Just call me ‘mom’

Hailey:  Jenny, will you read me a story? Me:  Uh…yeah.  But call me “mom”, okay?  It’s weird to call your mom by her first name. Hailey:  Oh.  (Shrugs.)  Okay, sweetie.

Apparently Hailey gave themselves an actual concussion by throwing their head back into a metal pole while laughing too hard and then almost did it again while fake swooning in the doctors office and this is exactly how I know they are my child.
Sleepy baby. HE’S JUST SLEEPING, I ASSURE YOU.
Slo-mo of Dorothy Barker and her toy. The noise of the squeaky toy slowed done is my new favorite thing.
Hailey and their adorable sweetheart visited @nowherebookshop today while I signed books and it was a much-needed perfect day.
