Kids are creatures of habit. I am sure there are many reasons behind the psychology of why they repeat the same things over and over, but it can be exhausting for parents. Some days, I feel like my life is the movie Groundhog Day (I know you remember it, with Bill Murray, where the day…

Kids Fall Asleep In The Funniest Places
Kids fall asleep in the funniest places. And often in hilarious positions. They get to the point of exhaustion and just collapse wherever they are. My kids are no exception.
