00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400
Your boys had, they had hair like right out of the chute?
2
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:04,240
No, no, no.
3
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:06,140
They did and they lost it.
4
00:00:06,460 --> 00:00:06,700
Right.
5
00:00:06,820 --> 00:00:07,460
Yeah, so then they...
6
00:00:07,460 --> 00:00:09,400
And then how long was it before they were...
7
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:09,960
It was a while.
8
00:00:10,180 --> 00:00:10,400
Yeah.
9
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,840
So it's interesting because I've been concerned...
10
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:13,220
I think.
11
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:14,240
I've been concerned about this.
12
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,059
She had very little.
13
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,880
And it's just been kind of just a little bit there.
14
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:20,580
But in the last couple of weeks, it's starting to show up.
15
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,940
Yeah, I think Nick, actually, I think Nick had a hairdo.
16
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,320
We used to call a pumpkin with like a, look like a pumpkin with a wig.
17
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,000
With a, he had like a side comb.
18
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,420
A comb over.
19
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:34,340
But I don't know how long that took for that to happen.
20
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,080
It seemed like he had it forever.
21
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,920
But I know there had to be a point where they were both bald.
22
00:00:38,220 --> 00:00:38,680
But months.
23
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,220
They were both bald.
24
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:39,980
Yes, absolutely.
25
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:43,200
Now, her sister didn't have hair until she was three.
26
00:00:43,660 --> 00:00:43,900
What?
27
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:46,840
No, she was, her hair didn't come in.
28
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:47,320
That's different.
29
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:49,280
Yeah, until she was almost three years old.
30
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,640
And so I'm like, and I was like, oh, I hope that that...
31
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,020
So I've been very relieved over the last couple of weeks.
32
00:00:55,220 --> 00:00:57,060
You can see it kind of pop, yeah, it's coming in.
33
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:12,200
This is the Gray Hair and Day Care Podcast.
34

Your hosts, Frank Serio and Carlo Russo.
36
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,740
Welcome back to Episode 29, Part 2.
37
00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:27,640
The deuce.
38
00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:28,980
The deuce.
39
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,940
We are, sometimes, as every parent knows, there's just too much poop for one diaper.
40
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:34,980
That's right.
41
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,920
And we had to split it up, be cautious.
42
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,320
So we're going to bring you the rest of all the things we didn't talk about.
43
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:44,460
Yeah, we're going to get you all caught up.
44
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:45,160
That's it.
45
00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:46,220
So we're going to get you caught up.
46
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:47,420
Thank you for sticking with us.
47
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,940
And here is the rest of Episode 29.
48
00:01:51,740 --> 00:01:52,200
The deuce.
49
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:53,980
The deuce.
50
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,540
It's getting more and more kind of cute babble-y stuff.
51
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,380
Lots of shrieking, lots of very high, yeah.
52
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,780
I remember being on the phone with you a couple of times and...
53
00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:06,880
You're in the background.
54
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:10,120
You can hear her back there just like having her own conversation.
55
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,900
Yeah, but the grip, the grabbing stuff.
56
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:17,360
The other day, she literally just took a clump out of Watson.
57
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:23,080
She got, she just, because now she's, she pays a lot more attention now to both dogs.
58
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,940
But with Watson in particular, because he's like, if she's in your lap or she's in her high chair now, he walks over.
59
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:34,920
And it was funny because he knows he can't react.
60
00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:37,660
So you'll just whistle, you're like...
61
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:42,260
And all of a sudden, you'll look and there's a tuft of black.
62
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320
It's like, oh, we got to work on that.
63
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:49,540
And the baby's nails, they're like razors when they kick.
64
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,200
I don't know what it is.
65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,800
They are.
66
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,560
You can cut them nice.
67
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:56,760
And it's like, and it's like this, you'll bleed out.
68
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,600
They're like little razors.
69
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,340
It is, right?
70
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:03,620
And Kelly's always working on it.
71
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:06,900
Like, I'll come in and she'll be in the rocker.
72
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Because that's the way.
73
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:10,960
They will cut you to pieces.
74
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,320
Yeah.
75
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:18,100
And she'll get her, like, it doesn't take much because when she's tired, she likes to grab her ear and she scratched her ear.
76
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Yep.
77
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:20,620
You'll see babies cut just like...
78
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:20,820
Yeah.
79
00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:22,420
Because they're just...
80
00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:22,820
Yeah.
81
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:29,200
I remember those days and they just grab you and you are cut up.
82
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:29,560
Yep.
83
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,620
There is that.
84
00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:41,600
The other big thing developmentally, which has been going on for a while, and I can't wait to see when this finally, all this that she has been going through comes to fruition, is the teething.
85
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:46,260
Is really, it really bothers her.
86
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,620
And it's like, it seems like there's a cycle where there'll be a day where she's fine.
87
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:53,920
Then there'll be a day of just drool.
88
00:03:54,620 --> 00:03:56,440
She's like a fire hose.
89
00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:58,780
And then the next day it hurts.
90
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,560
And it's so hard because she'll be in a great mood.
91
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,520
She'll be smiling.
92
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:09,580
And then all of a sudden she'll be like, she'll just shriek and cram her hand in her mouth.
93
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:10,560
Like, it really hurts.
94
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:13,440
So, we started with like the...
95
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:13,580
Whiskey?
96
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,160
The baby...
97
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Yeah.
98
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:15,940
We should...
99
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:16,320
For yourself.
100
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:16,760
Yeah.
101
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,100
For me.
102
00:04:17,339 --> 00:04:20,000
The baby anvisol or baby like that stuff.
103
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,000
But that, honestly, what we've done when it's really, when you can tell it's really bad, we give her Tylenol and that really helps.
104
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:29,380
But man, it's just like, you can tell.
105
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,940
Because she's such a happy baby all the time.
106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,440
And she'll just be like...
107
00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:38,920
But it's like, when it hits her, she's...
108
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,380
It's funny.
109
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:41,660
I remember we would always be caught up in like...
110
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,480
It would take us like two days to figure it out.
111
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,420
Like, oh, it's teething.
112
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:49,080
We'd be like, what's going on?
113
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:49,880
We just forget.
114
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:52,120
Because like you said, it goes so quickly.
115
00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:54,780
And it's like, oh, yeah, she was drooling.
116
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:55,080
Oh, shit.
117
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,320
He was drooling.
118
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:57,060
Like, you know.
119
00:04:57,220 --> 00:04:57,420
Yeah.
120
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,100
But we always forgot until like the second ago.
121
00:05:00,620 --> 00:05:02,000
Oh, it's probably...
122
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:02,580
It's another one.
123
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,200
It's probably teething.
124
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:03,620
Yeah.
125
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:05,520
And that's a tough one.
126
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,900
I mean, that's a little time frame of...
127
00:05:08,780 --> 00:05:09,820
Let's get through this.
128
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,740
Let's get through this.
129
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:11,700
Because it could get...
130
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:11,980
Yeah.
131
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,400
It could get a little bit weird.
132
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,860
Yeah, it definitely...
133
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:16,940
And, you know, and there can be all those other...
134
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:21,160
There's all kinds of other symptoms that can happen too from it.
135
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:21,540
Right.
136
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,820
You know what the funny thing you'll notice too with teeth?
137
00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:25,880
It's so funny.
138
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:33,500
You look at your baby now and you've seen your baby for almost six months now to look a certain way, no teeth in the mouth.
139
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,800
And it's kind of the cue that...
140
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,740
And then all of a sudden they have like that...
141
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:38,040
It's gonna be a jack-o-lantern tooth.
142
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,060
Yeah, that one tooth.
143
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,720
And it kind of changes the look of your child.
144
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:42,320
Oh, yeah.
145
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,500
And you're like, oh, yeah.
146
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,540
Well, we're gonna have teeth in that face, aren't we?
147
00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:46,680
Yeah, I forgot about that.
148
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,500
I think about it all the time because I'll see her and she immediately gives me this big open mouth smile.
149
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:54,200
And it's just gums.
150
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:55,040
And yeah.
151
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:55,980
But that's how you see your face.
152
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:56,820
Like that's what you...
153
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:58,700
And it's such a cute little look with that.
154
00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:01,080
And then one day it's gonna do that and you're gonna have these like...
155
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,380
And you're gonna be like, hey there.
156
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:04,440
Hi, okay.
157
00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:05,820
And then they bite you.
158
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,380
Yeah, it's not bad enough when she bites you with the...
159
00:06:09,380 --> 00:06:10,220
Exactly, the gum.
160
00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:10,820
With the gums.
161
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:11,460
The gum, yeah, yeah.
162
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,020
But yeah.
163
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,700
But that is...
164
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,360
Your next step is like, oh, yeah, you're gonna change your look.
165
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,680
Because it does...
166
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,180
Think about it.
167
00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:20,640
If you took your teeth out right now, your whole face would look different.
168
00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:22,380
Yeah, that's true.
169
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:22,740
You know what I mean?
170
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:23,740
Yes, absolutely.
171
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,520
So I remember seeing that with my kid going, okay, I gotta get used to this look.
172
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Yeah.
173
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:33,660
Because you were so damn cute with that little gummy smile and such a baby.
174
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:34,680
It's gonna be interesting.
175
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,360
I think the next thing though that I'm happy about...
176
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,620
And I don't...
177
00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:39,100
Well, how...
178
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:40,540
Your boys had...
179
00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:42,420
They had hair like right out of the chute.
180
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,280
No, no, no.
181
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:45,060
They did and they lost it.
182
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:45,780
Right?
183
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,540
Yeah, so then they had...
184
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:48,420
And then how long was it before they were...
185
00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:48,980
It was a while.
186
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Yeah, like I see Josie and it wasn't six months.
187
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:54,000
It was...
188
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,260
So it's interesting because I've been concerned about this.
189
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,920
She had very little and it's just been kind of just a little bit there.
190
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,600
But in the last couple weeks, it's starting to show up.
191
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:04,400
Yeah, I think Nick...
192
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,980
Actually, I think Nick had a hairdo.
193
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:06,940
Okay.
194
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:09,480
I think because it looks like he...
195
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,780
We used to call a pumpkin with like a...
196
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:14,240
Looked like a pumpkin with a wig with a...
197
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,760
He had like a side comb.
198
00:07:16,220 --> 00:07:17,120
A comb over.
199
00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:21,080
But I don't know how long that took for that to happen.
200
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,820
It seemed like he had it forever.
201
00:07:22,940 --> 00:07:24,160
But I know there had to be a point...
202
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,400
But months.
203
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:25,960
They were both bald.
204
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,720
Yes, absolutely.
205
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,380
Now, apparently, and this...
206
00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:32,680
I was concerned because Kelly and her sister favor each other.
207
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,720
They resemble each other.
208
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:34,040
Yes, absolutely.
209
00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:34,540
Right?
210
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,520
But her sister didn't have hair until she was three.
211
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:38,220
What?
212
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:40,260
No, she was...
213
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:41,180
Her hair didn't come in.
214
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,660
That's different.
215
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,540
Yeah, until she was almost three years old.
216
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:45,160
And so I'm like...
217
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,720
And I was like, oh, I hope that...
218
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,300
So I've been very relieved over the last couple of weeks.
219
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:49,500
Seeing hair.
220
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:50,560
You can see it kind of...
221
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Yeah, it's coming in.
222
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,600
She was bald-bald?
223
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:53,680
I guess.
224
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,500
That's...
225
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:55,380
I mean, I don't...
226
00:07:55,380 --> 00:07:55,760
Was there a picture?
227
00:07:55,940 --> 00:07:56,640
You haven't seen pictures?
228
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,040
I haven't.
229
00:07:57,300 --> 00:07:57,960
I didn't...
230
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,540
Yeah.
231
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:00,140
She said she was almost three years old.
232
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:00,880
It's getting into pre-K.
233
00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:01,860
Yeah.
234
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,320
I'm like, how can that be three years old?
235
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:06,060
But yeah, but the teething...
236
00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:07,400
It'll be interesting to see the two.
237
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:08,620
Is Kelly's hair straight?
238
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:09,320
Yes.
239
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,240
Straight and very fine.
240
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:11,580
Okay.
241
00:08:11,780 --> 00:08:12,880
Katrina all her life.
242
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,620
Had straight hair.
243
00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:15,840
Couldn't curl it.
244
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,300
She would curl it to go out, do something different.
245
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,520
And within hours, it'd be back to straight.
246
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:25,080
And then she got pregnant with our first.
247
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,860
And her hair went...
248
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:28,300
Her hair got curly.
249
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,440
Hair's been curly since.
250
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:29,940
Isn't that interesting?
251
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,159
And she went her whole life with straight, pin straight.
252
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,100
Not thin, but probably like Kelly's.
253
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:36,340
Yeah.
254
00:08:36,740 --> 00:08:38,280
And the pregnancy just...
255
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,900
Whatever DNA got it.
256
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:40,860
Whatever that happened.
257
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:41,600
That's interesting.
258
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,700
She now has curly hair now that's over 25 years.
259
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:45,500
That's something.
260
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:46,920
It's going to be interesting to see.
261
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,400
I think her eyes are settling now where she's going to be...
262
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:51,860
The color you mean?
263
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:52,420
Yeah.
264
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:52,920
Oh, is it?
265
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,340
I guess I haven't really...
266
00:08:54,340 --> 00:08:54,500
Yeah.
267
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:57,440
It's certainly not Kelly's or my color.
268
00:08:57,780 --> 00:08:58,200
Like brown.
269
00:08:58,560 --> 00:08:58,680
Kelly's what?
270
00:08:59,020 --> 00:08:59,560
Kelly's brown.
271
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Oh, really?
272
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,720
So you're looking at two...
273
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,520
Yeah, but two of my siblings are...
274
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,180
My sister's blue eyes, Lucille.
275
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,580
And my brother's eyes are hazel.
276
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Okay.
277
00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:09,220
Okay.
278
00:09:09,220 --> 00:09:09,900
So you got it in there.
279
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:13,140
I think in Kelly's family too, there's some hazel.
280
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,200
Remember what your dad and mom's?
281
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,820
I think my...
282
00:09:15,820 --> 00:09:17,000
Somebody had some color there.
283
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,180
I think my mom and dad were both brown eyes.
284
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,080
My dad might've been hazel.
285
00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:22,700
I'm not sure.
286
00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:22,980
Yeah.
287
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,040
That's a good question.
288
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:27,980
And yeah, so the teething has been a thing for a while there.
289
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,860
The chicken mitten was the go-to teething thing.
290
00:09:32,260 --> 00:09:32,780
It's interesting.
291
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,940
It's like this thing is...
292
00:09:34,420 --> 00:09:35,400
It looks like a chicken.
293
00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:35,900
Sure.
294
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:36,740
And...
295
00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:38,520
But it's made like a gauntlet.
296
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,220
So it's like it goes over her hand.
297
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:40,620
Okay.
298
00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:43,620
And then there's a little bar on the inside so she can hang on to it.
299
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:44,160
Makes sense.
300
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,620
So she would just cram that thing in her mouth.
301
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,280
We'd put it on when she was going down for a nap and you'd see her.
302
00:09:48,860 --> 00:09:51,200
She'd just cram it in her face and get it in there.
303
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,080
I've never...
304
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,660
Is this an old thing or is this new?
305
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:55,340
I don't think it's new.
306
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:56,700
I don't remember that at all being an option.
307
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,200
They're latex-y kind of soft.
308
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,260
Yeah, I don't remember that at all.
309
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:02,020
And the thing worked like a charm.
310
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,080
But now she's not...
311
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:13,320
Honestly, now what works the best is a frozen or close to frozen washcloth that she'll just suck on that.
312
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,760
And that helps with the teething.
313
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600
And then she's obviously just been growing.
314
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,220
So again, she's approaching...
315
00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:21,380
She's going to be six months in a couple weeks.
316
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,220
But she's already kind of sizing out of an outgrowing six-month close.
317
00:10:27,540 --> 00:10:28,300
And it's because...
318
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:29,460
It's not because she's big.
319
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,320
She's because she's really skinny.
320
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,640
Again, 85th percentile for length, 23rd for weight.
321
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:47,440
But we talked about it before she was born that if the baby got Kelly's legs and my torso, she'd be 6'5", right?
322
00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:48,460
Because you would...
323
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:49,560
So how tall are you?
324
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,620
5'6", on a good day.
325
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:53,560
So you're 5'6", I'm 6 feet.
326
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,880
And the two of us wear the same inseam in our pants.
327
00:10:58,900 --> 00:10:59,620
We wear the same clothes.
328
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,960
Because I have the...
329
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:07,600
So I have the legs of a man who's 5'6", and the upper body of a man who's 6'4".
330
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,880
So I have a very long torso.
331
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:13,080
And the baby seems to be at this point...
332
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,400
On that route.
333
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:14,260
On that route.
334
00:11:14,380 --> 00:11:14,700
Where...
335
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,720
Because she's got little stubby legs and a big long torso.
336
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:19,920
But she's still sizing out of like...
337
00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:21,560
And again, there's so much...
338
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:26,540
With all the showers and getting gifts and people are giving you these cute outfits.
339
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,840
Kelly did a really good job of keeping it organized and having everything by size.
340
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:38,420
But she just discovered like a whole cache of six-month clothes that we didn't even use.
341
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:39,920
That she's already like...
342
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,980
She's like cramming her in maybe once.
343
00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:45,720
It's like there's three outfit changes a day.
344
00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:48,220
Because you just want to at least wear the stuff once.
345
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:48,620
I know.
346
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:52,440
So many clothes that are just in and out and they're gone.
347
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,000
They're just...
348
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:54,300
You know, yeah.
349
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:55,660
That will stop.
350
00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:56,480
Yes.
351
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,020
Eventually.
352
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:58,520
But yeah, right now you're in it.
353
00:11:58,780 --> 00:11:59,560
Things are like...
354
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:00,240
Yeah.
355
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,360
Remember that outfit that...
356
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,420
She can't wear it anymore.
357
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:03,760
It's always like...
358
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,080
It's always the like...
359
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,420
And they're starting to stretch.
360
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:08,400
She's got all kinds of room laterally.
361
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:09,120
Right, right, right.
362
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:10,180
But it says it won't...
363
00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:11,140
It can't stretch out.
364
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,040
Don't miss any of the fun.

366
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:20,900
The other thing that was interesting...
367
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:21,840
So we have this...
368
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,580
We talked about...
369
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:26,720
We have the UPPAbaby stroller and the UPPAbaby car carrier thing.
370
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:27,060
Of course.
371
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:35,760
And the way that has worked is we still use the car carrier and she goes in that and then that car carrier used to plug into the stroller.
372
00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:37,100
So you could use it.
373
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,480
You could either get the car carrier for the stroller or bassinet.
374
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,240
The bassinet.
375
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:43,720
So we did the car carrier one.
376
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:50,520
But she's big enough now that we were trying it out to see and she can actually...
377
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Because she's so long, she can go in the stroller like a regular kid now.
378
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:54,500
Really?
379
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:55,020
Yep.
380
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,700
So the other day, Carrie had gone.
381
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,560
Kelly was coming home from work and I thought...
382
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:03,300
And I had to go.
383
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:03,760
I had a...
384
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,580
My tractor had a flat and I had put some air in the tire.
385
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,800
Sounds like a good country song.
386
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:09,400
It was...
387
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,080
My tractor had a flat and my wife left me.
388
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:15,660
So I wanted to go out to the carriage house.
389
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:21,400
So I thought, well, instead of just carrying her out there, I'm like, oh, we'll take the stroller for a little test drive.
390
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:27,480
So I get her in there and I got to set up, like set the harnesses up and get it sized for her.
391
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:33,900
And I got her in there in the garage and I got her all buckled in and she's sitting there and ready to go.
392
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Okay.
393
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:43,900
So I hit the garage door and the dogs run out and I walk out of the garage and I've got sunglasses on.
394
00:13:43,940 --> 00:13:44,820
It was a beautiful sunny day.
395
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,980
All of a sudden I feel this pain in my eye, my right eye.
396
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,240
And I'm like, I don't know what's happening.
397
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:02,160
And I got the stroller and our house is kind of set up high on the property.
398
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:08,940
So it's a little bit of a downhill immediately when you leave the house to the driveway.
399
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,780
So I'm right there and I got this, I don't know.
400
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,060
And then I hear buzzing and I can feel it.
401
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:15,320
Oh God.
402
00:14:15,620 --> 00:14:17,600
And it was a hornet.
403
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:18,260
Oh God.
404
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:24,780
Had flown between my glasses, my sunglass and my eye and was stinging my right eye.
405
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,440
My worst nightmare.
406
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,700
That hurt really bad.
407
00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:31,600
In your eye.
408
00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:31,960
Yeah.
409
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,160
And it's not stopping.
410
00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:34,040
It's repeated.
411
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,160
So I have to, so I let go of the stroller for just a second.
412
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200
So I can take my sunglasses off and kill the hornet.
413
00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:45,620
So I take the sunglasses off, I kill the hornet.
414
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:45,960
I get it.
415
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:59,220
And I rub my eye and I open my eyes to see, it was like that scene in the Untouchables where Elliot and they're in the train station and Elliot Ness is trying to save the stroller going down the baby stroller.
416
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,280
I see her rolling away.
417
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:01,600
What?
418
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Yeah.
419
00:15:02,260 --> 00:15:05,120
She's literally rolling away from me and accelerating.
420
00:15:05,860 --> 00:15:07,160
So I quick run.
421
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:07,820
Oh my God.
422
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:08,540
And I catch her.
423
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:10,960
You have one eye, your baby's on a run.
424
00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:13,920
And I just, I'm just like, I'm rubbing, rubbing my eye.
425
00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:15,320
And now I got her so I'm okay.
426
00:15:16,140 --> 00:15:18,640
And, but I'm like, man, that hurt like the dickens.
427
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,020
And I got, so I went and went and looked, came back inside and I looked at the, I looked like I got punched in the face.
428
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Sure.
429
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,260
It was like literally, it stung me in the top of my top eyelid and bottom eyelid.
430
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,880
It was all puffed up.
431
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,340
So I took some, Kelly comes home.
432
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,360
I'm like, look what happened to me?
433
00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:38,200
She's like, what happened?
434
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,540
The baby punched me up.
435
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,380
And so, so I took some Benadryl and some Tylenol and put some ice.
436
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:45,820
I was two days of ice.
437
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:46,860
Yeah, just, yeah, messing with it.
438
00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:48,020
It was, man, it was bad.
439
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:48,540
Wow.
440
00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:49,400
That's horrible.
441
00:15:49,580 --> 00:15:55,400
But I will, so I will share with you later that night.
442
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:55,800
Yeah.
443
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:59,140
I thought I wanted, cause we have cameras all over the place.
444
00:15:59,260 --> 00:15:59,920
Oh God.
445
00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:03,820
I'm like, maybe there's a camera right where that happened.
446
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,300
I'm like, I wonder if the camera caught what happened.
447
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:13,920
So here is the actual footage of what I just described.
448
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,180
I'll edit it in so you can see it.
449
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:24,300
And what you're going to see is you'll, you'll see a lonely stroller just roll into frame and then me run over and catch it.
450
00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:26,320
But now, you know, the backstory of it.
451
00:16:26,380 --> 00:16:26,520
Yeah.
452
00:16:26,620 --> 00:16:34,280
Now, you know, so here, here it is little baby Josie's stroller adventure and her, uh, her half blind father to the rescue.
453
00:17:00,830 --> 00:17:01,530
Wow.
454
00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:05,150
So I hope you enjoyed our security footage.
455
00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:06,790
That's crazy.
456
00:17:06,790 --> 00:17:13,869
My favorite part of the video is that Watson is there first, just watching everything happen to me doing nothing.
457
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:17,329
And then when the thing starts rolling, he's just like, okay, I'll go.
458
00:17:17,410 --> 00:17:17,829
I'll go there.
459
00:17:17,910 --> 00:17:18,690
He just runs away.
460
00:17:18,910 --> 00:17:19,970
It's like, what good are you?
461
00:17:20,050 --> 00:17:20,930
You're 85 pounds.
462
00:17:21,010 --> 00:17:23,470
You could have stopped that thing in its tracks, but nope.
463
00:17:25,450 --> 00:17:28,410
He's like, I guess he must want to do this.
464
00:17:28,610 --> 00:17:29,110
Oh my God.
465
00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:30,170
That's crazy.
466
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:33,710
Just, yeah, it was, uh, it was pretty bad.
467
00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:36,770
So, uh, but I'm, I'm all better, mostly all better now.
468
00:17:36,850 --> 00:17:37,850
I still have a little bit of a bum.
469
00:17:38,130 --> 00:17:38,650
That's great.
470
00:17:38,890 --> 00:17:45,850
But yeah, and now we're going to move into another, another fan favorite book report.
471
00:17:48,410 --> 00:17:53,490
So the book report as is often the case is not a book, but it is an article.
472
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:59,070
It is an article from, this was from pop side.com, popular science.com.
473
00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:59,450
Sure.
474
00:17:59,610 --> 00:18:00,570
I read it all the time.
475
00:18:00,570 --> 00:18:10,950
It was interesting article about why children always want to watch the same video or read the same book every night.
476
00:18:11,030 --> 00:18:13,470
Oh, I'd like to learn about that.
477
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,210
And I thought that, I thought, oh, okay.
478
00:18:15,310 --> 00:18:17,070
I haven't, we haven't really run into that yet.
479
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:20,790
Although, oh yeah, I'm sure we will.
480
00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:22,310
You will.
481
00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:23,130
Yes.
482
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:24,210
I'm sure it'll happen.
483
00:18:24,690 --> 00:18:33,650
I mean, there are things that she seems to have preferences with little books that Kelly will read to her, but not, she's not asking for anything.
484
00:18:34,170 --> 00:18:45,410
So the way they explain it, which I think makes a lot of sense is that little kids, especially as they get older and they're starting to communicate more, they don't have any control.
485
00:18:46,370 --> 00:18:46,470
Right.
486
00:18:46,670 --> 00:18:49,170
And there's not a lot of predictability in their life.
487
00:18:49,210 --> 00:19:03,810
Basically they're doing whatever it is you're putting in front of them or, and that the reason that they, that they will pick that same book or that same movie is there is a predictability and a safety in that selection.
488
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:06,370
They know it, it's their thing.
489
00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:11,790
And it gives them a sense of control that they don't have otherwise.
490
00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:12,470
Wow.
491
00:19:12,670 --> 00:19:19,790
But it is maddening for the parent because it's always the same thing, always the same book.
492
00:19:19,790 --> 00:19:25,390
So they basically explain that like, that's kind of what's going on with the kid when they're always asking for that same book.
493
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:32,590
But then they gave you some strategies too about how to make it not mind-numbing and awful.
494
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:33,530
Right.
495
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:35,610
Like you don't always have to let them choose.
496
00:19:35,730 --> 00:19:36,330
You can choose.
497
00:19:36,530 --> 00:19:53,270
But if they do keep choosing that same book, find different ways to get them to interact with them because that's the other thing is for them, it isn't just kind of mindless repetition because they're seeing new things every time you read it.
498
00:19:53,810 --> 00:19:58,970
Every time you read that book to them, they're learning something new or they're following along in a different way.
499
00:19:59,030 --> 00:20:01,170
Their mind's going different every time they're going different places.
500
00:20:01,390 --> 00:20:01,830
Exactly.
501
00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:04,110
Where ours is like just reading what's in front of us.
502
00:20:04,110 --> 00:20:06,150
We're kind of absorbing it all at once.
503
00:20:06,270 --> 00:20:06,450
Yeah.
504
00:20:06,590 --> 00:20:16,030
So to focus on that and how to get them to focus on different things or, or just different ideas coming out of that, that same book over and over again.
505
00:20:16,030 --> 00:20:22,270
We used to, believe it or not, it sounds horrible, but they watched more TV, you know, almost and stuff like that.
506
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:23,290
But we did the book thing.
507
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:32,110
And sometimes you just, I used to do it with different accents and characters and stuff like that just to change it up for yourself.
508
00:20:32,730 --> 00:20:32,830
Yeah.
509
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:55,250
But what I've noticed when my kids, and this is going back 18, 25 years ago, the shows had to become kind of like adult humor as well, because they knew parents were hearing this over and over and over or, and you could tell like, Oh my God, like everything was like, that's kind of funny for me.
510
00:20:55,330 --> 00:20:55,710
Yeah.
511
00:20:55,790 --> 00:21:01,630
Because they have to keep us kind of in the loop because we're hearing it 200 times a day.
512
00:21:01,690 --> 00:21:02,530
Yeah, absolutely.
513
00:21:02,670 --> 00:21:03,350
That makes sense.
514
00:21:03,450 --> 00:21:09,750
I did notice that going, huh, this is kind of not adult, but enough where I'm sitting and they're going, that's a joke.
515
00:21:10,010 --> 00:21:11,550
Oh, that's, they meant to do that.
516
00:21:11,670 --> 00:21:12,330
That's funny.
517
00:21:12,490 --> 00:21:16,210
They're, they're, they're trying to weave, weave in stuff to give you a laugh too.
518
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:18,930
Because they know we're watching it over, you know what I mean?
519
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,130
Yeah.
520
00:21:19,130 --> 00:21:24,890
Because I've seen Almost Saves Christmas and you know, so yeah, you have to put it in there.
521
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:29,430
You have to write knowing that there's probably some adults watching this over and over.
522
00:21:29,470 --> 00:21:32,290
I do think that they've, a lot of these shows have gotten better.
523
00:21:32,370 --> 00:21:50,370
There's actually one of the, I saw a TikTok the other day and there was this guy and he was basically, you see him kind of sitting there watching TV and the little, the, the caption was when you're, when you're into the third episode of Bluey and your kids have gone to, went to sleep an hour and a half ago, they're still watching it.
524
00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:57,830
You know how many times I did that and I would turn around and I'd find out, you know, my childhood fell asleep and I don't change the channel.
525
00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:59,630
I would just, well, I'm in it now.
526
00:21:59,770 --> 00:22:00,190
That's right.
527
00:22:00,490 --> 00:22:01,470
It was a two-parter.
528
00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:02,550
We want to see the rest.
529
00:22:02,770 --> 00:22:03,810
So that's interesting.
530
00:22:04,050 --> 00:22:06,170
Yeah, no, I thought, I thought that, I thought that was.
531
00:22:06,170 --> 00:22:09,830
So again, so that was from popside.com.
532
00:22:09,970 --> 00:22:11,750
It was a very interesting article.
533
00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:13,850
It was fairly well sourced too.
534
00:22:13,930 --> 00:22:24,530
Like they went through and it was a kind of an aggregation of like 1,700 studies done over 20 years on the whole subject.
535
00:22:24,790 --> 00:22:25,430
It was interesting.
536
00:22:25,610 --> 00:22:27,150
And that is our book report.
537
00:22:28,530 --> 00:22:41,430
So there was that, that little, a little adventure, but then now that we had the stroller as part of the, you know, it was more functional because in the, the stroller was nice for us, but she couldn't really see anything.
538
00:22:41,430 --> 00:22:42,810
So now, but now she's in there.
539
00:22:43,630 --> 00:22:46,350
So we took our first trip to the zoo.
540
00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:47,890
We went to the zoo.
541
00:22:48,050 --> 00:22:50,570
Now it might be a little premature again.
542
00:22:50,910 --> 00:23:05,150
She's not, about the only thing she even noticed was when we rolled her right up to one of the enclosure for the penguins where you could see the penguins swimming and there's like a penguin swimming up and she's like, Oh, she kind of, that got her attention.
543
00:23:05,310 --> 00:23:11,930
But everything else, it was so funny because Kelly's like, look, this is a, this is a camel and this is a baby.
544
00:23:12,050 --> 00:23:15,070
It's like looking at her foot, whatever.
545
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:17,450
But he's like, our dog's got a lot bigger.
546
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:20,090
Why do they look different?
547
00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:21,370
They look different.
548
00:23:21,970 --> 00:23:27,850
But so we, we took, we had our first, first trip to the zoo.
549
00:23:27,850 --> 00:23:32,870
We also had, I think I talked about, did we ever talk about the mambo baby float?
550
00:23:33,410 --> 00:23:34,850
No, I don't think so.
551
00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:44,010
This is one of the myriad of things that have been pushed to me in my newsfeed on Facebook that would be good to buy for the baby.
552
00:23:44,170 --> 00:23:46,990
So there's this, it's called the mambo baby float.
553
00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:49,550
So it's a solid, it's not inflatable.
554
00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:56,390
It's like a solid float that the baby can kind of almost like this chair, but the baby can sit in.
555
00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:56,810
Okay.
556
00:23:56,810 --> 00:23:57,870
It has a canopy.
557
00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:58,470
Sure.
558
00:23:58,590 --> 00:23:59,170
And it's a float.
559
00:23:59,290 --> 00:24:03,490
She's all strapped in, velcroed in and it's for the pool or for the lake.
560
00:24:03,890 --> 00:24:05,390
So we brought it with us.
561
00:24:05,490 --> 00:24:19,230
We've been out on the lake a couple times with the boat and it's always interesting because typically you're anchored up like in a bay and most people are like walking around and drinking beer and then they look and they always kind of do a double take.
562
00:24:19,310 --> 00:24:24,030
Usually Watson and Rumpel get the attention because they're like, oh, look at the dog.
563
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:26,070
Watson's very striking in his red.
564
00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:32,270
He has a bright, bright, like fire engine red life preserver and then he's black and white.
565
00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:33,810
So people are always like, oh, look at the dog.
566
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:41,510
But now they're like, that guy's got a baby because you don't see a lot of babies out on the boat and they'll be like, oh, there's a baby there.
567
00:24:41,850 --> 00:24:46,190
So, but then, so we got to try out the mambo baby float in the lake.
568
00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:46,990
It was very nice.
569
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:53,230
She, she wasn't like super excited, but she was like, she was kind of looking around like, okay, this is a new experience.
570
00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:54,090
Yeah.
571
00:24:55,090 --> 00:24:56,550
So, so we did that.
572
00:24:56,650 --> 00:25:01,110
We also tried it out over at my, my sister's house in her pool.
573
00:25:01,370 --> 00:25:01,710
Okay.
574
00:25:01,870 --> 00:25:03,410
She liked the lake better.
575
00:25:03,450 --> 00:25:05,270
I think because the lake was warmer.
576
00:25:05,590 --> 00:25:08,950
The pool, the pool was colder because it was pretty cold.
577
00:25:09,070 --> 00:25:09,970
I was in there with her.
578
00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:10,350
Gotcha.
579
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:15,770
So we did our trip to the zoo and we had, we tried out the mambo baby float, which we really liked.
580
00:25:16,030 --> 00:25:16,610
That's cool.
581
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:19,150
Is it tied to the boat or you just walk around with it?
582
00:25:19,370 --> 00:25:20,350
We just tow her behind.
583
00:25:20,350 --> 00:25:22,130
I go slow, 20 miles an hour.
584
00:25:22,890 --> 00:25:33,290
No, I just, I just, I literally, we put her in it and then I'm in the water and we're shallow and yeah, I'm standing.
585
00:25:33,870 --> 00:25:37,310
So she literally, Kelly hands the baby to me.
586
00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:39,730
I put her in the water and we float her around.
587
00:25:40,050 --> 00:25:48,070
I think what we're going to do ultimately, because we keep taking all these cute pictures and I want to share them, but we don't want to share her face.
588
00:25:48,130 --> 00:25:49,130
So I'm going to have to come up.
589
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:58,890
I think I'm going to start like blocking out her face so we can at least show you some pictures so you can get an idea of some of the, the antics that, that baby Josie.
590
00:25:59,070 --> 00:26:10,930
What I did when I did photos of my family on vacation and people that don't need to be on social media, I just put like, you know, the round happy face over their face.
591
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:11,410
Yep.
592
00:26:11,730 --> 00:26:12,690
Yeah, that's what we'll do that.
593
00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:14,750
So we'll start, maybe start to do that.
594
00:26:14,770 --> 00:26:16,650
But what we do have pictures of.
595
00:26:16,790 --> 00:26:17,410
What do we have pictures?
596
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:22,110
We have pictures of, and you can, you can see, I put them in your, in your, in your packet.
597
00:26:22,370 --> 00:26:22,730
Let's see.
598
00:26:22,990 --> 00:26:27,830
So, and so as we, as we look at these, I will put them up.
599
00:26:27,910 --> 00:26:34,830
So on video, so you guys can see, I thought I would let you see kind of the, the nursery is nearing completion.
600
00:26:34,830 --> 00:26:43,530
So the first picture you'll see is the nursery painted with the, with the little hot air balloon light fixtures that I put up.
601
00:26:44,110 --> 00:26:49,430
And again, that the white, the white area, I think it came out really nice.
602
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:53,470
The white area kind of above the chair rail to the ceiling.
603
00:26:53,710 --> 00:27:10,190
What we haven't done yet is we're going to paint in black line, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and Piglet in different, different kind of setups to make it look like it's a coloring book that hasn't been colored in yet.
604
00:27:10,530 --> 00:27:11,970
All unfinished coloring book.
605
00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:12,410
Exactly.
606
00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:16,270
So we're, I haven't done that part yet, but we're ready to do it.
607
00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:25,110
I got a little projector off Amazon for like 70 bucks and it's a short throw projector and I already have the images made up.
608
00:27:25,170 --> 00:27:26,490
I made up the images in Photoshop.
609
00:27:26,930 --> 00:27:36,850
So one image is going to be Tigger and Pooh and Piglet in their own hot air balloon kind of floating over the hundred acre wood.
610
00:27:36,890 --> 00:27:42,110
And then the other image on the other wall will be all the other characters.
611
00:27:42,110 --> 00:27:53,850
So Kanga and Roo and Eeyore and Rabbit all kind of looking out over a valley kind of, and it'll look like they're kind of looking at the hot air balloons going by.
612
00:27:54,570 --> 00:27:55,230
Oh, that's going to be awesome.
613
00:27:55,230 --> 00:27:55,930
So that's that.
614
00:27:56,270 --> 00:27:58,870
So the next picture is a lot less exciting.
615
00:27:59,050 --> 00:28:06,270
It's just Kelly picked out a bunch of stuff from Ikea to have as much storage as possible in the closet.
616
00:28:06,530 --> 00:28:06,890
That's good.
617
00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:08,710
So we put that, got that.
618
00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:12,070
I finished up the closet, got that stuff in there.
619
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:25,110
And then the next few pictures, just for scale first, this next picture is the little door that we talked about last time, the mouse door and the bay window.
620
00:28:26,270 --> 00:28:27,650
So that's how big it is.
621
00:28:27,690 --> 00:28:29,390
You can see the outlet in the upper left.
622
00:28:29,510 --> 00:28:29,610
Yeah.
623
00:28:29,730 --> 00:28:30,930
So they're pretty small.
624
00:28:31,010 --> 00:28:33,110
I think the door is only like four inches tall.
625
00:28:33,330 --> 00:28:33,510
Yeah.
626
00:28:33,710 --> 00:28:37,530
But again, that little door opens and you'll see the next working.
627
00:28:37,530 --> 00:28:57,490
The next picture is I took styrofoam insulation and carved the steps and then painted it and used real little rocks and fake moss to make it look like there's like a rock set of stairs up to the door.
628
00:28:57,790 --> 00:28:58,470
So you'll see that's right.
629
00:28:58,550 --> 00:29:03,330
So then you can see the next picture is kind of the whole thing as it will sit there.
630
00:29:03,330 --> 00:29:11,710
So there's a little steps up to the door and then the door opens and that will be the little house where the mouse lives.
631
00:29:11,890 --> 00:29:12,330
Okay.
632
00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:18,930
So just for people that might have not heard what you're doing, a little quick thing of what this is.
633
00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:39,870
So basically we got the idea that it would be fun to have a little, almost like a doll house built into the wall that little baby Josie will see that she'll be able to peek in and we'll be able to tell her about the magical mouse that she never sees but lives in the wall.
634
00:29:40,690 --> 00:29:45,550
And you'll see as we move through the pictures, we'll be able to kind of dress it up.
635
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:48,490
So at Christmas time, the mouse will have a little Christmas tree in there.
636
00:29:49,410 --> 00:29:52,410
So there's a secret entrance that you can move stuff around.
637
00:29:52,570 --> 00:29:53,050
Yes.
638
00:29:53,050 --> 00:29:58,090
And the child will have no idea how these things happen except the mouse did it.
639
00:29:58,410 --> 00:29:58,630
Exactly.
640
00:29:58,850 --> 00:30:02,750
So the next picture you'll see is from the other side of the wall.
641
00:30:02,850 --> 00:30:09,290
So I got a hole in the wall and you can see that's the door and that's the view from inside the wall.
642
00:30:09,890 --> 00:30:09,990
Right.
643
00:30:10,290 --> 00:30:16,730
And the next picture is the little diorama that will be in there.
644
00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:20,050
So when she looks in there, it's not done yet.
645
00:30:20,050 --> 00:30:23,690
But when she looks in there, she'll see the little rocking chair and the fireplace.
646
00:30:24,010 --> 00:30:27,010
The fireplace has a little log set that lights up.
647
00:30:27,390 --> 00:30:27,910
Of course it does.
648
00:30:28,190 --> 00:30:29,470
I haven't painted that.
649
00:30:29,670 --> 00:30:36,290
You can see the little area rug and the bed and the door and she'll be able to see.
650
00:30:36,350 --> 00:30:39,850
So we'll be able to kind of decorate for the holiday.
651
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:41,270
Yeah, you can change it up.
652
00:30:41,390 --> 00:30:45,230
Yeah, for Christmas and Easter and that kind of stuff.
653
00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:49,210
And then the last picture is kind of the way the panel is.
654
00:30:49,210 --> 00:31:00,830
So there's that frame, that white frame that I have a panel that once that little diorama is in the wall, I close it up and it just looks like there's an access panel on the wall.
655
00:31:01,370 --> 00:31:02,510
But that's it.
656
00:31:02,570 --> 00:31:10,450
So my next step really is I got to paint the fireplace and there's a little side table and some other little things.
657
00:31:10,550 --> 00:31:13,530
There's a gas lamp that goes on the wall that lights up.
658
00:31:13,530 --> 00:31:23,030
So I'm going to, over time as I, with all my free time, I'm going to little by little get that finished up and then it'll all be in there for her to look at.
659
00:31:23,170 --> 00:31:32,270
I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now, I know this is a crazy thought, but we have the stamp of copyright to this.
660
00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:33,850
This is a business, man.
661
00:31:34,330 --> 00:31:38,010
I know this is a, dude, let me tell you something.
662
00:31:38,010 --> 00:31:50,010
What this is going to create is such a cool thing that if anybody's watching this is going to be like, oh my, you've taken Elf on a Shelf to the next level.
663
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:51,790
I did think about that.
664
00:31:52,010 --> 00:31:55,930
I could put together a kit where people could do this.
665
00:31:56,030 --> 00:32:04,150
The hard part is not everybody has the wall where you can get at it, but I could make it so that you could do it from the front.
666
00:32:04,150 --> 00:32:04,830
Absolutely.
667
00:32:05,610 --> 00:32:22,290
So I might, this is such a, because as you're looking at this, the idea of a little girl boy, you can have them all different types of gender to, to think something's going on in this mystery world, in this magical world.
668
00:32:23,270 --> 00:32:23,750
Yeah.
669
00:32:24,050 --> 00:32:38,410
Eventually when they go to school and tell their friends, a mouse lives in the, in the, in a house in your wall that has a Christmas tree and a fireplace, they will be talked to by professionals, but up to that point, your business will be thriving.
670
00:32:38,650 --> 00:32:41,790
You live in Brewerton and there are mice in your, in your room.
671
00:32:42,010 --> 00:32:42,250
Yes.
672
00:32:42,350 --> 00:32:46,330
And they have a bed and they have a fireplace and a kitchen.
673
00:32:46,530 --> 00:32:47,110
That's yeah.
674
00:32:47,310 --> 00:32:48,610
It's going to be, this is amazing.
675
00:32:48,790 --> 00:32:51,230
It's, it's, I've, I've enjoyed it a lot.
676
00:32:51,290 --> 00:32:52,610
I'm looking forward to finishing it up.
677
00:32:52,730 --> 00:32:56,610
The last picture is actually, this is the projector.
678
00:32:56,930 --> 00:32:57,290
Yes.
679
00:32:57,550 --> 00:33:04,150
So this is how I'm going to do the walls to make it look like the, to make it look like the uncolored coloring book.
680
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:05,650
So I project the image up there.
681
00:33:05,670 --> 00:33:10,010
So you can see there's the, the hot air balloon with Pooh and Tigger and Piglet.
682
00:33:10,290 --> 00:33:12,110
And basically I project it up there.
683
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:14,830
We're going to trace it and then paint it.
684
00:33:14,830 --> 00:33:15,590
Oh, that's what you're going to, okay.
685
00:33:15,650 --> 00:33:21,750
Because I was going to try to figure out, are you keeping the projector on as, as a part of the room?
686
00:33:22,030 --> 00:33:22,950
Just that's the way.
687
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:24,030
Now you're going to trace it over.
688
00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:24,450
That's it.
689
00:33:24,450 --> 00:33:25,330
I went into Photoshop.
690
00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:27,590
I gave it the dimensions of the wall.
691
00:33:27,630 --> 00:33:29,270
I made the drawing.
692
00:33:29,270 --> 00:33:30,430
So it filled it.
693
00:33:30,610 --> 00:33:36,590
And now I just turn the projector on, trace, and then hand paint over the traced line.
694
00:33:36,830 --> 00:33:38,010
And hopefully it comes out looking good.
695
00:33:38,370 --> 00:33:39,010
We'll see.
696
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:45,150
This is going to be, as we said, you paint the whole thing and you keep the projector just on it all the time.
697
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:45,770
All the time.
698
00:33:45,930 --> 00:33:47,350
What are you going to do with the projector?
699
00:33:47,470 --> 00:33:50,310
Once you, are you using the projector or something else?
700
00:33:50,670 --> 00:33:51,390
Or that's what you bought?
701
00:33:51,390 --> 00:33:56,670
I had a projector that I borrowed from work, but it didn't, it, it couldn't be close enough.
702
00:33:56,670 --> 00:34:00,490
And I thought, well, I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a new projector.
703
00:34:00,570 --> 00:34:01,990
Because all you're doing is retracing, right?
704
00:34:01,990 --> 00:34:03,010
I'm just using it for that.
705
00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:09,489
But I found it on, on Amazon and it's a high def, 1080p projector, short throw for $70.
706
00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:12,210
So you can play anything on it.
707
00:34:12,409 --> 00:34:12,630
Yeah.
708
00:34:13,030 --> 00:34:13,409
Yeah.
709
00:34:13,469 --> 00:34:13,810
Like literally.
710
00:34:14,190 --> 00:34:14,770
You can hook it up to your computer.
711
00:34:15,350 --> 00:34:17,770
Or, or a video source, anything with HDMI.
712
00:34:18,929 --> 00:34:24,590
So like the, the advertisements for it on Amazon show it like people showing movies outdoors or stuff like that.
713
00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:24,850
Yeah.
714
00:34:24,929 --> 00:34:27,969
You could use it like a home theater projector if you wanted to.
715
00:34:28,050 --> 00:34:30,510
It's not great, but it's certainly good enough.
716
00:34:30,889 --> 00:34:33,230
And for 70 bucks, I was like, okay, I'll give this a try.
717
00:34:33,449 --> 00:34:36,530
And yeah, it's a, it's a short throw projector from Amazon.
718
00:34:36,530 --> 00:34:37,889
I'll put the link up for it.
719
00:34:37,969 --> 00:34:42,570
Cause it really it's, it's decent for 70 bucks.
720
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:48,210
So those are, uh, those are the updates with the nursery and what, what is coming.
721
00:34:48,870 --> 00:34:50,449
You're doing some extra stuff.
722
00:34:50,449 --> 00:34:54,370
I mean, with the little house in the wall and I love that.
723
00:34:54,570 --> 00:35:06,130
You know what I think about a lot is with the mouse in the wall, I want to make it believable enough that it takes her a little longer to figure out.
724
00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:07,770
That it's not.
725
00:35:07,890 --> 00:35:09,270
That it isn't, that it is.
726
00:35:09,370 --> 00:35:15,250
I want her, I want her to believe longer than I did in those things.
727
00:35:15,250 --> 00:35:21,870
Like that story I told, and I'll do it quickly about trying to get Santa Claus.
728
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:25,590
And if you're listening with your children, obviously Santa Claus exists.
729
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:33,730
I'm not saying he doesn't, but I'm saying the story that I had about when my kids friends were like, no man, Santa's your dad.
730
00:35:33,830 --> 00:35:36,770
And we're like, my kids are like, there's absolutely not.
731
00:35:36,850 --> 00:35:37,710
No way.
732
00:35:38,110 --> 00:35:39,470
My dad, my dad doesn't.
733
00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:46,490
Cause we used to, we would go to the, how we would go to sleep at my in-laws house, which was like an hour away from home.
734
00:35:46,830 --> 00:35:48,150
And my kids knew me so well.
735
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:57,270
They're like, I got you because my dad would never wake up at two in the morning, drive to my house, put out these toys that he would never buy us.
736
00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:57,670
Right.
737
00:35:57,910 --> 00:35:58,210
Right.
738
00:35:58,470 --> 00:36:00,910
So yeah, we kept it longer.
739
00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:01,310
Yeah.
740
00:36:01,370 --> 00:36:02,450
I want her to do that.
741
00:36:02,570 --> 00:36:05,750
I want her to have, have some whimsy and some.
742
00:36:05,870 --> 00:36:08,810
The thing is it's done with such detail.
743
00:36:09,030 --> 00:36:09,450
Yeah.
744
00:36:09,650 --> 00:36:11,430
That it is very believable.
745
00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:13,710
Like, it's not like this fake, like, okay.
746
00:36:13,710 --> 00:36:17,570
Like this weird thing that's sticking out of your wall.
747
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:29,850
There was more than one point in the, cause literally like when I'm doing this, I'm cutting, cutting a hole in the wall, taking measurements, going into SketchUp, building 3d models, figuring it out.
748
00:36:30,030 --> 00:36:31,110
Like I take it seriously.
749
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:35,170
And Kelly would be like, well, you, does it really have that?
750
00:36:35,230 --> 00:36:35,490
Yes.
751
00:36:35,690 --> 00:36:36,010
Yes.
752
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:38,930
It was like, does it have to be the same?
753
00:36:39,070 --> 00:36:39,450
Yes.
754
00:36:39,490 --> 00:36:41,090
It has to be all to scale.
755
00:36:41,410 --> 00:36:43,130
It's all one 24 scale.
756
00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:43,930
It's all got to match.
757
00:36:44,350 --> 00:36:51,550
You could, if you know what he does for a living, I mean, this makes so much sense of everything that you're surrounded with at work.
758
00:36:51,870 --> 00:36:55,290
Everything has to be, I mean, it has to look the part.
759
00:36:56,010 --> 00:37:01,930
But I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I think you found your, your calling on something because this thing can be masked.
760
00:37:02,690 --> 00:37:14,990
I'm telling you, this is a, such a great little thing at a certain age for your kid that every kid will go through that certain age of believable, you know, believing in this, that you could really create something.
761
00:37:15,510 --> 00:37:16,850
They are out there.
762
00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:17,530
Oh, they are?
763
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:18,070
On Etsy.
764
00:37:18,110 --> 00:37:18,370
No.
765
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:20,670
Well, Etsy, there's one.
766
00:37:20,910 --> 00:37:21,190
Okay.
767
00:37:21,390 --> 00:37:23,510
One person on Etsy who made one.
768
00:37:23,830 --> 00:37:27,110
And it's like a very, it's actually a kind of a neat looking door.
769
00:37:27,690 --> 00:37:33,950
And it's just, you open it up and there's just a tiny little bit like an entryway.
770
00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:45,850
But there are all these videos that I keep seeing online of people who are doing this, but it'll be like, there's a door in the molding and they open the door and the camera moves in.
771
00:37:45,970 --> 00:37:49,050
And it's the, it's the coffee shop from friends.
772
00:37:49,390 --> 00:37:50,150
Oh, wow.
773
00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:52,790
Like very detailed dollhouse size.
774
00:37:53,590 --> 00:37:56,810
But you can tell this person who's shooting these videos and putting it out.
775
00:37:57,130 --> 00:37:59,570
It's not actually in a wall.
776
00:37:59,650 --> 00:38:00,770
It looks like a wall.
777
00:38:00,890 --> 00:38:04,490
It's something they're doing this for the sake of just for video.
778
00:38:04,610 --> 00:38:05,110
Yeah, it's a video.
779
00:38:05,270 --> 00:38:06,330
It's a, it's a, it's a work.
780
00:38:06,490 --> 00:38:06,630
Yeah.
781
00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:09,190
But I, I mean, I think it's true.
782
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:18,030
I did it as a, as a project because I couldn't just buy it, but there are probably people out there who would be interested.
783
00:38:18,270 --> 00:38:21,210
So if you, when you see this, obviously you're watching it now.
784
00:38:21,410 --> 00:38:22,510
The detail.
785
00:38:22,710 --> 00:38:27,210
If you're interested, send me an offer and I'll put together a business plan.
786
00:38:27,330 --> 00:38:27,970
Hey, you know what?
787
00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:28,930
It's, it's.
788
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:30,110
It would be fun to do.
789
00:38:30,130 --> 00:38:30,870
It's such a neat thing.
790
00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:38,990
I would love the idea of other parents using something I made to get their kid to believe in something magical.
791
00:38:38,990 --> 00:38:39,890
I love that.
792
00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:42,590
And you can turn it into so many different avenues.
793
00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:43,510
It could be whatever you want.
794
00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:49,730
You know, yours is more like for a little girl that has like the house and like you said, you can make whatever theme you want it to be.
795
00:38:49,890 --> 00:38:50,450
I don't know.
796
00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:53,470
I just, when you told me about it, I didn't understand what you were saying.
797
00:38:53,770 --> 00:38:57,150
It's hard to describe, but when you see, when you start to see it come together.
798
00:38:57,170 --> 00:39:04,690
There's going to be a little doorway on the edge and then you go in and there's going to be a person and there's going to be a house and then I'm like, what are you talking about?
799
00:39:05,150 --> 00:39:07,730
And then, yeah, it's just, it's so neat.
800
00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:08,390
It's fun.
801
00:39:08,570 --> 00:39:10,210
Well, she's going to have a ball with it.
802
00:39:10,510 --> 00:39:11,390
I hope so.
803
00:39:11,890 --> 00:39:12,450
I hope so.
804
00:39:12,530 --> 00:39:13,090
It'll be good.
805
00:39:13,210 --> 00:39:14,690
It's been a fun project, but.
806
00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:15,270
Can't wait.
807
00:39:15,330 --> 00:39:16,790
Will you end up putting in there?
808
00:39:16,830 --> 00:39:18,210
Because you're going to find stuff to put.
809
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:19,250
Oh, there's tons of stuff.
810
00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:19,530
Yeah.
811
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:20,390
Tons of stuff.
812
00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:25,530
By Christmas, there'll be a Christmas tree in there and it will light up and there will be tiny presents.
813
00:39:25,810 --> 00:39:26,050
Yeah.
814
00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:29,830
That I didn't even think to even ask.
815
00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:32,870
Actually, the last thing I got to do, and it's not in the pictures because I haven't done it.
816
00:39:32,970 --> 00:39:34,730
I think I might, I already have them.
817
00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:46,890
There's little coach lights that light up that I could put on either side of the door so that everyone's, that's how, so that could be how she knows there's something new that she'll notice that the lights are on.
818
00:39:47,650 --> 00:39:48,050
Maybe.
819
00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:52,610
And the cool thing is, and you can correct me, she'll never see the mouse.
820
00:39:53,170 --> 00:39:53,410
No.
821
00:39:53,770 --> 00:39:53,930
Yep.
822
00:39:54,110 --> 00:39:55,170
It's always going to be imagination.
823
00:39:55,170 --> 00:39:56,090
That's it.
824
00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:59,110
When I was little and Sesame Street was a new thing.
825
00:39:59,250 --> 00:39:59,950
I don't know.
826
00:40:00,070 --> 00:40:01,610
I don't think it was always like this.
827
00:40:01,770 --> 00:40:04,890
I think after years, they started to let kids see it.
828
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:07,510
No one could see Snuffleupagus.
829
00:40:07,930 --> 00:40:08,210
Right.
830
00:40:08,370 --> 00:40:08,950
I remember that.
831
00:40:09,050 --> 00:40:09,150
Yep.
832
00:40:09,350 --> 00:40:11,210
Only Big Bird could see Snuffleupagus.
833
00:40:11,590 --> 00:40:14,010
And it would make me so mad as a little kid.
834
00:40:14,090 --> 00:40:15,150
Like, why can't they see one?
835
00:40:15,370 --> 00:40:16,050
I want to see it.
836
00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:16,930
You want to see it so bad.
837
00:40:17,270 --> 00:40:19,390
But yeah, no, she will never see Mr. Mouse.
838
00:40:19,550 --> 00:40:21,570
That's so, that's the cute part about it.
839
00:40:21,570 --> 00:40:22,330
But there will be evidence.
840
00:40:22,510 --> 00:40:23,970
There's going to be movement of things.
841
00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:24,410
Oh yeah.
842
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:26,970
She'll never have to, she'll never catch it.
843
00:40:27,130 --> 00:40:29,690
Mr. Mouse got a new slot machine.
844
00:40:31,110 --> 00:40:33,330
It's Mr. Mouse or Mrs. Mouse.
845
00:40:33,450 --> 00:40:34,210
We don't know what it is.
846
00:40:34,810 --> 00:40:37,830
Kind of goes right with Santa and the Tooth Fairy.
847
00:40:38,170 --> 00:40:40,390
And you know they're there, but you never see them.
848
00:40:40,510 --> 00:40:40,970
He's around.
849
00:40:41,450 --> 00:40:41,890
Yep.
850
00:40:42,710 --> 00:40:43,270
That's it.
851
00:40:43,610 --> 00:40:50,050
Well, we've made it to the end of probably a very long episode or two.
852
00:40:50,290 --> 00:40:51,670
This is probably the deuce.
853
00:40:51,790 --> 00:40:53,430
This might be, this might be a two-parter.
854
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:56,790
But we appreciate you coming back.
855
00:40:56,930 --> 00:40:57,390
I'm sorry.
856
00:40:57,490 --> 00:40:59,670
Something like the last episode was really long.
857
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:03,290
We're going to make a concerted effort to keep these a little bit shorter.
858
00:41:03,290 --> 00:41:05,910
Maybe break them up so they're a little bit easier.
859
00:41:06,110 --> 00:41:09,130
So you can ingest them at one time.
860
00:41:09,370 --> 00:41:11,390
I don't want you to be like, oh my goodness.
861
00:41:11,650 --> 00:41:13,290
I got to go on vacation to hear this.
862
00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:16,550
I could watch, I could read War and Peace or listen to the Pug.
863
00:41:16,950 --> 00:41:20,310
We're going to keep them a little shorter, but we appreciate it.
864
00:41:20,310 --> 00:41:22,530
And thanks for listening and watching.
865
00:41:22,750 --> 00:41:23,530
And we'll see you soon.
866
00:41:24,430 --> 00:41:28,690
