Kids ask hard questions sometimes. Like “Why does the sonic have a green light at the tip?”, referring to the 11th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver I have on my desk.
Asides
Zoom
The minion is having a make-believe Zoom call. No screen, just an old, broken keyboard I’ve given her to play with.
The wife and I both had to come say hi to her “work people” – she always pops in during my bi-weekly video call with the rest of my team to say hello 😀
Uncooperative insects
The minion just had a meltdown because a cockroach wouldn’t stay put so she can look at it.
In other news, we’ve gone two nights in a row with no diaper and no accidents. Yay!
Also, I can give her a series of instructions to complete a task, and not only does she complete the task successfully, she actually comes back and ask questions if she’s not sure what to do. She’s already more advanced than most highschoolers I’d ever taught, and a disturbing number of adults I know…
Baby Yoda
My mother-in-law made the minion a plushy of The Child, aka Baby Yoda, from The Mandalorian.
I want one too!
Growing up
And just like that, the minion no longer needs her step stool and training seat to use the toilet. (She’s fallen in a couple times, but thinks it’s very funny when that happens.)
This morning she also selected her own outfit for the day and dressed herself, and brushed her teeth, all without any assistance from us.
I’ll be teaching her how to drive one of these days (don’t tell anyone, but I’ve already started…)
