Tea Parties & Piggy Snorts: Gen X Dads Tackle 1-Year Milestones : Episode 35 Part 2

Welcome back to the parenting podcast for dads where the hosts are old enough to know better but doing it anyway! In Part 2 of our 35th episode, Frank and Carlo dive deep into the "Crash Test Daddy" files. If you are looking for new dad advice on how to survive a plastic tea party without losing your dignity, Frank has some hilarious fatherhood tips regarding the "diuretic" nature of imaginary tea.
Raising kids at 56 and 57 comes with a unique set of challenges, from navigating "percentile panic" at the pediatrician to managing a dad life that now includes a "VTech Prance and Rock Learning Unicorn". We also offer some baby advice for the budget-conscious: Frank's "Check, Please" segment reveals the running total for baby Josie has officially hit $8,785—and that's before the new car seat!.
This episode is packed with parenting comedy, including Josie's new "piggy snort" that is currently terrorizing the pews at church and the aisles of Wegmans. We also tackle the "Silver Fox Mailbox," where we defend the Cradlewise crib against YouTube "haters". Whether you're an older dad or just someone who enjoys humor in life, this episode provides the fatherhood advice, parent advice, and dad humor you need to survive parenting. Join us as we celebrate a Gen X fatherhood journey that Frank calls "the best year of my life". Being a dad has never been this funny—or this expensive.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,310
But she's still, she is like 75th percentile for height and 7th for weight.
2
00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:07,630
Wow.
3
00:00:07,930 --> 00:00:09,050
So she is...
4
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:10,030
Every girl's dream.
5
00:00:11,690 --> 00:00:12,690
And guys.
6
00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:13,110
Yeah.
7
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:14,690
We just don't talk about it as much.
8
00:00:14,830 --> 00:00:15,350
We'll see.
9
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:18,510
But back on track in the direction we wanted to be.
10
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:20,970
I mean, I have a feeling her body type is going to be like her mother.
11
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:23,490
She's that already.
12
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,250
I wouldn't be surprised.
13
00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:27,330
I think she should probably be about 10th percentile.
14
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:29,570
She's going to get to 10th percentile for weight.
15
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:32,750
And I think also because of the way she measured her.
16
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:33,650
I don't think she's 70.
17
00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:35,650
I think she's more than 75th percentile.
18
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:38,690
Because they were like, they didn't put her down and...
19
00:00:38,690 --> 00:00:39,230
It wasn't.
20
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:42,170
She was standing and she kind of was leaning.
21
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:43,390
Her lean, her north side lean.
22
00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:44,390
She was doing the lean.
23
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:45,510
So.
24
00:00:57,050 --> 00:00:59,790
This is the Gray Hair and Day Care Podcast.
25
00:01:00,550 --> 00:01:05,290
With a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ rate in that same range.
26
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:09,890
Your hosts, Frank Sirio and Carlo Russo.
27
00:01:11,150 --> 00:01:14,630
Welcome back to episode 35 part 2.
28
00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:18,170
We have a few more stories that we didn't have time to get to last week.
29
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:21,790
So we're back to finish up the job and get you all caught up.
30
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:23,230
So thanks for coming back.
31
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:25,350
And here is the rest of episode 35.
32
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:29,990
So here we are back with a segment we have not done in a long time.
33
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:32,830
And you will notice something has arrived here.
34
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:39,510
And this is our latest edition of Crash Test Daddy.
35
00:01:42,050 --> 00:01:44,090
So for Crash Test Daddy this time.
36
00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:44,590
What are we doing?
37
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:47,630
I think you probably can get the idea by seeing it.
38
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:49,190
We're having a tea party I think.
39
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:54,210
I think this is designed specifically for dads.
40
00:01:54,290 --> 00:01:55,450
It doesn't state that.
41
00:01:55,730 --> 00:02:03,810
But this is the Fisher Price Toddler Toy Laugh and Learn Sweet Manners tea set.
42
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:05,190
With music.
43
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:06,050
Of course.
44
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:07,110
And lights.
45
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:09,310
It is for dads.
46
00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:16,670
This takes the imagination almost completely out of this whole process.
47
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:18,010
It makes it real.
48
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:18,930
But it's fascinating.
49
00:02:19,210 --> 00:02:22,690
So as you can see you have the full set.
50
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:23,710
So you have a little sugar.
51
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:24,930
You got your spoon.
52
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:27,410
These are treats apparently.
53
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:28,190
Oh okay.
54
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:28,650
The heart.
55
00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:29,230
The tray.
56
00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:30,830
And then we have two cups.
57
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:31,470
Of course.
58
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:33,110
And the teapot.
59
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:36,450
The teapot also can open up.
60
00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:40,910
But you will see and I will give a little demo.
61
00:02:42,570 --> 00:02:44,490
It has multiple levels.
62
00:02:44,590 --> 00:02:46,210
So we're going to have Carlo try it out.
63
00:02:46,570 --> 00:02:46,870
Levels.
64
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:47,810
Different levels.
65
00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:48,170
Okay.
66
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:51,010
And it plays music once it's on.
67
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:51,830
Power.
68
00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:53,490
But we're going to I'll start it off.
69
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:56,370
So we're going to go I'll have you switch it to level one.
70
00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:58,630
And then just see what happens.
71
00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:59,970
All right.
72
00:03:00,090 --> 00:03:01,770
As I'm holding I don't have to put it back down right?
73
00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:02,570
I don't think so.
74
00:03:02,670 --> 00:03:02,830
No.
75
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,110
There we go.
76
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:08,640
Listen and learn.
77
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:09,360
I'm listening.
78
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,660
Two pretty cups to share our tea.
79
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,260
Pour me some.
80
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:20,760
One please.
81
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Two.
82
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,340
Three.
83
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,380
Four.
84
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Five treats.
85
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:30,220
Five treats.
86
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,640
So now let's go to level two.
87
00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:39,220
Please.
88
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,100
Green tea is ready.
89
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,240
Enjoy your tea.
90
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,140
I want my tea.
91
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,420
There we go.
92
00:03:57,980 --> 00:03:59,420
Of course.
93
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:00,900
The purple oval treat.
94
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:01,860
That's.
95
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,320
There we go.
96
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,120
Oh of course.
97
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:07,920
We've got blue tea.
98
00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:21,930
There's a sugar bowl.
99
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:23,650
Open that up.
100
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:25,670
Look at that.
101
00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:28,810
Would you please fill our cup?
102
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:29,670
Sure will.
103
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:30,970
We're drinking a lot of tea.
104
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:31,730
There's a lot of tea.
105
00:04:32,130 --> 00:04:33,470
This is a diuretic.
106
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:34,390
You gotta be careful.
107
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:37,610
This tea is delicious.
108
00:04:37,630 --> 00:04:38,310
It sure is.
109
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:39,490
Level three?
110
00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:40,150
Sure.
111
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,050
Level three.
112
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:45,930
Let's sing and play.
113
00:04:46,050 --> 00:04:46,830
Oh please.
114
00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:50,550
Pour some tea.
115
00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:53,870
Let me take the front desk cup of tea.
116
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,840
Wow.
117
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:07,620
Wonderful.
118
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,460
That is incredible.
119
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:10,920
It's fascinating, isn't it?
120
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:12,540
I'm thirsty.
121
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,640
After all that.
122
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,340
After all that.
123
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,120
Look at that.
124
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,000
But it's kind of, it's adorable in many ways.
125
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:19,940
So what I found out.
126
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Okay.
127
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,560
I guess when they ask us to do something, I think we hit this.
128
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:29,380
Well, yeah, maybe.
129
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:30,620
Because when they said let's sing.
130
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:31,720
Yeah, maybe it does a different.
131
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,560
Put it, throw it back to level one and see if it's a different song.
132
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:44,910
So you have to hit this.
133
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,550
After they give you the demand.
134
00:05:46,650 --> 00:05:47,290
So it gives you a little.
135
00:05:50,110 --> 00:05:51,070
There you go.
136
00:05:51,890 --> 00:05:53,670
So there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
137
00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:55,770
The Fisher Price.
138
00:05:55,770 --> 00:05:56,410
I'm full.
139
00:05:57,410 --> 00:05:58,990
Well, you didn't even have a treat.
140
00:05:59,390 --> 00:05:59,990
Oh, that's right.
141
00:06:00,110 --> 00:06:00,770
I got the purple treat.
142
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:03,270
I think at some point it asks for the other treats too.
143
00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:06,170
Now that I know, I think every time it does something, you hit the button.
144
00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:06,730
You hit the button.
145
00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:07,750
And it gives you another.
146
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:09,570
So that is it.
147
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:15,870
It is the Fisher Price Toddler Toy Laugh and Learn Sweet Manners Tea Set with music and light.
148
00:06:16,030 --> 00:06:17,290
But you're absolutely right.
149
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,810
It took all the imagination of playing house.
150
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:20,670
Makes it easier.
151
00:06:22,910 --> 00:06:24,030
She loves it.
152
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:26,530
She's pouring the tea, doing all that.
153
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:27,390
I love the pouring thing.
154
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:29,610
It does sound great.
155
00:06:29,850 --> 00:06:30,130
It's cute.
156
00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:31,030
I mean, how do you beat it?
157
00:06:31,030 --> 00:06:31,550
I'll be getting one.
158
00:06:31,650 --> 00:06:32,410
That's what I'm trying to say.
159
00:06:32,430 --> 00:06:33,270
So there it is.
160
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:37,230
So I was worried this morning because everything was there, but the teapot had gone missing.
161
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:39,530
We have to record.
162
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:40,610
That's the main thing.
163
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:41,550
Where's the teapot?
164
00:06:42,290 --> 00:06:43,070
So yeah.
165
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:44,390
So there you have it.
166
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:49,370
I think that we can give two thumbs up to the Toddler Toy Tea Set.
167
00:06:49,930 --> 00:06:50,330
Fantastic.
168
00:06:51,250 --> 00:06:51,870
That's it.
169
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:54,530
And that is our Crash Test Daddy.
170
00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:59,410
There are a lot of segments we haven't done.
171
00:06:59,470 --> 00:07:04,090
We had so much to talk about just with everything that had happened with the last episode.
172
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:07,590
We're catching up on a lot of these segments that we haven't done in a while.
173
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:11,110
And one of them we have not done since October 15th.
174
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:11,870
Oh my God.
175
00:07:11,870 --> 00:07:16,390
So we're going to do our next segment, which is Check, Please.
176
00:07:17,710 --> 00:07:18,170
All right.
177
00:07:18,210 --> 00:07:18,590
Love this.
178
00:07:18,610 --> 00:07:20,530
This is where I can shine.
179
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:24,210
This is your estimation, background in accounting and banking.
180
00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:34,870
So for those of you who have not heard this, Check, Please is I'm keeping an entire, basically an itemized list of everything we're spending on the baby, with some exceptions.
181
00:07:35,190 --> 00:07:41,090
But everything that we're spending on the baby so that I can provide her with a bill when she turns 18.
182
00:07:41,870 --> 00:07:49,310
So on October 15th, our total had risen to $8,263.
183
00:07:50,090 --> 00:07:51,330
Still under 10 grand.
184
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:51,630
Okay.
185
00:07:52,010 --> 00:07:55,810
But now in fairness, so it's been a couple months, a few months.
186
00:07:56,730 --> 00:08:01,550
But I just want to remind you, we do not include gifts.
187
00:08:01,710 --> 00:08:05,670
So Christmas, like that's not in here.
188
00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:11,470
This is more things, you know, like necessities, you know, things like that.
189
00:08:11,470 --> 00:08:14,930
So that's November, December, January, February, March.
190
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:16,110
A couple of five, four months.
191
00:08:16,130 --> 00:08:17,450
Almost five, four and a half months.
192
00:08:18,430 --> 00:08:19,390
Four and a half months.
193
00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:21,390
Where do you think we're at?
194
00:08:21,410 --> 00:08:22,670
That was seven months in.
195
00:08:23,030 --> 00:08:24,170
Can I ask you a question?
196
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:24,630
Sure.
197
00:08:26,250 --> 00:08:29,850
Prior to October, do you remember the number fairly?
198
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,750
How much did we jump from the last time?
199
00:08:32,850 --> 00:08:38,669
I think from the last time to the last time, it was about, I think it was like a $700 jump.
200
00:08:38,730 --> 00:08:39,010
Okay.
201
00:08:39,169 --> 00:08:39,890
So I want to keep that.
202
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:41,309
And it had probably been a couple months.
203
00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:42,250
Okay.
204
00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:44,250
So, and that was a couple of them.
205
00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:44,370
Yeah.
206
00:08:44,410 --> 00:08:46,510
It wasn't as long as it wasn't as long as this.
207
00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:49,090
So I'm going to just shits and giggles.
208
00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:50,890
I'm going to make this easy on all of us.
209
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:53,950
I'm going to just say, let's, let's add another 300 to that.
210
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:55,710
So it's a thousand dollar difference.
211
00:08:55,830 --> 00:08:56,110
Okay.
212
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:58,270
So 82, you said?
213
00:08:58,650 --> 00:08:59,510
82, 63.
214
00:08:59,810 --> 00:09:02,790
So I'm going to say, let's just add a thousand, 92.
215
00:09:03,270 --> 00:09:03,670
92.
216
00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:06,290
You're pretty close.
217
00:09:06,370 --> 00:09:06,570
Really?
218
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:08,990
This number was less than I expected.
219
00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:11,050
Oh, I'm not sure.
220
00:09:11,470 --> 00:09:13,430
If Kelly is being completely transparent.
221
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:18,570
By the way, I walked through that door with all the Amazon stuff, lying.
222
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:20,410
Every day, four packages.
223
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:21,610
It's crazy out there.
224
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:22,790
It is.
225
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:25,850
It's like, you got, it's like my porch is like an obstacle course.
226
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:27,410
The dogs are so confused.
227
00:09:27,530 --> 00:09:28,750
They don't know what's happening.
228
00:09:28,890 --> 00:09:30,090
They're like constantly going crazy.
229
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:31,870
They want to go play with the Amazon guy.
230
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:32,530
Oh, that's hilarious.
231
00:09:32,850 --> 00:09:34,230
Um, it's yeah, it's not.
232
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:42,470
So, but the new number, this really did surprise me because it was only, it's 87, 85.
233
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:44,650
So it only went up 520 bucks.
234
00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:45,550
Oh God.
235
00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:46,330
I doubled that.
236
00:09:46,770 --> 00:09:52,790
Oh, now I think though, because we had been on, you know, we had been on a couple trips.
237
00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:54,390
They have the holidays.
238
00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:55,590
There's not a lot.
239
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:56,530
So you're spending money.
240
00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:03,010
Otherwise, and for obviously all of the Christmas stuff, we didn't count any of that.
241
00:10:03,210 --> 00:10:07,010
So I was probably well short of what we really spent.
242
00:10:07,930 --> 00:10:10,670
Even when I was, I was going over with Kelly today.
243
00:10:10,670 --> 00:10:11,890
I'm like, are you sure?
244
00:10:12,370 --> 00:10:17,210
And she's like, well, cause the, the, the, where most of this comes is from Amazon.
245
00:10:17,210 --> 00:10:22,650
So we go back through Amazon, but we're more picking up stuff other places too.
246
00:10:23,050 --> 00:10:26,390
You're giving her a deal on this bill that you're going to be handing her when she's 18.
247
00:10:26,390 --> 00:10:26,790
You know what?
248
00:10:26,810 --> 00:10:27,830
I'm giving her a deal.
249
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:45,530
I want it to be fair, but yeah, but I will say we are just at the cusp of being at a thousand dollars in diapers alone because we, we go through those and we had been, we were gifted a lot of diapers.
250
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:46,610
So that's just the ones.
251
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:50,970
I mean, I know at one point we gave you a cake of diapers and we used every one of them.
252
00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:55,070
Once she sized into those, that was it.
253
00:10:56,130 --> 00:10:59,310
And I'll give you, this will be a little hint for next time.
254
00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:07,550
She is now, we are really at the point where we have to get her a new car seat.
255
00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:12,790
She has, she's sized out of the one that we've had since she came home.
256
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:13,010
All right.
257
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:14,110
That'll give me a good head start.
258
00:11:14,390 --> 00:11:15,770
And that's not, and that one's pricey.
259
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:17,090
So we're at 86 right now.
260
00:11:17,250 --> 00:11:20,690
We're at 87, 85, 87, 85.
261
00:11:21,770 --> 00:11:23,750
So I'll get this game once in a while.
262
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:26,010
So you're, you, you always do pretty well.
263
00:11:26,110 --> 00:11:27,390
It's like the price is wrong.
264
00:11:27,390 --> 00:11:27,790
Yeah.
265
00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:29,310
The 500 was a surprise.
266
00:11:29,630 --> 00:11:31,490
That I was, I was surprised at that.
267
00:11:31,570 --> 00:11:33,410
I was like, this can't be right, but it's not.
268
00:11:34,830 --> 00:11:35,430
That's it.
269
00:11:35,630 --> 00:11:39,130
I'm also surprised that like we were just talking about how she loves books.
270
00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:39,630
Right.
271
00:11:39,790 --> 00:11:42,990
We spend a lot of money on books.
272
00:11:43,010 --> 00:11:43,810
Is that part of your 500?
273
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:44,730
Okay.
274
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:45,550
Yes, it is.
275
00:11:45,610 --> 00:11:46,790
So 400 of it is books.
276
00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:48,910
It's more than that.
277
00:11:48,990 --> 00:11:49,630
It's a lot.
278
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:51,550
I mean, it makes sense of what your new project is.
279
00:11:51,810 --> 00:11:52,850
Yeah, that's right.
280
00:11:52,930 --> 00:11:53,530
Yeah, that's true too.
281
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:55,110
So that is check please.
282
00:11:56,430 --> 00:12:00,230
And now we will add, there's another one we haven't done in a while.
283
00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:03,050
I don't know how long this one, I think it was soon.
284
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:08,070
I think we've done it since October, but we're going to get into the silver Fox mailbox.
285
00:12:10,590 --> 00:12:12,470
So this is interesting.
286
00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:19,830
Every once in a while, there'll be comments on our shorts, on our short video, not on our shorts.
287
00:12:19,950 --> 00:12:21,390
We've never wore shorts on this show.
288
00:12:21,610 --> 00:12:22,010
We've never done that.
289
00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:24,090
And we probably will not.
290
00:12:24,090 --> 00:12:29,070
And a lot of times there'll be really old ones that all of a sudden a comment will pop up.
291
00:12:29,170 --> 00:12:31,370
So there were some that we talked about cradle wise.
292
00:12:32,330 --> 00:12:33,410
Oh God, yeah.
293
00:12:33,470 --> 00:12:34,570
The cradle wise was waiting.
294
00:12:34,690 --> 00:12:36,830
Like I put it together before the baby was even born.
295
00:12:36,970 --> 00:12:37,790
We had it ready.
296
00:12:38,330 --> 00:12:40,410
So that was a year ago.
297
00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:45,310
And there are some people out there that hate the cradle wise people.
298
00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:45,890
Oh really?
299
00:12:46,130 --> 00:12:48,110
They hate the people that have the cradle?
300
00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:50,010
No, they hate the company.
301
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:53,770
And I'm trying to figure it out whether like these aren't safe.
302
00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:55,470
And I'm like, I don't know.
303
00:12:55,490 --> 00:13:00,950
Like we researched the hell out of everything and I never saw anything about negative stuff.
304
00:13:01,150 --> 00:13:05,390
And of course, all you gotta do is go to Reddit and start digging around.
305
00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:11,970
And there's this woman out there that has built a whole podcast empire on her.
306
00:13:12,190 --> 00:13:12,710
Hatred.
307
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:13,390
Yeah.
308
00:13:13,550 --> 00:13:15,030
Like they had problems with it.
309
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:20,790
There were things that went wrong, which to me sound like her husband didn't assemble it correctly.
310
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:24,570
Um, because it was, it went together very easily.
311
00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:26,230
It was, it's very well made.
312
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:27,250
It's done a great job.
313
00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:34,550
We've had some technical problems with it, with the app, but, but no, nothing, you know, with the structure.
314
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:34,930
No.
315
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:36,290
And she's like having it.
316
00:13:36,350 --> 00:13:44,630
She had it tested for lead and saying that like, it's like, it should be.
317
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:48,430
Um, but so, so we've had people comment on that.
318
00:13:48,430 --> 00:13:52,250
And just for the cradle wise people out there, I delete their comments.
319
00:13:53,090 --> 00:13:55,610
We love you because we want to be a sponsor.
320
00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:59,570
We're about like, sadly, she's about to size out of that.
321
00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:02,470
It's supposed to be up to two years, but she's so long.
322
00:14:02,510 --> 00:14:02,710
Right.
323
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:08,210
There's it's already, it's fun now because now when she wakes up, she gets up and she climbs up.
324
00:14:08,650 --> 00:14:12,470
So you come in the room and she'll be peeking over the top of the cradle wise.
325
00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:12,950
It's awesome.
326
00:14:13,070 --> 00:14:13,630
I love that.
327
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:22,690
But yeah, so we get, we have had a few of those and I, uh, but, uh, I defend the cradle wise, uh, full force fight to the end.
328
00:14:22,770 --> 00:14:23,650
You have our support.
329
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:27,390
But imagine starting a pod, she have a podcast or just a page.
330
00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:31,790
It's like, it's a YouTube, I think a channel of hating something.
331
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:32,650
Yeah.
332
00:14:32,850 --> 00:14:34,250
Like this is not easy.
333
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:34,750
No.
334
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:38,670
She's like, like, and she's, there's like multiple videos.
335
00:14:38,770 --> 00:14:40,870
Here's the latest update on the, wow.
336
00:14:41,170 --> 00:14:43,610
She doesn't sound like someone you want to hang out with.
337
00:14:43,630 --> 00:14:44,530
I'm sorry.
338
00:14:44,530 --> 00:14:48,970
If this is what your, your, your goal is like, I'm going to make a channel.
339
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:52,570
I could see if like my kid got hurt or something.
340
00:14:52,590 --> 00:14:53,310
Something happened.
341
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:58,750
If you're fighting because I didn't get a refund fast enough or something like still.
342
00:14:59,410 --> 00:14:59,770
Yeah.
343
00:15:00,010 --> 00:15:01,230
It's a lot for her.
344
00:15:01,250 --> 00:15:02,110
It's a lot of effort.
345
00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:04,150
We don't agree.
346
00:15:04,510 --> 00:15:07,210
No, they got to put the, yeah, they got to put their energy somewhere.
347
00:15:07,270 --> 00:15:08,570
I guess it could be, it could be worse.
348
00:15:09,290 --> 00:15:14,630
The other one, Christine, among others, Christine is one of our super fans who is engaging with our stuff.
349
00:15:14,630 --> 00:15:15,490
Thank you, Christine.
350
00:15:15,970 --> 00:15:19,350
She really liked the idea of doing a recap.
351
00:15:19,630 --> 00:15:28,810
So now that we are at one year old, we talked about on the last episode, we talked about the idea of maybe doing a clip show or a recap of the first year.
352
00:15:29,150 --> 00:15:33,790
And we heard from Christine among, among others that think we should do it.
353
00:15:34,110 --> 00:15:51,990
So if you have ideas or thoughts or things that you would like to see, like favorite segments or us revisit or talk about, we have a, we have some fun, a 20 terabyte hard drive full of all of my videos that I can start pouring through and see if we can mine some crazy stuff, some podcast gold.
354
00:15:52,050 --> 00:15:54,390
Yeah, we've done some goofy stuff.
355
00:15:54,490 --> 00:15:55,910
You put me in some weird stuff.
356
00:15:55,950 --> 00:15:57,430
We're going to do some of that later today.
357
00:15:57,530 --> 00:15:57,790
Of course.
358
00:15:57,890 --> 00:15:58,070
Yeah.
359
00:15:58,090 --> 00:16:07,110
So I think based on our, the response, we're going to probably do some kind of a season one finale and kickoff for season two.
360
00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:09,010
The terrible two.
361
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:09,690
Cool.
362
00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:10,950
But keep writing.
363
00:16:11,130 --> 00:16:12,170
Keep, yeah, please.
364
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:13,970
Especially likes.
365
00:16:14,090 --> 00:16:24,750
Give us some, give us some likes on Apple and, and on YouTube on the, on the each episode, on the podcast in general, all that stuff, hit it then.
366
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:26,450
And, and it really helps.
367
00:16:26,930 --> 00:16:31,230
It's interesting how all the algorithms work when you start to peek behind the curtain.
368
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:31,790
Exactly.
369
00:16:32,210 --> 00:16:37,050
I know a lot of times people listen to these things and they don't know the, the inside of baseball.
370
00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:40,010
They just go on, but you'd be so surprised.
371
00:16:40,110 --> 00:16:42,930
And just sitting, like you said, hitting that like or share or whatever.
372
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:46,070
It does so much for the, the show.
373
00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:47,290
So thank you for that.
374
00:16:47,310 --> 00:16:53,950
And we would love to have this segment to be like full of just people's crazy complaints.
375
00:16:53,970 --> 00:16:54,290
Yeah.
376
00:16:54,290 --> 00:16:54,510
Yeah.
377
00:16:54,510 --> 00:16:55,050
It'd be awesome.
378
00:16:55,230 --> 00:16:59,290
So, um, but thank you for, uh, almost a year, not over a year.
379
00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:00,170
We've been over a year.
380
00:17:00,210 --> 00:17:00,570
Yeah.
381
00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:01,190
It's a year.
382
00:17:01,350 --> 00:17:05,170
And now the baby's a year today, a year and five, almost a year.
383
00:17:05,170 --> 00:17:06,410
It'll be a year and a half in April.
384
00:17:07,050 --> 00:17:09,410
We've been doing this because we started in October, 2024.
385
00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:10,069
It's crazy.
386
00:17:10,510 --> 00:17:10,990
Give ourselves a cake.
387
00:17:11,349 --> 00:17:12,890
Did we have a cake in our one year?
388
00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:15,390
No, we're going to do the whole thing.
389
00:17:15,430 --> 00:17:15,910
Did we just do?
390
00:17:16,170 --> 00:17:16,270
Okay.
391
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:18,010
We're going to do some kind of a parade.
392
00:17:18,010 --> 00:17:24,010
Now that we have a, for season two, losing weight, we all want to, we have to have like protein cake, steak.
393
00:17:25,030 --> 00:17:26,390
The sun came up.
394
00:17:26,609 --> 00:17:27,230
Let's have a gig.
395
00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:32,610
So that was it for our silver Fox mailbox.
396
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:47,530
And then we also, as we were kind of throughout this time, cleaning up the last vestiges of, of Christmas, we had our Christmas village set up over here in the basement.
397
00:17:48,050 --> 00:18:00,930
So as I cleaned that up and put away all the houses and put it back in storage, we find found there was a gift from the shower, baby shower.
398
00:18:01,050 --> 00:18:01,550
Oh my God.
399
00:18:01,550 --> 00:18:06,570
Which, but it was for when she was older and it was the, it's kind of, what is it called?
400
00:18:07,490 --> 00:18:11,570
The, the Vtech prance and rock learning unicorn.
401
00:18:11,910 --> 00:18:12,910
Is that the thing I was on?
402
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:13,350
Yes.
403
00:18:13,630 --> 00:18:14,970
He was riding it around earlier.
404
00:18:15,170 --> 00:18:16,490
We're going to do that in the future.
405
00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:20,310
But yeah, it's more like, Oh, well she's big enough for this now.
406
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:21,110
Almost.
407
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:26,750
So it's this cute little, it's a unicorn and it's the only Vtech thing that she has ever liked.
408
00:18:27,390 --> 00:18:32,250
So we, so you set it up and it can basically, it can be a rocking horse.
409
00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:36,890
And then when she's big enough, you flip them over and there's wheels and she can ride it around.
410
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:37,670
It's a vehicle.
411
00:18:38,330 --> 00:18:42,770
But she is, she's long, but she has my proportions.
412
00:18:43,210 --> 00:18:48,810
So she, her feet don't touch yet because she's got short, short legs, long torso.
413
00:18:48,970 --> 00:18:49,570
That's hilarious.
414
00:18:49,690 --> 00:18:51,490
So, but she really, she loves it.
415
00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:56,190
So yeah, the, the, we finally found a Vtech product that she enjoys.
416
00:18:56,190 --> 00:18:59,310
That's great when you just find a gift that you actually aged into.
417
00:18:59,650 --> 00:19:00,010
Yes.
418
00:19:00,190 --> 00:19:00,890
At that moment, right?
419
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:01,310
Yeah.
420
00:19:01,370 --> 00:19:06,450
Because if you opened it up earlier, like, Oh, okay, this is going to be, but yeah, it was nice.
421
00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:21,310
And that was from one of, uh, this is a very long standing friend, almost like you and me of Kelly's, her friend Greta, who is a teacher in, uh, in the Buffalo area.
422
00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:26,010
And she's been sitting there going, these sons of guns have not thanked me for a gift at the shower.
423
00:19:26,370 --> 00:19:27,910
Well, that's all this time.
424
00:19:28,170 --> 00:19:28,670
Here it is.
425
00:19:28,770 --> 00:19:32,490
Well, this is the thank you for Greta because the, Oh, we're giving it.
426
00:19:32,590 --> 00:19:32,790
Okay.
427
00:19:32,990 --> 00:19:34,010
That is it.
428
00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:36,270
Cause it is, uh, absolutely a hit.
429
00:19:36,330 --> 00:19:37,870
She likes, she likes the unicorn.
430
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:38,550
That's awesome.
431
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:39,910
And it's, she looks really cute on it.
432
00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:40,310
It's fun.
433
00:19:40,370 --> 00:19:40,810
Of course.
434
00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:41,650
I took a video.
435
00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:42,430
I was so proud.
436
00:19:42,750 --> 00:19:44,670
I took a video of her and I'm like, press the button.
437
00:19:44,790 --> 00:19:47,390
She goes, Oh yeah.
438
00:19:47,470 --> 00:19:54,730
She's like, she's clearly at the point now where she understands way more.
439
00:19:54,850 --> 00:19:58,970
Like she doesn't say a lot, but she knows exactly what you're talking about.
440
00:19:58,970 --> 00:19:59,150
That's awesome.
441
00:19:59,650 --> 00:20:01,210
She's, she's, she's gets, she gets it.
442
00:20:01,290 --> 00:20:02,030
So that was fun.
443
00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:10,030
That also led to a new fun thing that she has busted into, which is because of her love of books.
444
00:20:10,030 --> 00:20:14,210
Lots of the books are about numbers or counting or animals or things.
445
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:24,530
And one of the animals and one of the animal books is a pig and the piggy makes a certain sound and she has learned not as much.
446
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:25,270
Oink, oink.
447
00:20:25,370 --> 00:20:25,930
No, she doesn't.
448
00:20:28,130 --> 00:20:32,930
She makes, when you laugh so hard, she makes this snorting sound.
449
00:20:33,050 --> 00:20:33,730
That's awesome.
450
00:20:34,270 --> 00:20:36,650
And it's so funny when she does it.
451
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:39,290
Cause she doesn't do it in a delicate way.
452
00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:42,130
She does it with like a real open mouth and aggressive.
453
00:20:42,290 --> 00:20:43,190
Oh, that's hilarious.
454
00:20:43,810 --> 00:20:44,670
Oh my God.
455
00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:44,970
There.
456
00:20:45,290 --> 00:20:47,490
And it's awesome when she does it.
457
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:49,310
So you gotta laugh at it.
458
00:20:49,310 --> 00:20:56,290
So she learned this and then she's always very engaged typically at church.
459
00:20:57,110 --> 00:21:17,890
So when we stand, so she did it the other day at mass last weekend, we stand up and there's like three pews of people behind us and she just looks and you can tell because she kind of gets over Kelly's shoulder and does there and people literally three people just start cracking up.
460
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:18,910
Oh that's so funny.
461
00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:32,190
It was it was hilarious and then the next day we go we go to Wegmans I got that she's in the cart with me and we come around the corner and there's this nice older woman that sees the baby.
462
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:33,490
Oh she looks at her.
463
00:21:33,650 --> 00:21:34,130
Hi.
464
00:21:34,910 --> 00:21:37,250
And the baby looks at her and smiles and goes.
465
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:43,250
Kelly is immediately like I'm so sorry.
466
00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:46,050
It's her piggy sound.
467
00:21:46,170 --> 00:21:46,690
She loves it.
468
00:21:46,690 --> 00:21:47,790
Pigs are her favorite thing.
469
00:21:48,030 --> 00:21:49,190
Oh my god that's so cool.
470
00:21:49,330 --> 00:21:51,950
And the woman's like she's like that's completely okay.
471
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:55,930
She's like my daughter's gonna have me I'm gonna have my first grandchild very soon.
472
00:21:56,050 --> 00:21:56,230
Oh that's awesome.
473
00:21:56,450 --> 00:21:57,790
But it was so cute.
474
00:21:58,030 --> 00:22:01,670
So yeah the beautiful little greeting she has there.
475
00:22:01,770 --> 00:22:06,630
The piggy sound is it's hard not it's hard not to laugh.
476
00:22:06,770 --> 00:22:09,290
Yeah if you're not laughing at that you have no soul.
477
00:22:09,390 --> 00:22:12,050
Yeah that I think that's a factual statement.
478
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:14,790
So then we had a bunch of other visits.
479
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:16,950
So we talked about our caregiver.
480
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:19,990
We have Carrie and Ashley.
481
00:22:20,490 --> 00:22:25,110
Carrie had some some medical stuff that she needs to take care of.
482
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,050
So she's been out for a while and it's been just Ashley.
483
00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:30,470
But Carrie came to visit.
484
00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:32,270
So she's she's recovering.
485
00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:40,150
Carrie is now about to after a few weeks of being away is now about to return to work with us.
486
00:22:40,170 --> 00:22:42,550
But she's come to visit because she misses the baby.
487
00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:43,030
Of course.
488
00:22:43,090 --> 00:22:45,490
And of course the baby has missed her.
489
00:22:45,670 --> 00:22:47,370
And this was very clear.
490
00:22:47,550 --> 00:22:48,390
Not like me.
491
00:22:49,490 --> 00:22:51,150
You just got to be here more.
492
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:51,670
Wow.
493
00:22:53,090 --> 00:22:54,610
She'll warm right up.
494
00:22:54,690 --> 00:22:55,090
Don't worry.
495
00:22:55,410 --> 00:22:56,410
When she's 13.
496
00:22:56,510 --> 00:22:57,530
Yeah eventually.
497
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:07,330
So but she Carrie shows up and it's funny because I immediately like I said to Kelly and I've said to Ashley I think I think I'm a solid second.
498
00:23:08,170 --> 00:23:08,810
Okay.
499
00:23:08,890 --> 00:23:11,870
Like there is clearly a preference for mommy.
500
00:23:12,170 --> 00:23:12,290
Right.
501
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:12,930
Like mommy.
502
00:23:13,070 --> 00:23:13,530
We know.
503
00:23:13,630 --> 00:23:13,730
Yeah.
504
00:23:13,850 --> 00:23:14,750
There's no.
505
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:16,030
I'm happy.
506
00:23:16,170 --> 00:23:17,150
I'm happy with second.
507
00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:23,450
But what with with Carrie's absence making the heart grow fonder.
508
00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:28,270
When Carrie shows up I immediately have been relegated to a distant third.
509
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:33,570
And and Ashley is is like number four with a rocket.
510
00:23:34,030 --> 00:23:35,770
Like she's gonna move.
511
00:23:35,970 --> 00:23:36,170
Yeah.
512
00:23:36,370 --> 00:23:38,590
It's only a matter like I gotta up my game.
513
00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:40,430
You're gonna be eventually there's a guy that lives here.
514
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:43,750
I'm gonna be like yeah where's the where's the guy.
515
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:45,530
Where's the guy that where's the guy who moves the truck.
516
00:23:45,710 --> 00:23:47,470
Who moves the big machine around.
517
00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:52,590
But yeah she was so happy with just absolutely thrilled to see her every time she is.
518
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:54,150
But you know what happens though.
519
00:23:54,490 --> 00:23:54,990
Mm-hmm.
520
00:23:55,010 --> 00:23:55,770
In your favor.
521
00:23:56,050 --> 00:23:56,230
Yeah.
522
00:23:56,770 --> 00:24:00,150
She becomes daddy's little girl though.
523
00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:00,530
That's.
524
00:24:00,590 --> 00:24:00,730
Yeah.
525
00:24:01,090 --> 00:24:01,710
That's all.
526
00:24:01,790 --> 00:24:02,290
There's a lot.
527
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:03,010
I mean there's.
528
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:03,550
Yes.
529
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:04,330
That bond.
530
00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:04,710
Yep.
531
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:05,690
I think that will.
532
00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:07,610
With a daughter and a father.
533
00:24:07,850 --> 00:24:07,990
Yeah.
534
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:09,810
Obviously a good family.
535
00:24:10,210 --> 00:24:10,490
Yes.
536
00:24:10,570 --> 00:24:10,850
Dynamic.
537
00:24:11,090 --> 00:24:13,070
But being daddy's little girl.
538
00:24:13,210 --> 00:24:13,430
Yeah.
539
00:24:13,490 --> 00:24:14,590
You got that forever.
540
00:24:15,450 --> 00:24:15,630
Yeah.
541
00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:16,610
There is that.
542
00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:32,570
I still get the it's fun because like at meal times she's there in her little chair and Kelly's doing what she's doing and she'll be and she'll I'll get the occasional like is he watching like and she'll I'll get smiles and cute stuff like that.
543
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:33,210
So yeah.
544
00:24:33,210 --> 00:24:34,010
And I don't mind.
545
00:24:34,150 --> 00:24:39,210
I'm it's I it's very heartwarming to see how great they are with her.
546
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:40,350
Oh my god.
547
00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:42,050
That's you pray for that.
548
00:24:42,170 --> 00:24:42,270
Yeah.
549
00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:42,410
Yeah.
550
00:24:42,410 --> 00:24:49,150
It's I mean people would give up millions of dollars to be that secure into people that are watching your child.
551
00:24:49,270 --> 00:24:49,530
Yeah.
552
00:24:49,570 --> 00:24:49,810
Yeah.
553
00:24:49,890 --> 00:24:50,070
No.
554
00:24:50,170 --> 00:24:55,470
We're super super blessed to be able to do to do that and have both Kerry and Ashley.
555
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:56,250
They're both awesome.
556
00:24:56,370 --> 00:24:57,150
They're both great with her.
557
00:24:57,650 --> 00:24:57,950
So yeah.
558
00:24:58,050 --> 00:24:59,510
So that was that was very nice.
559
00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:02,750
We had friends of friends of ours.
560
00:25:03,070 --> 00:25:13,770
Jason and Katuna came to visit to see the baby and Katuna had lots of fun with the baby playing around with her and I got to talk about politics with Jason.
561
00:25:14,550 --> 00:25:15,750
It's always nice.
562
00:25:16,270 --> 00:25:17,990
He's very we're very like-minded.
563
00:25:18,570 --> 00:25:18,850
That's good.
564
00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:20,510
That's the only time you should talk about.
565
00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:21,050
Right.
566
00:25:21,130 --> 00:25:22,970
That's the only person I talk to.
567
00:25:23,050 --> 00:25:23,210
Right.
568
00:25:23,210 --> 00:25:26,030
Because it's like I know he's gonna agree with me.
569
00:25:26,150 --> 00:25:26,250
Right.
570
00:25:26,610 --> 00:25:27,430
But yeah.
571
00:25:27,610 --> 00:25:34,870
So we had a nice visit with them and then my sister and her husband Paul and Avi came over for a visit.
572
00:25:35,010 --> 00:25:39,730
They hadn't they hadn't been over for a while and they wanted to see the the crawling action happen.
573
00:25:40,130 --> 00:25:48,690
So they got to the forward the full treatment the forward crawling and had yeah just really nice visits with everybody.
574
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:48,950
It's good.
575
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:52,370
So yeah I want to have more of that.
576
00:25:52,570 --> 00:25:52,670
Yeah.
577
00:25:52,770 --> 00:25:55,150
My cousin too like with Kerry coming over.
578
00:25:55,310 --> 00:26:05,630
My cousin Susan has come over a couple times and she's just she worked in early early education with kids and she's great with kids and it's fun to see her interact as well.
579
00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:06,270
So it's nice.
580
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:11,170
And you want your child to be used to having cousins around family and friends.
581
00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:12,830
You want that in her life.
582
00:26:13,010 --> 00:26:13,470
Yeah.
583
00:26:13,710 --> 00:26:14,050
Their lives.
584
00:26:14,150 --> 00:26:17,670
So it's not strange to them when they're older and they want to be loners or whatever.
585
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:18,070
Right.
586
00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:19,630
Not that that guarantees them that.
587
00:26:19,810 --> 00:26:24,410
But knowing you that's the best thing that I had growing up was my family.
588
00:26:24,530 --> 00:26:24,750
Yeah.
589
00:26:24,850 --> 00:26:29,250
I still think of those days of uncles and aunts and friends coming to our house.
590
00:26:29,810 --> 00:26:30,250
Yeah.
591
00:26:30,290 --> 00:26:31,790
It just makes you I think.
592
00:26:32,270 --> 00:26:35,330
I wish she would be positioned to have more of that.
593
00:26:35,410 --> 00:26:35,650
Right.
594
00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:36,070
Right.
595
00:26:36,130 --> 00:26:37,210
Probably not as much.
596
00:26:37,550 --> 00:26:40,750
But we're gonna try to give her as much of it as we possibly can.
597
00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:41,370
So it's nice.
598
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:41,710
Yeah.
599
00:26:42,130 --> 00:26:43,350
We were out the other day.
600
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:44,410
We went we went out.
601
00:26:44,570 --> 00:26:44,990
Had her out.
602
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:45,970
Went out to Kohl's.
603
00:26:46,190 --> 00:26:46,770
Mm-hmm.
604
00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:49,350
And she does not.
605
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:50,850
I think this is interesting.
606
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:52,410
And I think I don't know.
607
00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:54,190
I think I was like this when I was a kid too.
608
00:26:54,450 --> 00:26:55,490
She doesn't like shoes.
609
00:26:55,810 --> 00:26:56,930
She doesn't want to have shoes on.
610
00:26:57,270 --> 00:26:57,770
Oh on.
611
00:26:58,210 --> 00:26:58,890
She doesn't want to have.
612
00:26:58,990 --> 00:26:59,130
Yeah.
613
00:26:59,170 --> 00:27:02,130
Not like she's like poker with a Mary Jane.
614
00:27:02,770 --> 00:27:03,130
No.
615
00:27:03,630 --> 00:27:06,230
There's a big clearance rack of little little shoes.
616
00:27:06,450 --> 00:27:07,770
I'm like oh look at these.
617
00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:10,150
And she's like does not like it.
618
00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:11,290
Does not like it at all.
619
00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:12,890
But were you like that when I was a kid.
620
00:27:12,930 --> 00:27:14,290
I do remember like as a kid.
621
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:15,650
Like once I was running around.
622
00:27:16,110 --> 00:27:18,910
My mother was constantly yelling at me to put shoes on.
623
00:27:19,210 --> 00:27:19,310
Really.
624
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:21,810
Because I would run around outside barefoot.
625
00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:23,870
And we had like a gravel driveway.
626
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:25,270
And I wouldn't didn't care.
627
00:27:25,890 --> 00:27:26,090
No.
628
00:27:26,170 --> 00:27:28,170
I don't I don't recall my.
629
00:27:28,750 --> 00:27:30,710
I mean seeing that I have a shoe fetish now.
630
00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:31,350
Yeah.
631
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:33,210
I probably always wanted shoes on me.
632
00:27:33,770 --> 00:27:34,550
But I remember my.
633
00:27:34,730 --> 00:27:35,710
I was so bow-legged.
634
00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:36,270
Like my.
635
00:27:36,450 --> 00:27:40,770
I was so screwed up that I used to go through shoes more.
636
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:41,370
Because they would.
637
00:27:41,370 --> 00:27:42,930
You'd wear them out on the edges.
638
00:27:43,310 --> 00:27:45,150
This is back in the 60s.
639
00:27:45,250 --> 00:27:45,990
Late 60s.
640
00:27:46,010 --> 00:27:47,410
Early 70s in Sicily.
641
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:51,050
At some point I think I had some metal brace.
642
00:27:51,130 --> 00:27:51,710
Oh like a brace.
643
00:27:51,810 --> 00:27:52,070
Yeah.
644
00:27:52,150 --> 00:27:52,790
On my feet.
645
00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:53,650
Interesting.
646
00:27:53,850 --> 00:27:58,190
So I I don't remember them ever saying I didn't want shoes on.
647
00:27:58,390 --> 00:27:58,570
So that.
648
00:27:58,750 --> 00:27:58,850
Right.
649
00:27:58,890 --> 00:27:58,990
Yeah.
650
00:27:59,170 --> 00:27:59,890
I think I had them.
651
00:27:59,890 --> 00:28:00,030
Yeah.
652
00:28:00,070 --> 00:28:00,890
I think I had them on.
653
00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:01,150
But.
654
00:28:01,290 --> 00:28:01,390
Yep.
655
00:28:01,650 --> 00:28:02,410
You were like.
656
00:28:02,570 --> 00:28:02,950
You were like.
657
00:28:03,490 --> 00:28:03,890
Yeah.
658
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:04,450
Like.
659
00:28:04,690 --> 00:28:04,870
Yep.
660
00:28:04,890 --> 00:28:07,130
I was always running around barefoot whenever I could.
661
00:28:07,330 --> 00:28:08,090
Or in flip-flops.
662
00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:09,730
Do you feel that now or now.
663
00:28:09,870 --> 00:28:10,370
You would never.
664
00:28:10,490 --> 00:28:11,390
Do you feel comfortable like.
665
00:28:11,770 --> 00:28:11,870
Oh.
666
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:13,930
I like being like in the summer.
667
00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:15,710
I make a point of like every morning.
668
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:16,810
Once it's warm enough.
669
00:28:16,970 --> 00:28:18,250
Where it's not freezing.
670
00:28:18,390 --> 00:28:18,570
Yeah.
671
00:28:18,650 --> 00:28:19,330
Every morning.
672
00:28:19,790 --> 00:28:20,610
I walk.
673
00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:22,410
I walk out back.
674
00:28:22,790 --> 00:28:23,930
And get my feet.
675
00:28:24,130 --> 00:28:25,230
My feet in the grass.
676
00:28:25,730 --> 00:28:25,870
People.
677
00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:26,370
That's been.
678
00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:26,670
Every morning.
679
00:28:26,670 --> 00:28:27,650
The last couple years.
680
00:28:27,770 --> 00:28:28,630
That's been very.
681
00:28:28,830 --> 00:28:30,050
I think there's something to it.
682
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:30,970
There has to be right.
683
00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:31,450
Yeah.
684
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:32,690
There's grounding.
685
00:28:33,130 --> 00:28:33,390
I think.
686
00:28:33,710 --> 00:28:33,810
Grounding.
687
00:28:33,890 --> 00:28:34,070
Yeah.
688
00:28:34,670 --> 00:28:35,510
I do.
689
00:28:35,710 --> 00:28:36,470
Because it just.
690
00:28:36,670 --> 00:28:37,670
Something about it feels good.
691
00:28:37,930 --> 00:28:39,150
The sun's coming up.
692
00:28:39,230 --> 00:28:39,930
You get a breeze.
693
00:28:40,770 --> 00:28:40,990
You feel.
694
00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:42,530
Let's do that more.
695
00:28:43,330 --> 00:28:46,230
As soon as my feet won't freeze to the deck.
696
00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:47,210
But how long do you like.
697
00:28:47,770 --> 00:28:48,350
Ten minutes.
698
00:28:48,670 --> 00:28:49,450
Is that what they say.
699
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:50,210
Five, ten minutes.
700
00:28:50,450 --> 00:28:51,750
I'm sure you should probably do more.
701
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:52,870
But I let the dogs out.
702
00:28:52,930 --> 00:28:53,710
And I go out with them.
703
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:56,150
And they run around and do their thing.
704
00:28:56,390 --> 00:28:56,490
And.
705
00:28:56,530 --> 00:28:56,910
There was a.
706
00:28:56,930 --> 00:28:58,510
There was a player who played for Buffalo.
707
00:28:58,610 --> 00:28:59,630
Now he's in New England.
708
00:29:00,450 --> 00:29:01,730
That he doesn't wear shoes.
709
00:29:02,570 --> 00:29:02,750
Yeah.
710
00:29:02,830 --> 00:29:05,470
The only time he wears them is when you legally have to wear them.
711
00:29:05,530 --> 00:29:06,290
When he goes out to do it.
712
00:29:06,550 --> 00:29:07,390
And then when he plays football.
713
00:29:07,390 --> 00:29:08,590
After that.
714
00:29:08,790 --> 00:29:09,050
Wow.
715
00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:10,290
Even with practice and all that.
716
00:29:10,550 --> 00:29:11,370
He is grounded.
717
00:29:11,650 --> 00:29:12,010
Yeah.
718
00:29:12,390 --> 00:29:12,990
That's interesting.
719
00:29:13,270 --> 00:29:13,370
So.
720
00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:13,970
That's why babies.
721
00:29:14,130 --> 00:29:15,570
Maybe they're feeling it.
722
00:29:15,630 --> 00:29:16,450
They're really feeling it.
723
00:29:16,490 --> 00:29:16,930
Give me that.
724
00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:18,490
Take these shoes off of me.
725
00:29:18,610 --> 00:29:19,970
With her it would be her knees.
726
00:29:20,650 --> 00:29:21,190
That's right.
727
00:29:21,390 --> 00:29:22,470
She's grounded through her knees.
728
00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:24,430
That's the other thing she does too is.
729
00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:25,650
She's very good with zippers.
730
00:29:26,010 --> 00:29:27,570
It's like she can manipulate zippers.
731
00:29:27,730 --> 00:29:27,930
Okay.
732
00:29:28,390 --> 00:29:31,170
And her onesies that will usually zip up from here.
733
00:29:31,450 --> 00:29:32,390
She always.
734
00:29:32,490 --> 00:29:34,810
She unzips up to her knee.
735
00:29:35,150 --> 00:29:35,690
That's so funny.
736
00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:36,570
Not the rest of the.
737
00:29:36,630 --> 00:29:37,570
No further than that.
738
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,490
And I will put it back.
739
00:29:40,210 --> 00:29:41,310
And she will go.
740
00:29:41,910 --> 00:29:42,550
That's funny.
741
00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:44,870
It's like she wants the little breeze.
742
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:45,910
A little air conditioning.
743
00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:46,310
Yeah.
744
00:29:46,530 --> 00:29:47,790
So who knows what it is.
745
00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:48,630
But yeah.
746
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:52,490
So then we kind of came up to just earlier this week.
747
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:56,810
The big one which is the one year visit.
748
00:29:57,370 --> 00:29:57,910
The doctor.
749
00:29:58,030 --> 00:29:58,970
To the pediatrician.
750
00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:00,370
So we went up to Somerwood.
751
00:30:01,210 --> 00:30:07,150
And what I think was funny was back when we went back for the diaper rash.
752
00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:08,810
One of the times we went back.
753
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,750
We had a new PA who we really like.
754
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:13,550
And now we see just her when we go there.
755
00:30:14,090 --> 00:30:14,290
Yeah.
756
00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:17,350
But the baby had a whisk that she will play with.
757
00:30:17,390 --> 00:30:20,450
Like sometimes she's got like a whisk and a pot and stuff.
758
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:20,890
Sure.
759
00:30:20,890 --> 00:30:22,710
And it's one of our whisks from the kitchen.
760
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:25,810
She liked it and she was playing with it a lot around that time.
761
00:30:25,910 --> 00:30:27,530
So she had it with her when we went.
762
00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:28,050
Now a toy.
763
00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:28,350
Yeah.
764
00:30:28,430 --> 00:30:30,310
And so the.
765
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:30,790
They were.
766
00:30:31,010 --> 00:30:34,630
Everybody at the pediatrician was fascinated that she had a whisk.
767
00:30:35,630 --> 00:30:39,610
And so we went back this time.
768
00:30:40,330 --> 00:30:42,790
They're literally the PA walks in and goes where's the whisk.
769
00:30:42,970 --> 00:30:43,550
That's hilarious.
770
00:30:43,710 --> 00:30:44,330
So she has.
771
00:30:44,570 --> 00:30:50,190
She had gained this time in less than a month like over a pound.
772
00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:54,270
She's like on a real good trajectory with her weight.
773
00:30:54,270 --> 00:30:55,210
So she was.
774
00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:59,470
She had fallen below the range you wanted to be in for weight.
775
00:30:59,870 --> 00:31:02,070
And this way and she was back.
776
00:31:02,650 --> 00:31:03,130
Well she was.
777
00:31:03,450 --> 00:31:05,090
But I realized she wasn't eating a lot.
778
00:31:05,170 --> 00:31:05,310
Remember.
779
00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:06,110
Oh yeah.
780
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:07,290
Leads to that.
781
00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:08,250
It's made a big difference.
782
00:31:08,490 --> 00:31:08,590
Right.
783
00:31:08,590 --> 00:31:08,890
So.
784
00:31:09,170 --> 00:31:09,910
But she's still.
785
00:31:10,190 --> 00:31:16,350
She is like 75th percentile for height and 7th for weight.
786
00:31:16,810 --> 00:31:17,930
So she is.
787
00:31:18,150 --> 00:31:19,090
Every girl's dream.
788
00:31:21,010 --> 00:31:21,730
And guys.
789
00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:22,170
Yeah.
790
00:31:22,350 --> 00:31:23,750
We'll talk about it as much.
791
00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:24,410
We'll see.
792
00:31:24,790 --> 00:31:27,550
But back on track in the direction we want her to be.
793
00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:30,010
I have a feeling her body type is gonna be like her mother.
794
00:31:30,730 --> 00:31:30,830
Yeah.
795
00:31:31,650 --> 00:31:32,610
She's that already.
796
00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:33,270
I wouldn't be surprised.
797
00:31:33,530 --> 00:31:36,370
I think she should probably be about 10th percentile.
798
00:31:36,450 --> 00:31:36,590
Yeah.
799
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:38,590
She's gonna get to 10th percentile for weight.
800
00:31:39,050 --> 00:31:41,790
And I think also because of the way she measured her.
801
00:31:41,910 --> 00:31:42,670
I don't think she's 70.
802
00:31:42,810 --> 00:31:44,670
I think she's more than 75th percentile.
803
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:44,890
Oh.
804
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:47,290
Because they were like they didn't put her down.
805
00:31:47,630 --> 00:31:47,970
And it was.
806
00:31:48,010 --> 00:31:48,350
It was a.
807
00:31:48,450 --> 00:31:49,070
She was 70.
808
00:31:49,090 --> 00:31:49,650
Standing.
809
00:31:49,870 --> 00:31:51,210
And she kind of was leaning.
810
00:31:51,630 --> 00:31:51,730
Her lean.
811
00:31:51,790 --> 00:31:52,430
Her north side lean.
812
00:31:52,510 --> 00:31:53,410
She was doing the lean.
813
00:31:54,270 --> 00:31:54,670
So.
814
00:31:54,990 --> 00:31:56,090
Everything was good.
815
00:31:56,250 --> 00:31:56,990
She was very healthy.
816
00:31:57,170 --> 00:31:59,230
They were supposed to do the vaccinations.
817
00:31:59,690 --> 00:31:59,950
Okay.
818
00:31:59,990 --> 00:32:02,730
But because it was the 12 month vaccinations.
819
00:32:02,830 --> 00:32:05,970
Because it was two days before her birthday.
820
00:32:06,510 --> 00:32:07,750
They would not give them to her.
821
00:32:07,930 --> 00:32:08,030
Right.
822
00:32:08,030 --> 00:32:10,070
So we're gonna have to go back for those.
823
00:32:10,290 --> 00:32:10,650
Yay.
824
00:32:10,730 --> 00:32:11,750
I hate.
825
00:32:12,350 --> 00:32:13,570
I hate all of it.
826
00:32:13,650 --> 00:32:14,190
I don't.
827
00:32:14,270 --> 00:32:14,370
I know.
828
00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:14,670
I used to.
829
00:32:14,670 --> 00:32:15,450
I don't believe.
830
00:32:15,610 --> 00:32:17,990
I don't believe that all of it is necessary.
831
00:32:18,250 --> 00:32:18,350
Yeah.
832
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:19,950
But then again.
833
00:32:19,950 --> 00:32:21,650
You got on the news this morning.
834
00:32:21,770 --> 00:32:24,090
They're talking about somewhere down south.
835
00:32:24,390 --> 00:32:26,990
Like three or four hundred cases of measles somewhere.
836
00:32:27,230 --> 00:32:27,470
Measles.
837
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:28,010
Yeah.
838
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:29,310
So many people stopped.
839
00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:30,150
They're not doing it.
840
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:30,830
They're not doing it.
841
00:32:31,390 --> 00:32:31,630
But.
842
00:32:32,010 --> 00:32:32,770
So we'll see.
843
00:32:32,910 --> 00:32:34,070
But what they did do though.
844
00:32:34,210 --> 00:32:35,350
Which was very unpopular.
845
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:39,590
Was they took a blood sample by doing a finger prick.
846
00:32:40,390 --> 00:32:42,130
She was not happy about that.
847
00:32:42,750 --> 00:32:42,910
But.
848
00:32:43,090 --> 00:32:43,910
We don't even like that.
849
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:45,030
I'm 57 years old.
850
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:45,270
No.
851
00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:45,910
I know.
852
00:32:46,110 --> 00:32:46,690
It's like that hurts.
853
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:49,110
So then later in the evening I get a call.
854
00:32:49,570 --> 00:32:54,210
And she was very, very mildly iron deficient.
855
00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:56,590
So immediately I think.
856
00:32:57,050 --> 00:32:57,550
I'm like.
857
00:32:57,710 --> 00:32:57,990
You know.
858
00:32:58,050 --> 00:32:58,990
I start worrying.
859
00:32:59,370 --> 00:33:02,050
But apparently this is very common.
860
00:33:02,370 --> 00:33:02,470
Normal.
861
00:33:02,570 --> 00:33:04,010
Especially with breastfed babies.
862
00:33:04,170 --> 00:33:04,570
So we're.
863
00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:06,670
They're gonna give us a little supplement that we can give her.
864
00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:06,910
Sure.
865
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:09,170
And I'm just gonna make her meatball.
866
00:33:09,270 --> 00:33:09,390
You know.
867
00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:10,950
Like beef and lamb meatballs.
868
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:13,170
And she'll be right out there.
869
00:33:13,370 --> 00:33:14,170
We're back to food guys.
870
00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:14,450
Yep.
871
00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:14,850
But.
872
00:33:15,070 --> 00:33:16,070
So it'll be.
873
00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:17,290
I'm sure it'll be.
874
00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:17,870
It'll be fine.
875
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:20,550
But it also is nudging us in the direction of.
876
00:33:20,730 --> 00:33:23,830
Kelly's ready to start moving away from the breastfeeding.
877
00:33:24,270 --> 00:33:26,430
As she changes jobs and does that stuff.
878
00:33:26,890 --> 00:33:27,790
So there was that.
879
00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:29,590
Then yesterday we did have a surprise.
880
00:33:29,810 --> 00:33:33,490
Kelly's entire family thought that the baby's birthday was yesterday.
881
00:33:36,150 --> 00:33:38,070
They come over.
882
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:41,930
It was like my mother called to say happy birthday.
883
00:33:42,130 --> 00:33:42,870
And I'm looking at her.
884
00:33:43,010 --> 00:33:43,330
I'm like.
885
00:33:43,510 --> 00:33:44,470
Was she saying.
886
00:33:44,550 --> 00:33:45,610
She called early.
887
00:33:45,770 --> 00:33:46,850
Like she got something going on.
888
00:33:47,070 --> 00:33:47,510
No.
889
00:33:48,550 --> 00:33:49,270
And I'm like.
890
00:33:49,390 --> 00:33:49,950
Well how can.
891
00:33:50,190 --> 00:33:51,050
Trying to beat the traffic.
892
00:33:51,890 --> 00:33:52,510
It's like.
893
00:33:52,570 --> 00:33:54,950
Maybe she thought because she remembered it on a Wednesday.
894
00:33:55,150 --> 00:33:55,470
I'm like.
895
00:33:57,050 --> 00:33:58,710
The first one.
896
00:33:59,010 --> 00:33:59,210
Every.
897
00:33:59,210 --> 00:34:00,090
The first birthday.
898
00:34:00,290 --> 00:34:00,630
Everybody.
899
00:34:00,790 --> 00:34:01,690
She was born on a Wednesday.
900
00:34:01,950 --> 00:34:02,050
But.
901
00:34:02,370 --> 00:34:02,550
Right.
902
00:34:02,730 --> 00:34:03,470
Everybody knows.
903
00:34:04,010 --> 00:34:04,410
Yeah.
904
00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:07,150
Like I remember figuring that out when I was seven.
905
00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:08,070
So now it's Thursday.
906
00:34:08,150 --> 00:34:11,469
Because the new cartoons came out on my birthday on a Saturday.
907
00:34:11,770 --> 00:34:11,969
Right.
908
00:34:12,210 --> 00:34:12,310
I'm like.
909
00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:12,410
Wait.
910
00:34:12,410 --> 00:34:14,469
How many years is it gonna be before that happens again.
911
00:34:14,489 --> 00:34:14,730
It's again.
912
00:34:14,949 --> 00:34:15,049
Yeah.
913
00:34:15,049 --> 00:34:15,230
Yeah.
914
00:34:15,230 --> 00:34:15,830
Seven years.
915
00:34:16,050 --> 00:34:16,230
Seven.
916
00:34:17,170 --> 00:34:17,570
Seven.
917
00:34:17,850 --> 00:34:18,130
Yeah.
918
00:34:18,270 --> 00:34:20,330
And then later we're about to sit down to dinner.
919
00:34:20,929 --> 00:34:21,989
And her sister calls.
920
00:34:23,010 --> 00:34:23,270
And I'm.
921
00:34:23,929 --> 00:34:24,330
Wow.
922
00:34:24,449 --> 00:34:25,270
They're all on this.
923
00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:26,050
Oh.
924
00:34:26,350 --> 00:34:26,550
Okay.
925
00:34:26,870 --> 00:34:27,750
But at least they're early.
926
00:34:28,070 --> 00:34:28,350
Right.
927
00:34:28,610 --> 00:34:29,150
So that's.
928
00:34:29,290 --> 00:34:29,489
You know.
929
00:34:29,570 --> 00:34:29,969
If you're gonna.
930
00:34:30,330 --> 00:34:31,690
If you're gonna miss one way or the other.
931
00:34:31,989 --> 00:34:32,089
Exactly.
932
00:34:32,090 --> 00:34:33,070
Speak about birthday.
933
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:33,810
Yes.
934
00:34:33,850 --> 00:34:35,030
You're gonna have one.
935
00:34:35,090 --> 00:34:37,830
You're planning your first birthday party for your daughter.
936
00:34:37,949 --> 00:34:38,429
Isn't that.
937
00:34:38,650 --> 00:34:39,130
Yes.
938
00:34:39,230 --> 00:34:41,510
A very berry birthday party.
939
00:34:41,630 --> 00:34:42,770
It's a strawberry theme.
940
00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:43,530
I was gonna say.
941
00:34:43,610 --> 00:34:44,550
Did you just have a stroke.
942
00:34:46,750 --> 00:34:47,909
So you haven't.
943
00:34:48,150 --> 00:34:49,710
You haven't a berry themed.
944
00:34:49,969 --> 00:34:50,110
Yeah.
945
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:50,530
Party.
946
00:34:50,790 --> 00:34:51,929
It was another thing.
947
00:34:51,949 --> 00:34:52,670
Like somebody.
948
00:34:52,889 --> 00:34:53,770
People kept asking.
949
00:34:54,190 --> 00:34:55,770
Kelly and I on many ways.
950
00:34:55,889 --> 00:34:57,250
Are not modern parents.
951
00:34:57,270 --> 00:34:57,630
Okay.
952
00:34:57,950 --> 00:34:59,490
Because multiple people were like.
953
00:34:59,570 --> 00:35:00,310
What's the theme.
954
00:35:00,350 --> 00:35:01,150
And we're like.
955
00:35:02,070 --> 00:35:02,790
First birthday.
956
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:04,430
I guess berries.
957
00:35:06,110 --> 00:35:07,050
So I asked AI.
958
00:35:07,290 --> 00:35:07,490
I'm like.
959
00:35:07,610 --> 00:35:08,690
She likes strawberries.
960
00:35:09,790 --> 00:35:10,530
What's the theme.
961
00:35:10,670 --> 00:35:13,590
And it came back with a brilliant plan.
962
00:35:13,890 --> 00:35:14,270
And I'm like.
963
00:35:14,270 --> 00:35:14,630
Okay.
964
00:35:14,770 --> 00:35:15,410
There it is.
965
00:35:15,730 --> 00:35:16,150
So yeah.
966
00:35:16,190 --> 00:35:16,950
So we're gonna do that.
967
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:18,770
So we're gonna have a little party on Saturday.
968
00:35:19,410 --> 00:35:19,810
And.
969
00:35:19,990 --> 00:35:21,850
Could you imagine asking our parents.
970
00:35:22,630 --> 00:35:23,030
Dad.
971
00:35:23,150 --> 00:35:23,390
Mom.
972
00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:24,750
What's the theme of my.
973
00:35:24,850 --> 00:35:25,570
The theme of my.
974
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:25,870
You would be.
975
00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:26,630
The theme is.
976
00:35:26,810 --> 00:35:27,710
We can't afford a cake.
977
00:35:27,770 --> 00:35:28,390
The theme is.
978
00:35:28,510 --> 00:35:29,590
You don't live here anymore.
979
00:35:29,930 --> 00:35:30,130
Yeah.
980
00:35:30,170 --> 00:35:31,350
For asking that stupid question.
981
00:35:31,550 --> 00:35:32,150
That's the theme is.
982
00:35:32,270 --> 00:35:34,310
I forgot to buy the Duncan Hines box.
983
00:35:34,550 --> 00:35:34,650
Yeah.
984
00:35:34,650 --> 00:35:35,270
For empty nesters.
985
00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:35,590
Yeah.
986
00:35:35,770 --> 00:35:37,490
So there's lots of changes.
987
00:35:37,770 --> 00:35:38,890
She's into everything.
988
00:35:39,050 --> 00:35:43,550
We've had to rework everything on the ground floor.
989
00:35:43,730 --> 00:35:44,010
Yeah.
990
00:35:44,330 --> 00:35:44,630
I'll just.
991
00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:45,450
I'll let her.
992
00:35:45,610 --> 00:35:45,790
You know.
993
00:35:45,850 --> 00:35:48,490
Like I'll be making breakfast or doing meal prep or something.
994
00:35:48,770 --> 00:35:51,910
And I'll let her kind of wander around.
995
00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:58,610
And I'll turn around and she'll just be emptying the drawer of all the little towels in it or whatever.
996
00:35:58,630 --> 00:36:00,310
It's a whole new norm again.
997
00:36:00,550 --> 00:36:03,190
I think we're in pretty good shape.
998
00:36:03,730 --> 00:36:03,830
But.
999
00:36:04,070 --> 00:36:04,990
One year my friend.
1000
00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:05,850
One year down.
1001
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:06,870
One year down.
1002
00:36:07,130 --> 00:36:07,610
We did it.
1003
00:36:08,290 --> 00:36:08,990
We made it.
1004
00:36:09,170 --> 00:36:10,890
We did it.
1005
00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:12,750
That's awesome though.
1006
00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:14,150
Congratulations my friend.
1007
00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:14,750
Thank you.
1008
00:36:14,890 --> 00:36:15,470
It's been awesome.
1009
00:36:15,470 --> 00:36:16,930
This has been a journey for all of us.
1010
00:36:16,930 --> 00:36:20,010
I can genuinely say it's the best year of my life.
1011
00:36:20,110 --> 00:36:20,390
Oh yeah.
1012
00:36:20,450 --> 00:36:21,110
It's fantastic.
1013
00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:22,030
And it just.
1014
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:22,690
No there's nothing.
1015
00:36:22,970 --> 00:36:23,310
Better and better.
1016
00:36:23,550 --> 00:36:24,270
I don't think you are.
1017
00:36:25,490 --> 00:36:26,230
I can say.
1018
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:28,150
I never would have said this before.
1019
00:36:28,630 --> 00:36:29,910
But I will say now.
1020
00:36:30,010 --> 00:36:34,310
I don't think you are a whole person until you experience this.
1021
00:36:35,050 --> 00:36:37,130
I felt like a whole person.
1022
00:36:37,570 --> 00:36:39,410
But it is a completely different dimension.
1023
00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:40,590
Well the good thing is.
1024
00:36:41,690 --> 00:36:44,030
When you weren't with a child.
1025
00:36:44,250 --> 00:36:45,350
You still felt whole.
1026
00:36:45,630 --> 00:36:48,170
So if you're out there and don't have kids.
1027
00:36:48,210 --> 00:36:49,110
I don't know why you're listening to this.
1028
00:36:49,270 --> 00:36:51,450
But if you don't have kids.
1029
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:53,690
It's also cool because you don't know the difference.
1030
00:36:53,850 --> 00:36:54,950
You are feeling.
1031
00:36:55,230 --> 00:36:56,670
I felt like a completely.
1032
00:36:56,930 --> 00:36:59,930
The only time you get taught that you're not.
1033
00:37:00,270 --> 00:37:00,530
Right.
1034
00:37:00,830 --> 00:37:02,550
Is that child that comes in your life.
1035
00:37:02,670 --> 00:37:03,070
Then you go.
1036
00:37:03,290 --> 00:37:04,290
Oh okay.
1037
00:37:04,770 --> 00:37:05,910
This feels different.
1038
00:37:06,030 --> 00:37:07,030
This is what life is supposed to be.
1039
00:37:07,030 --> 00:37:07,610
Yeah this is different.
1040
00:37:07,830 --> 00:37:08,310
This is different.
1041
00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:09,710
So yeah.
1042
00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:11,190
That's awesome.
1043
00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:15,050
So here we are at the end of yet another episode.
1044
00:37:15,230 --> 00:37:16,590
We appreciate you sticking with us.
1045
00:37:16,750 --> 00:37:16,930
Yeah.
1046
00:37:17,290 --> 00:37:20,530
So here we are at the end of yet another episode.
1047
00:37:20,750 --> 00:37:23,130
We appreciate you sticking with us until the very end.
1048
00:37:23,770 --> 00:37:26,950
And hopefully we don't do another one in seven months or so.
1049
00:37:26,990 --> 00:37:27,510
We're going to do.
1050
00:37:27,690 --> 00:37:29,350
We're going to get better at.
1051
00:37:29,430 --> 00:37:30,630
We had a lot of stuff going on.
1052
00:37:30,870 --> 00:37:31,270
Yes.
1053
00:37:31,530 --> 00:37:31,810
Yes.
1054
00:37:31,910 --> 00:37:32,870
Work and all that.
1055
00:37:32,870 --> 00:37:33,950
Like that's going to go away.
1056
00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:34,610
I know.
1057
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:35,750
It's just going to get to be more.
1058
00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:36,930
We like saying that at least.
1059
00:37:37,010 --> 00:37:37,690
It makes us feel better.
1060
00:37:37,690 --> 00:37:38,430
We had a lot of stuff.
1061
00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:39,250
Now we're free.
1062
00:37:39,470 --> 00:37:41,450
Still met when I was editing the other one.
1063
00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:44,350
The last episode thinking that we did that every week.
1064
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:44,770
God.
1065
00:37:44,910 --> 00:37:47,590
It was probably good because I learned how to do it.
1066
00:37:47,650 --> 00:37:47,810
Right.
1067
00:37:48,090 --> 00:37:48,230
Right.
1068
00:37:48,550 --> 00:37:50,450
We have a tremendous back catalog.
1069
00:37:51,490 --> 00:37:52,290
Please listen.
1070
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:53,050
It's amazing.
1071
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:54,130
Please go back.
1072
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:54,710
Take a trip.
1073
00:37:54,850 --> 00:37:55,670
But I'm glad.
1074
00:37:55,790 --> 00:37:58,190
I'm glad that we're doing this.
1075
00:37:58,370 --> 00:38:04,910
That we're keeping this because life got busier and we still kept the importance of this podcast going.
1076
00:38:04,990 --> 00:38:07,110
So we're not going anywhere buddy.
1077
00:38:07,110 --> 00:38:07,350
Nope.
1078
00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:08,030
I mean, we're here.
1079
00:38:08,150 --> 00:38:08,830
We're going to keep doing it.
1080
00:38:08,930 --> 00:38:09,090
Yeah.
1081
00:38:09,490 --> 00:38:10,870
So there we are.
1082
00:38:10,930 --> 00:38:14,510
So again, thanks for sticking with us and we will see you next time.
1083
00:38:15,150 --> 00:38:19,210
Well, folks, that's another episode of the gray hair and daycare podcast in the books.
1084
00:38:19,810 --> 00:38:22,150
Thanks very much for tuning in and spending this time with us.
1085
00:38:22,450 --> 00:38:23,370
We hope it was fun.
