And always remember to compromise,
4yo: Daddy I want a tree house.
Me: Oh me too buddy, it’s just gonna take some time. I don’t know how –
4yo: *sad face*

We’re all doing our best,
Toddler: Father

Toddler: It is an elephant
Me: Of course
Toddler: You’re holding it upside down, father

But by taking time to unwind,
[playing hide-and-seek]
