Man, parenting is weird.
So here’s the thing. My son is almost two years old. He was a preemie who gave us some scares those first few months, but has grown into a robust toddler who loves three things:
Climbing on furniture
Testing boundaries
The first two are relevant to this discussion. The kid is fascinated by the world around him (as he should be!) and interacts with people and objects like a noob in an open-world video game trying every possible thing out. Which, I mean, he basically is.
But as a dad, that’s disorienting. When the kid was in the hospital, I was thinking my future role of a dad would be lots of things. But professional stopper-of-toddler-from-using-the-sofa-as-a-trampoline-and-then-climbing-up-the-bookshelf was not one of them.
Anyway, greetings from this NYC expat living on the Great Lakes.
