The kids were asking me what time they were all born and I said the youngest was born at 1:29am, and they all agreed that it must have been nice that she just came out while I was sleeping.

Took Ben (14 months) to the doctor today bc he hurt his finger (he will be OK ❤️) and he was amazingly chill about it. When the doctor held out a gloved hand to examine Ben's hand, Ben stared at him for a moment and then solemnly laid a fistful of cheerios in the doctor's palm.
