, it was weird.

216
00:11:25,940 --> 00:11:27,040
It looks small.

217
00:11:27,260 --> 00:11:28,320
It felt small.

218
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,120
I felt like within like 24 hours, it was, it was great.

219
00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:34,260
It was like, this is cool.

220
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,480
So when you asked me that, that's exactly what I thought.

221
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:39,100
I'm like, I could do that.

222
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:39,820
You know?

223
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,300
Yeah.

224
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,620
So yes, that's it.

225
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:42,600
So that's interesting.

226
00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:46,600
Would you do a little house, a tiny home, tiny home, what they're called?

227
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:56,900
I don't know if I would want to live with one, live in one all the time, but an RV, you know, you see these people all the time that have like, that's what they do, right?

228
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,120
They've got jobs where they work remote and they just like go from state park to state park.

229
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,060
And I kind of like it because they're also nice.

230
00:12:05,140 --> 00:12:08,640
It's not like, you're not, you know, it's not, they're not awful.

231
00:12:09,580 --> 00:12:17,860
Sometimes I look at YouTube programs and I see those people that are, Hey, quit my job, sold everything.

232
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:25,000
And now I'm living in my van, but they have it all set up with, you know, air conditioning, heating, you know, TV, dishwasher.

233
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,260
And I go, you know, certain age, of course, right.

234
00:12:30,380 --> 00:12:31,780
To do it by yourself.

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:32,820
Right.

236
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:36,440
Maybe it's going to be tough, but now everybody has a video.

237
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:44,380
So you're really not by yourself because you're kind of, you kind of like pretending like you have all these people with you when you turn the camera on and you do these videos.

238
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,320
But I look at it and go, that could be fun.

239
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:51,800
I feel like I haven't seen anywhere in the world, just this country.

240
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,760
You've probably seen more of the world.

241
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,860
There's so many places I've never been to the grand Canyon.

242
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:03,000
Like there's all kinds of beautiful places in this country that I, that I would like to see that I haven't.

243
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:05,640
And yeah, I think that, that could be cool.

244
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,280
You know, I think part of my job, part of my job, all my job is to travel.

245
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,040
So I think I take that.

246
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,760
I kind of, I scratched that itch and you want to be home.

247
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,180
Yeah.

248
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:22,860
I'm more like, let's get back home because I see so many places that I would have never traveled to.

249
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:23,200
Yeah.

250
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,080
So those were the three questions.

251
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,300
You're questioning the third one.

252
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:26,800
Yeah.

253
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:36,980
I think I'm two out of three with, and yeah, I don't know if she, I don't know how excited she would be for that, but knowing Kelly, I think she kind of, she might start off one way.

254
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,940
Then I think you might go, Hey, and she can be taught.

255
00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:40,500
I don't know.

256
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,100
She would probably end up enjoying it.

257
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:43,420
Yeah.

258
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,960
But it's not something that she would ever bring up.

259
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:50,300
It would take some convincing, I think, but you never know.

260
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,880
We'll see if we can get her to watch.

261
00:13:51,940 --> 00:13:52,320
Let's do that.

262
00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:52,860
Okay.

263
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,260
So we got what?

264
00:13:54,420 --> 00:13:58,480
18 years to wait, but we're homeschooled Josie.

265
00:13:58,580 --> 00:13:59,120
That's right.

266
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,280
And then we'll all go on.

267
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:04,800
We'll all get this huge like RV and we'll just 60 foot airstream.

268
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,520
I love the stainless steel.

269
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,100
I would love to, I would love to do that.

270
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,860
Let's do it.

271
00:14:09,940 --> 00:14:10,240
All right.

272
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,900
You know, our retirement plan.

273
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,540
So that is, that is the latest episode of I was wrong.

274
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:23,920
So now we're going to move on to what just happened.

275
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:26,480
And there's lots to talk about.

276
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:28,060
A lot of things have happened.

277
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
So it's been almost a month, full month.

278
00:14:30,540 --> 00:14:35,740
So we had our four month follow-up at the pediatrician.

279
00:14:35,820 --> 00:14:38,360
So basically that all went well.

280
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,280
Everything was good.

281
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,080
We got to see, so it was a new doctor.

282
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:42,120
She was very nice.

283
00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:46,040
Had to have the second round of her three vaccines.

284
00:14:46,940 --> 00:14:48,500
Now this I thought was interesting.

285
00:14:48,620 --> 00:14:50,920
The nurse who did it, she was smart about it.

286
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,220
Right.

287
00:14:51,220 --> 00:14:54,620
When we did the first one, it was her very first vaccinations or first shots.

288
00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:56,340
It did not go well.

289
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:56,620
Right.

290
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,220
Like she obviously she was crying.

291
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:09,140
So now this, but this nurse spent, took a little extra time, got to know her, played with her a little bit, just a few minutes.

292
00:15:09,540 --> 00:15:16,220
But that little difference, it was like night and day, not the reaction.

293
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:17,660
It was the same exact shots.

294
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:21,420
The reaction was way, way less.

295
00:15:21,660 --> 00:15:23,860
The recovery was much quicker.

296
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:28,960
She was really like, that is something being a nurse for little kids like that.

297
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,580
This woman knew what she was doing.

298
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,320
It was, it was nice.

299
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,860
And of course the whole time I'm thinking I want zero association.

300
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,020
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I literally, when they're getting ready to do the shot.

301
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,800
And so it's like, there's the baby, there's the nurse who's doing a great job.

302
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,660
Kelly's right there next to the baby.

303
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:53,520
And I'm actively fading into the distance.

304
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,920
I don't want her.

305
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,200
The last thing I want is for that shot and her to see me.

306
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:06,180
I want no association between that stuff and me.

307
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,140
And I'm laughing at myself thinking it's just pathetic.

308
00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:12,640
I'm like, no, we're just going to back away.

309
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:14,740
Because you don't want to associate.

310
00:16:14,740 --> 00:16:17,900
I don't want her to associate anything negative with me.

311
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,200
Nothing negative.

312
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,260
Look at your mother.

313
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,020
Look at your mother and the nurse.

314
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,440
It's your mother who's doing this to you.

315
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,700
That's funny.

316
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,600
I was more of, I couldn't handle the pain and seeing the baby in pain.

317
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,500
I didn't want, you know what I mean?

318
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,220
I couldn't handle it.

319
00:16:33,380 --> 00:16:40,240
There is, I mean, and we'll talk about it more as we go through talking about kind of some of the transitions with our caregiver.

320
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,240
Yeah.

321
00:16:41,660 --> 00:16:50,460
Hearing her, for me, I think the hardest thing is the, like even the vaccination, the vaccination it's gotta happen.

322
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,980
You can't avoid it.

323
00:16:52,060 --> 00:17:03,480
What is killing me even right up until yesterday is when she's crying, I'm home, Carrie's here taking care of the baby.

324
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:12,099
And I hear the baby crying and I know I could probably go and solve it, right?

325
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:20,319
But I can't because she has to get used to, she has to get used to Carrie and she's got to get used to not always being with me and Kelly.

326
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:25,960
And that is just so hard to hear, to hear it.

327
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,880
Even if it's in the distance, I'll be on a conference call.

328
00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:31,520
I'll be in my office and I'll hear it in the distance.

329
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:40,160
And it's just, it's, I have to just hold on to the desk because I just, cause you, I know I could, I could make that end right now.

330
00:17:40,180 --> 00:17:44,340
So it's hard, but anyway, so we had the four month follow-up, she had her second round.

331
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:56,980
Now we haven't done it yet and it's been over a month since this, but they surprised us with, I didn't think this was going to happen to at least six months, but they said we could start her on soft foods at four months, but we haven't done that.

332
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:58,560
And I think we're probably going to wait.

333
00:17:58,660 --> 00:18:07,520
I think Kelly's preference is to keep her on nothing but breastfeeding breast milk for till it till six months.

334
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:19,500
But they did tell us that they did tell for height.

335
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Yeah.

336
00:18:21,180 --> 00:18:23,120
23rd percentile for weight.

337
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,820
She's very, very long and she's going to be pretty skinny.

338
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:38,860
And I was around that time when Kelly started back to work at the beginning of June, it was kind of, it was just two, six hour days.

339
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:41,020
So she has been ramping up.

340
00:18:41,140 --> 00:18:44,060
So it was just two days a week, six hours a day.

341
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,120
And my, I was at three, but I was the other three days.

342
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:58,340
So when she was working, I kind of was still off, but then I've ramped up now where I'm really at five, but we're, we'll call it four.

343
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:08,360
And over the, over time, Kelly has gone from two sixes to three sixes and then to three eights.

344
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,740
So now there are longer days and three days a week.

345
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,720
And she leaves the home.

346
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:23,160
And she, yes, she goes, she goes into, she goes into the office, but we have Carrie who comes in and gets here around 9.00 AM.

347
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,080
So usually from like 7.30 in the morning, you know, I, we get up very early.

348
00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:29,120
I start work.

349
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:39,740
I get through my emails and stuff by 7.30. When Kelly has to get ready, I have the baby from like 7.30 until around nine when Carrie gets here.

350
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:42,520
And then my, the rest of my work day continues.

351
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:53,940
And, and we kind of, we kind of do that and it's working out now thing is like you, you always say, whatever is happening, it just, it's going to change in a couple of weeks.

352
00:19:54,140 --> 00:20:04,880
And that's the because now her naps are kind of starting to consolidate for a couple weeks while we were making those adjustments.

353
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:15,240
She was ready for her nap at 8.30. So at 7.30, I take her, we'd play, we'd play, do whatever we do a little babble, teach her Italian.

354
00:20:15,940 --> 00:20:18,180
And then by 8.30, she's getting tired.

355
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:20,600
I put her down for her nap and she would kind of nap.

356
00:20:21,260 --> 00:20:22,520
Carrie would show up at nine.

357
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:28,900
She'd wake up around 9.20, 9.30 to carry and then we would kind of go through.

358
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,360
She'd have her first bottle at 10.

359
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,340
Well, now that, that nap is starting to move and sometimes it doesn't happen.

360
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,500
Sometimes she wants to eat before the nap.

361
00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:38,880
Right?

362
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,740
So all those things keep evolving, changing.

363
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:49,800
They are, but the good part was at that point, when we got to three days a week, Carrie was on board, the baby's getting used to her baby.

364
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,060
Josie is, is having fun with Carrie most of the time.

365
00:20:53,480 --> 00:21:00,620
And, and she's taking her bottle like she should, and she's getting her naps generally that was going well.

366
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:10,260
So really after that, it was around that time that we got into my brother, Mike came to visit.

367
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,960
So every year we do, uh, I missed that whole thing.

368
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,660
You did.

369
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,020
Well, well, cause you, you ended up having to work.

370
00:21:17,580 --> 00:21:30,760
So every year we do two big parties where we invite the extended family at one, usually, you know, sometime after end of July, beginning of August after the fourth, and then another one between Christmas and new years.

371
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:40,080
And so, and, and a lot of times my brother who lives in Tennessee will come for more often for the summer party because he doesn't want to have this.

372
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,100
He doesn't want to deal with the Syracuse snow.

373
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,960
He's smart enough to stay away.

374
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,640
So, but he came up and he was the last of my siblings to meet the baby.

375
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,380
So it was nice.

376
00:21:51,580 --> 00:21:56,340
Uh, he, he got to come up, he got to meet baby Josie and spend some time with us.

377
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,060
And that's cool.

378
00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:01,180
As I've talked about it, my brother is, I am the youngest of four.

379
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:02,440
He's the oldest.

380
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,460
So there's 19 years between me and my brother.

381
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,060
It's apparent.

382
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,300
And I always, I think looked, looked up to him more like a dad than a brother.

383
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:31,000
And so, but it's interesting because through the whole thing, the pregnancy and all that stuff, I kind of, I guess I might've expected a little kind of more advice or guidance or things like, you know, look out for this stuff like that.

384
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:31,180
Yeah.

385
00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:36,640
And you got this old, you're going to be great.

386
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:37,660
You're going to be a good dad.

387
00:22:37,660 --> 00:22:41,880
Everything that I said to you, everything, everything that you said.

388
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,120
And it was been funny because I thought maybe, maybe it'll all happen when, you know, when he's here.

389
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,000
And it was the funniest, it's the funniest thing.

390
00:22:51,140 --> 00:22:53,920
So it was none of that, not at all.

391
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:59,920
I mean, we always, I always enjoy spending time with my brother and we talked, you know, talk about a bunch of different stuff.

392
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:05,420
And obviously we talked about the baby and how things are going, but there wasn't any, there weren't any of those, those kinds of moments.

393
00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:14,500
And then afterwards he had a conversation with my sister, Paula, and I'm talking to her and she says, yeah, Michael said, how nice it was to see you so happy with the baby.

394
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,960
And I'm like, shouldn't I have told me?

395
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,720
You are my father.

396
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:23,400
You are dad.

397
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,840
I just got such a kick out of that.

398
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:28,900
I'm like, so he tells her like, so clearly it registers for him somehow.

399
00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:32,660
Cause I am, I'm, I'm over the moon all the time with this little girl.

400
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,860
So he mentioned him like, and I laughed and she's like, what are you laughing about?

401
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,680
I'm like, well, cause you know, he says that to you, but he might think you have it all together.

402
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:43,880
And you know, I don't, I mean, I don't, I don't know.

403
00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:46,220
I don't think my brother thinks anybody has it together.

404
00:23:46,660 --> 00:23:47,400
Oh really?

405
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:49,260
No, not really.

406
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:50,680
I mean, I don't know.

407
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,520
I think he thinks I'm going to, you know, I'm, I'm going to be a good father.

408
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:56,440
Obviously not a homeless man that didn't accomplish.

409
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,680
He has to see what he sees.

410
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,420
I don't know.

411
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,160
Yeah, no, I don't, I'm not sure.

412
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,580
Funny thing is I had my father and still do.

413
00:24:03,740 --> 00:24:07,800
And I still look at my older brother as like my parent.

414
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:10,940
Does, did Pete ever kind of give that on?

415
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,160
Cause he was a little bit ahead.

416
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,580
Like he had the kids before.

417
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:13,880
Absolutely.

418
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,320
He'll give me advice.

419
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,380
Unsolicited advice.

420
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,000
Absolutely.

421
00:24:18,620 --> 00:24:23,300
And he would tell you when you screwed up and he would tell, but we have a different relationship.

422
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,980
I don't think he would do that to Mike.

423
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:25,640
Right.

424
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:36,640
Cause there's a different rapport there where Pete and I have, you know, we've, we've kind of, we travel through this world together from Italy to Germany, to America, you know?

425
00:24:36,740 --> 00:24:38,820
So we have that, we have that bond.

426
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,100
It's a different kind of connection.

427
00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:46,480
So he, I've always worried about what he was going to think more than mom and dad.

428
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,120
Right.

429
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,340
They did not, they did not never put the fear in me.

430
00:24:51,020 --> 00:24:51,420
Right.

431
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,620
They put the fear in me like my dad's going to beat me.

432
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,040
He'll kill you if you're getting in trouble.

433
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,900
I never like, I'm going to disappoint my dad.

434
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:58,500
Right.

435
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:07,500
But the thought of disappointing my brother, and there's been a couple of times that I won't speak of that I can go right back to my head and still feel very ashamed.

436
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:07,980
Yeah.

437
00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:08,580
That I did.

438
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:09,180
Yeah.

439
00:25:09,180 --> 00:25:10,260
So yeah.

440
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:10,820
That's interesting.

441
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,420
So yeah, I was going to ask about that.

442
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,360
Cause I know with Pete, Pete, I could see that with you.

443
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,080
He's my best friend, older brother and parent.

444
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:18,520
Yep.

445
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,140
On both ends, mommy and dad.

446
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:27,840
Because again, for people that don't know, I grew up with parents that didn't speak English.

447
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:32,980
And even though I speak Italian, the older I got, my Italian just got a little worse and worse.

448
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,260
Sure.

449
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:37,740
So translation was harder, especially about feelings when you're a teenager.

450
00:25:37,740 --> 00:25:39,920
Could you imagine conversations?

451
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:47,260
It's hard enough to talk to your parents, but then put the barrier of maybe I don't know how to say that word.

452
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,660
I don't know how to use that, that, you know, that sentence correctly.

453
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,240
So then you just don't talk about it at all.

454
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:55,660
So yeah.

455
00:25:55,820 --> 00:26:00,840
So, and then Pete was the standard, you know, and he was like, he's going to ask those questions.

456
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:02,520
So yeah, that's interesting.

457
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:03,340
So yeah.

458
00:26:03,380 --> 00:26:07,640
So that was, that was kind of a, it was kind of interesting, but it was, it was very nice.

459
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,300
He's here for a few days for the party.

460
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:10,940
The party was a lot of fun.

461
00:26:11,140 --> 00:26:13,080
It was kind of a different group this time.

462
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:24,400
It was, you know, my usual, my cousins locally, Kelly's family, her brother and his wife came, her cousin, Michelle, and the husband, Jason came.

463
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,020
It was, they're, they're great.

464
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,200
They came with their little girl and yeah.

465
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:39,360
So, so it was them that like usual, but then we invited some, we invited some, some people from, from church that came and father come in.

466
00:26:39,380 --> 00:26:40,480
You said, did he ever make it?

467
00:26:40,540 --> 00:26:43,620
It's funny when I invited him, he's like, well, what time?

468
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,300
And I said, well, you know, we started about one o'clock.

469
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,260
He's like, well, I have a, I teach a class at, at one o'clock.

470
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:53,340
And then I have pre Canaan meetings at two and three.

471
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,040
And then I have four o'clock mass.

472
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,400
I could come after that.

473
00:26:56,420 --> 00:26:57,080
And I said, sure.

474
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:04,740
So at some point or another, I'll basically buy like, man, it was probably getting to be, we started at one o'clock.

475
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:11,340
It was getting to be about five and somebody was hungry and I didn't want him to have a cold hamburger.

476
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,200
So I'll throw a couple more on the grill.

477
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:15,540
So I'm all by myself out by the grill.

478
00:27:15,540 --> 00:27:17,640
And I hear a car is like a second round.

479
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:18,180
Yeah.

480
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,560
Like this is hours later.

481
00:27:19,580 --> 00:27:20,880
Like I cooked everything at one o'clock.

482
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:21,280
Gotcha.

483
00:27:21,420 --> 00:27:25,100
So I'm out on the deck by myself and I'm just cooking like two hamburgers.

484
00:27:25,380 --> 00:27:29,840
So, and I, I turned around and there's father, he showed up and, but he didn't stay.

485
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,640
He's like, I've got a, he had, he got called.

486
00:27:31,740 --> 00:27:34,340
He had to go to the hospital for something, but it was nice.

487
00:27:34,460 --> 00:27:35,640
He did pop in.

488
00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:38,520
So we invited some, some folks from church that came.

489
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,240
We invited some of our friends from the Marina who were very nice.

490
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,700
They were, uh, it was nice.

491
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:45,520
Cause there, there's like our boat.

492
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,660
And then the next three boats, there's three couples.

493
00:27:48,860 --> 00:27:50,360
They're all really nice.

494
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,040
And they've been great since we've been on that side of the Marina.

495
00:27:54,180 --> 00:27:57,480
So they, the three, those three couples came, they all brought gifts.

496
00:27:57,580 --> 00:27:58,000
It was nice.

497
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,920
One of them brought, brought this thing.

498
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,320
It has a Fisher price hedgehog.

499
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:10,740
It's like, it looks like a little stuffed hedgehog, but it's kind of blocky and kind of like, it doesn't look like a usual stuff.

500
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:20,040
But it basically, you press a button on it and it'll play different little songs like nursery Remy songs and it vibrates.

501
00:28:21,380 --> 00:28:26,220
And that thing was an instant, instant hit with, with, with the baby.

502
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,200
She's at the point now where she's starting to sit up more.

503
00:28:29,460 --> 00:28:35,380
So I will take the, the Boppy, the one breastfeeding pillow, I'll put it on the bed.

504
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,860
Like it's a park lounger and put her in it.

505
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,900
So she's kind of there.

506
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,640
And then I'd give her that thing.

507
00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:48,060
And it's like, and she'll just, she'll hold it and they hit the button and it vibrates and plays songs and she loves it.

508
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,480
So it's, they brought us to that.

509
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,100
They brought us that, which was really nice.

510
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:54,560
Could you imagine what is going through that little girl's brain?

511
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,160
Like what is all these things that are happening?

512
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,920
My body's moving.

513
00:29:00,180 --> 00:29:01,660
What is this?

514
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:03,080
Yeah, no, it's crazy.

515
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:05,100
She loves, she loves that.

516
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:05,300
Yeah.

517
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:07,360
The Hedgehog was a big, big hit.

518
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,220
She did really well with, cause it was a lot of people.

519
00:29:10,220 --> 00:29:16,020
I think it ended up being like, it's, you know, 35, maybe all told.

520
00:29:16,060 --> 00:29:16,700
He had a nice day.

521
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,600
So people were outside.

522
00:29:17,780 --> 00:29:18,800
No, it was weird.

523
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:27,840
It was, it was hot enough that like some people went out and ate on the deck, but I had set up a tent and and no one was going outside.

524
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:29,100
Everybody stayed inside.

525
00:29:29,620 --> 00:29:35,520
It was, it might've been, it was a little hot and it was sunny, but you never know.

526
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:36,300
You never know.

527
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,000
But it was, it was good.

528
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:42,240
So we had, we had, but you know, very thoughtful gifts from lots of people who came.

529
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:43,340
We had, it was a nice time.

530
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:52,560
I did feel like with Kelly focused on obviously taking care of the baby, it was harder than it's usually is.

531
00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:53,880
You guys used to be the team doing it.

532
00:29:53,880 --> 00:30:03,520
We were always kind of, we're all kind of floating from group to group and it was much more, it was much harder to check in with everyone.

533
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,480
And it felt like I didn't have enough time with everybody.

534
00:30:08,060 --> 00:30:08,160
Yeah.

535
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,620
But it was, it was really nice.

536
00:30:10,820 --> 00:30:11,300
Yeah.

537
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:11,880
Yeah.

538
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,200
Or just, you know, people kind of gravitate to their own groups all the time.

539
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,960
So that was, we had that.

540
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:22,400
My brother was here through that kind of that weekend, but we had a nice, nice time.

541
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:29,500
And then we rolled right into kind of that next transition from three sixes to three eights.

542
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:46,720
So, so again, that kind of adds on a new dimension of now it's three bottles during the day instead of two because Kelly was getting home about three 30, getting done at three o'clock, getting home at three 30 and it was perfect timing and she could feed the baby.

543
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,020
And that was a, so it was just adjusting to that.

544
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,020
And that was also at the time when all of a sudden the naps start moving and changing.

545
00:30:55,220 --> 00:31:01,340
So it's, it is a lot of like, you barely get it figured out.

546
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,700
And the next thing, it changes and you're like, okay, what do we, what do we do now?

547
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,820
So we did that.

548
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,560
Things had been getting smoother and smoother.

549
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,320
And then we moved in.

550
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:21,280
Then we just started over that time, especially in the last couple of weeks, there's all these developmental changes.

551
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:30,920
She is just like, it's all of a sudden, it's like she's on, it's like a video game where you unlock new skills, right?

552
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,980
Like it's new levels have been added.

553
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:33,620
It's crazy.

554
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:33,820
Yeah.

555
00:31:33,820 --> 00:31:39,540
It's like, boom, all of a sudden her facial expression is like, now there's, there's, it's just more complex.

556
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:48,660
She's expressing different, like she, you can see that she's either confused or annoyed or yeah.

557
00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:49,840
You can read her face now.

558
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:50,180
Yeah.

559
00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:52,900
She's not just the facial expressions are more there.

560
00:31:53,020 --> 00:31:54,780
She's more engaged.

561
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,800
She's, she's interested.

562
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:57,760
She's looking at things.

563
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,580
She's watching things more critically.

564
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,940
She's interacting with stuff.

565
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:25,380
My, my thing that really nothing has motivated me more to get myself on a diet than the fact that I will be holding her and she will just reach up and grab my, like just grab a handful of double chin and be like, I'm like, Oh, it's horrible.

566
00:32:25,660 --> 00:32:27,000
I just like, Oh my God.

567
00:32:27,140 --> 00:32:36,500
But it's much nicer when she gets, when she gets the beard, like she'll get in there and she'll get, but when it's just, I'm going to, I'm just going to grab, grab your chin.

568
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,560
There's so much landscape there.

569
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:46,180
I gotta remind you about every like nook and cranny because they will find it and squeeze at it.

570
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:46,560
Oh yeah.

571
00:32:47,100 --> 00:33:00,160
Her new thing is when she did it at church the other day, we're at church and she went in the middle of the creed and she almost ripped the glasses off Kelly's face and literally she had to stop her.

572
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,440
But yeah, I remember those days.

573
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:05,040
