Third kid. 72,458-word vocabulary, builds all the things, moves like Jagger, giant-sized and runs the show. Also...craps his pants...until now. #enoughisenough #thisendstoday #pottytrainingboys #otto #saveme #diy #novolunteers #dogdaysofmotherhood

Otto - you do not have a baby book. I have no idea the date of your first roll-over or tooth. You’re a three-peat for many things in my memory. BUT you high-five like a mo-fo, you sleep best on a pile of sticky cereal because why not??? and today you pooped in the potty just once and decided you’re no longer interested in preschool if that’s what it takes. #notahomeschoolmom #canihiresomeone #bebold #thirdkid #mightkillme #boymom #fridaysarehard #highfive #thisonethough

“The person before you paid for your wristbands.” What a sweet surprise and a tender moment in humanity. 3 x $3 admissions. That’s beautiful and the kids are having a great time. #payitforward #kindness #simplethings #boymom #minneapolis #kidsplayarea #eaglesnestplayground

When he was three I signed him up for the “preschool screening” - and on the day of the exam I took him to Taco Johns to “cram.” I planned to teach him to read, brush up on American and European history, touch on the basics of Chemistry and identify constellations should there be a need. We started with math. With numbers. He could hold up three fingers for his age and recognized our order number as the number “11”. While I was completely off base as a first time parent on the purpose of a “preschool screening” (checking to see if any district services would be needed for cognitive or physical delays prior to Kindergarten) - she did ask him if he could identify any numbers on a sheet of paper. He picked out “11” - the only one he knew by sight. Today he turns “11” at 11:26 - and he can identify more numbers than you could possibly find at a Taco Johns. #birthdayboy🎉 #happybirthday #oldestkid #boymom #brothers #tacojohns #cerealeverywhere

Oh my little cutie. We made you do everything. You’ll never remember - which eases my mind about the leash. #firsttimeatdisney @waltdisneyworld @disney #otto #bobstroller #kidonaleash
