I love “I Am A Bunny”! Does anyone else find it strange that a bunny can fit under a toad stool? What type of fungi is that?

I didn’t even know the keys of my laptop came off until my one year-old worked his little talons under them and exposed mountains of dog hair. I’ve been checking diapers for a week for the missing tab key.

I do feel for you. My husband rarely saw our daughter for her first 4 months of life. Not because he wasn’t coming home because he was traveling, but because he worked from 4:30am until 8 or 9 everyday, including weekends. His choice, not forced by any means. Needless to say, this created some rough spots in our marriage, and still does because he still works too much. Although he has slowed down some. He usually sees her for an hour or so before she goes to bed.

My deepest sympathies.

Thank you for the video link – that made my day and I’ve shared it with everybody I know. Bloody brilliant.
My husband often works 12 hour-plus days, so I feel your pain on the all-baby all-the-time front. I’ve resorted to scheduling stuff for us as often as possible that keeps us out of the house for several hours a day so that I don’t go crazy, and she doesn’t get bored. This doesn’t help on the days I’d rather stay at home in sweatpants, but in the long run we’re both better off and less cabin fevery.

I think those books are peaceful, until I read them nine thousand times. Emily’s favorite book (and one of mine) is But Not The Hippopotamus by Sandra Boynton. I love it. But I find that after three years of reading it at least twice a day, by the last page I am really sad. There’s an armadillo involved, and I no longer understand why the armadillo can’t be involved when the group already accepted the hippopotamus.

That made my day. Favorite line: “Mullet with headlights… Over-surprised guy.”

And you pulled the line for this post’s headline that I could NOT STOP SINGING for weeks after I first saw this. It’s the best line in the video, and right after that is “What the effin crap, that angel dude just felt me up…”

The internet was made for shit like this.

My husband and I used to WTF about the “hard yellow food bowl” line too. The typesetting made it even funnier. Isn’t it more like

FEEL MY HARD
yellow food bowl

And I find the bunny book both peaceful AND melancholy…

Loved the video!

As for teething during heatwave – buy an air conditioner and keep her on a steady motrin drip 24/7.

Popsicles are good for both of you if she’ll eat one.
