#206 – Rice bins, with mixed success

#205 – Who We Hug

We talk about how Laura treated herself for her birthday amidst social distancing, and some of our favorite treats. We also talk about how self-isolating/social distancing is going, what we think the kids have noticed. Laura’s 4 year old has been fairly observant about the rules of social distancing while Caitlin’s introvert hasn’t seemed to be too affected. Laura worries about her son’s natural kid instinct to run to greet people. We end with only #igotthis moments, since we all need more positivity.

#204 – We Miss The Grocery Store

Did you ever think you’d hear us wax poetically about the grocery store? Well here it is! We also try to keep it short (naptime) and focus on the positive #igotthis moments (the world is ending). We would love to hear how you’re keeping it positive too!

#203 – What it would be like if…

It’s still mostly Quarantine Talk. We’re trying not to play the “what it would be like if” game and trying to limit social media and news. This one devolves a bit at the end as our two-year-olds get involved. We recorded the next episode at nap time, I promise!

#200 – The Naivete Before the Coronavirus Storm

*DISCLAIMER: We recorded this podcast on March 11, which was just before it became abundantly clear to us that COVID-19 was not just on our doorstep, it was in our figurative yard, and in our figurative garage. Therefore you will hear us (and in particular, Caitlin) continue to question the contagion, the responses, the leading edge worriers, and overall what we should have been doing. Rest assured listeners, we have since done a 180 degree shift and are aggressively social distancing. Enjoy our naivete and blissful unawareness about what was about to hit us. Know that we have changed, that it’s ok to change your mind and do better. Please: STAY HOME.  

Caitlin talks about a recent hard night she had with both boys, and how she’s begun snoring. Laura has been enjoying being out in the nice weather (blergh) and recaps Siblings Without Rivalry and How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk.

#199 – Are you in line?

Laura’s washing machine is broken and we talk about corona virus, so you  might think for a moment that you’re listening to For Crying Out Loud. We also get into some hot regionalisms talk, so maybe it’s more like ARIYNBF? In any case, we then give pee-related don’t got thises and Caitlin loves to sing.

We talked about Line v. queue YouTube videoIn this video, he consistently uses “in” for both queue and line.

#198 – Are We Ok With Pole?

We start off the episode chatting about our summer plans, as you do in February, and then look forward even further to kindergarten, ever looming over our year. Caitlin talks more about getting Joe evaluated for early intervention. We then spend much of the episode talking, way belatedly, about the Superbowl Halftime Show. Laura reads an amazing fan email, thank you friend!
