 Hey parents, what’s one thing you do for your kids that you never thought you would do? I’ll start…E is currently enjoying a bath with snacks on one of those bamboo trays… lol. #asknostr parents edition 
 Can you be my Mom? I want a bath with snacks. 
 Haha right?! But as an adult I also like candles, and a good reality show or a podcast lol 
 I miss the days when my whole body fit comfortably in a standard bathtub. If it’s not an extra long tub it’s rather uncomfortable to try to soak because I’m so tall. 
 I hear ya. I am quite tall as well. That’s one of the things that sold me on our place. A deep soaker is a thing I love. Everything else is kinda falling apart cause we’re in an old building but at least I have my nightly baths lol. 
 I’m jealous. 
 Kid has it made! 
 He does. But it brings me joy too so it’s ok :) 
 💜 
 Currently: spend 1+ hours daily speaking with him using finger puppets  😆 
 Love it 
 You're a great dad Shawn! 
 This is one of a few complements that truly matter to me. Thank you, Zach. 🙏🏼

- get bamboo tray 
 It’s a good thing 
 Learned to play violin so I could help my daughter learn. I quit after "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie" but she went on to play in orchestras (I haven't picked up any instrument since!) 
 That’s amazing! Well done! 
 Aw that's nice to say. It was super nice for her teacher to teach me for free so I could do that! 
 I never imagined I would be folded up in a toddler bed reading books to my son to help him fall asleep. They aren’t made for adults, and my wife laughs when I climb in there with my kiddo, but it’s a nice time to bond with my son and only slightly uncomfortable! 😂 
 So cute! And you’ll miss it someday! 
 Never thought I'd take a toddler outside in sub-zero temps to calm him because he absolutely loves fresh air and stargazing. 
 Love it
