Quality Parenting.

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know I'm doing my job as a parent. Because I know you all care deeply.

Last night my 22-month-old woke up at 10pm for no apparent reason, and he was wide awake. He wanted to go to the kitchen. So, I brought him down and he got something to drink and he asked me for a bag of pretzels.

He took the pretzels downstairs, grabbed the remote and climbed onto the couch. He pressed a few buttons, then handed the remote to me.

"Daddy, put Eagles on TV here. Football on here, please."

When your two year old pleads with you for Eagles football instead of Baby Einstein, well, that's a beautiful thing.

it's time to stop referring to his age with months, he can talk for shtein's sake. call him a 2 year old.

Wait until he's three and you have to explain why other teams are playing and the Eagles are not.
