It is past midnight and the 6 year old is awake I did this to myself.

Last time she was here, I put on Free Rein (horse girl Netflix show for kids) and she loved it.

And now that she's back she was like "I'm just gonna watch one episode before bed"

IT'S BEEN MANY EPISODES

ill trade you for a 3 year old

oh no, 3 year olds are much harder

children are still here and I love them very much but I also desperately want them to go home.

I have work and media to consume and RP to write and I can do none of those things with them here

I bought play doh in primary colors and Elena's been mixing pieces together to make more colors, which is exactly what I hoped for.

But now she wants me to judge her colors and rank them, which is not what I hoped for
