    Ellie loves going to the hardware store and picking out flowers.

    We got five more today.

    I can't wait until autumn when we can get some bulbs to plant and I can show her how cool that is come spring.

    For a moment I forgot you were in NZ, so I thought ‘she does know that fall is right now....’

    Re: shirts:

    Grab the hem on one side with the opposite hand and lift it up until you tickle yourself. Then pull the arm down and out of your sleeve. Repeat on the opposite side. Then remove over your head.

    Nope sorry, if you're not taking your shirts off like John Cena, you are fucking up.

    It took me way too long to remember that Americans use the word shirt as a generic term for a top and you didn't all have business casual toddlers.

    Yeah, trying to figure out basic things so that you can teach it to the kids is hard. I finally figured out how to teach my daughter how to blow a bubble with gum. I'm keeping these kids in Velcro shoes forever

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    I prefer the Hulk Hogan shirt removal technique. Pricier, but far more impressive.

    Women do the arms cross and lift up shirt removal. Men do the grab behind the neck and pull forward method.

    Nobody knows why.

    For women, if you do the grab behind neck and pull method, then the front of the shirt gets caught on/ bunched up under your boobs. At least that's the issue I've always had with it.

    I imagine long hair also makes it difficult to take off a shirt that way.

    Does anyone have suggestions for PC games that can be played co-op with a 4 or 5 year old? I just got steamlink setup so playing from the couch is now an option.

    The Lego games are great. I played through the Jurassic World one with my 4-year-old and he loved it.

    And not co-op, but the remastered Spyro and Crash Bandicoot trilogies are in the next humble bundle.

    My kiddo and I put a lot of time into Lego games, particularly Lego Marvel Heroes 'cause it had a nice big city to wander around in and roleplay when not doing missions.

    We played a little of Child of Light when she was 4 I think, which was a bit too soon still, but I'm looking forward to going back to it.

    Castle Crashers is a relatively simple beatemup we played a bit of at 4-5.

    Not co-op but Untitled Goose Game is a pretty big hit.

    Another agree for Lego games. I got the Lego Harry Potter games and Lego City Undercover in a bundle a while back and he loves playing those. We've completed the story of Undercover now so when he just wants to wander around the massive open world and cause some damage we play that

    I've never heard him laugh so hard as he does when stealing the Old Man's stool in Untitled Goose Game. A close second is him trapping the child in the phone booth with the walkie-talkie and then honking through the door and the other walkie-talkie to get stereo honking

    My mum got the Lego Batman games when they were free on EGS so he's working his way through those when he gets picked up from school by them.

    Basically anything with little to no consequence when they run off a ledge for the fifteenth time in a row is what you want. They'll also get carried away beating up the bad guys and then wail on your character until death, laughing all the time, so you don't want to have it end the level / run then

    How to teach your child to take off a shirt:

    1. Show them how to grab bottom of shirt with both hands
    2. Tell them to pull the bottom of the shirt up as high as it will go
    3. Tickle the now exposed belly as your child struggles with being trapped inside of the shirt and not being able to see anything
    4. Wait 4 years or until they've figured out how to take it off for themselves

    Also, two more kids books I narrated got uploaded! Spoilered since it's sort of advertising myself and not directly kid related (all 4 here, with the 2 newest ones first). I'll remove them if it's against forum rules to post these.

    I love my son very and I'm really enjoying looking after him whilst my wife goes back to work but I'm so tired :P

    Managed a 45 minutes nap whilst he napped. Gonna start doing that more often until I get my energy back.

    Hahaha.. ha... haha... *starts snoring*

    Actually, the other day, Sapling was taking a nap, and my wife and I were sitting on the couch eating, and I guess I feel asleep sitting up. Not even leaning back in the couch, just straight up and down.

    He's gone to bed at a normal time tonight! A little bit of resistance but he's been down for two hours now.

    Apparently 4 years ago was when I set up the changing table and got some decorations for Ellie's room.

    5 years ago, we moved into the house.

    My wife said "the fact that men still get to enjoy having their nipples touched despite their uselessness is another example of male privilege".

    Having my nipples touched in any fashion stirs feelings of anything from complete indifference to actual nausea in me, I have never liked it

    Breastfeeding was tough, I actually avoided the mastitis and swelling that many people suffer, but I did feel pretty nauseated at times

    Provided I’ve said sure ahead of time, my wife and only my wife may briefly interact with my nipples if she really wants to. Otherwise they’re one of the most ticklish/sensitive spots and “keep yer mitts off”.

    Then again my general rule for most people is “hands off/no touchie”.

    I'm a dude and I get about as much erotic enjoyment from my nipples being caressed/played with as I do blowing my nose, which is to say absolutely fuck-all. May as well try poking me in the eye with a sharp stick, at least that would get some sort of reaction out of me.

    Over the weekend, I secured a narration role for an Audible audio book! It’s geared towards kids, although it’s all Aesop’s Fables, so some of the stories might be tough for younger kids.

    Then I woke up this morning with another offer to narrate another kids book?! I know I’ve only been doing voice work for a few months, but man, could I actually make something out of this voice over thing?
