One of the joys of babysitting a five year old, they appreciate dad jokes. We were riding the bus and he was telling me all about insects as that was the topic at school. He told me the bug they talked about today was ants. I asked him, straight-faced, what about the uncles? Look of confusion on his face at first, then I could see the wheels turning as the joke slowly hit his funny bone. A big grin on his face, he burst into laughter and giggled with happiness at having 'got' the joke.

What a great feeling. It's the little things.

Here I was bellyaching about my sore jaw after a single tooth pull when my husband reminded me that JackJack (the cat) had the majority of his teefs pulled last month due to gum disease. Little guy is fine now, though. And Potatoes is home from the vet as of yesterday afternoon after her infection ordeal, catching up on snuggles.

But waaah, my mouth hurts 😭
