\nHim<\/strong>: must be put the boy down time…<\/p>\n

Me<\/strong>: A<\/span>yup… Or more accurately, boy is just down time<\/span><\/p>\n

Him<\/strong>: Still not going to sleep at the snap of your fingers? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Me<\/strong>: Nope. Surprisingly not<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve tried water, music, potty….<\/span><\/p>\n

(I pause)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Chloroform gave surprisingly good results; but friends said it wasn’t sustainable without damaging the child<\/span><\/p>\n

Him<\/strong>: yes, Benadryl is more socially acceptable<\/p>\n

He<\/em><\/strong> is a colleague from a job that I became very good friends with. He now has a 2 yr old & 6 mo old. This is to give perspective to my nearly 4 year old. Actually the conversation continued:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Me<\/strong>: How old are the kids now?<\/span><\/p>\n

Him<\/strong>: 2.0833 today and 6 months<\/p>\n

Me<\/strong>: LOL. Geek<\/span><\/p>\n

Him<\/strong>: 6.0137 for (The girl) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Me<\/strong>: Hang on<\/span>
\n(I find a calculator)<\/em>
\n Aiden is 3.981<\/span><\/p>\n

The picture for this post was sent to me after my boy was born by another colleague and friend who had two (young) teenage daughters. At the time (just after my child’s birth) I found ZERO humour in the picture. My boy is 4 now… Picture ain’t bugging me as much as it used to. :-O<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
