Day 2300 | 2300!
/
Another round of 100 posts. Boy, these always sneak up on me. It’s a nice reminder to slow down and reflect on what’s going on in our lives, though. And I really love looking through the past 100-day posts (see below). New for this round of updates: bunny-related categories. Obviously, we couldn’t leave him out! Not to sound too obvious, but, man, the days really do fly by, don’t they?
Here’s the team update. Enjoy!
Sara
FAVORITES: reading (my new favorite is The Book of Longing…I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!), dried mangos (always), homemade chai lattes (my official cold-weather beverage for winter 2021-2022), spotting the boys in their natural habitat when I’m subbing, Chris’s hot toddy recipe (my official adult-beverage for winter 2021-2022), listening to musicals, playing board games with the boys, volunteering at/for the school
FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: when he jumps up on my stomach (while laying on the floor) and requests pets
LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: navigating his propensity to communicate using the only method he thinks we understand—peeing (thankfully, it’s not smelly and he expresses himself this way in small quantities).
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: saying no to subbing requests. I just want to help out that lovely group of educators in every way I can, you know?
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: being warm again. I don’t need winter to be over entirely but temperatures above 30° with some sun would be welcomed.
Chris
FAVORITES: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2, researching and planning upcoming vacations (this guy is becoming a deal-finding expert on flights), listening intently and responding enthusiastically to all video game/role play game/Pokémon commentary going on around him, enjoying music from his new record player, playing HeroQuest
FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: periscoping (when he stands up on his hind-legs…it’s adorable)
LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: not receiving the amount of love and attention he would like with every encounter.
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: finishing all of his continuing legal education credits before July. He’s making good progress.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: the chance to use his new outdoor lights for a sweet game of football with his new sticky wide-receiver gloves (can you tell we’ve been cooped up in the house for too long?!?)
Chase
AGE: Almost 10 (Eek! Ten!)
FAVORITES: Roleplay games, being in charge, Smarties, video games, school (including his teacher), pretzel hummus sandwiches, chocolate chip pancakes, drinking tea, reading (and reading and reading), the Encanto soundtrack, giving Flopsy treats, re-reading books he’s already read
FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: the sheer excitement and intensity in which he accepts every meal he receives.
LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: getting scared when the bun startles after being sneaked up on.
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: all of his pants shrinking. It’s the weirdest thing…they just keep becoming too short.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: having all of his friends over for a role play game hangout
Robbe
AGE: Almost 8
FAVORITES: Pokemon anything, the card game Frog Juice, puzzling, reading graphic novels, playing video games, sneaking snuggles from Flopsy, waking his mom up in the middle of the night for bonus snuggles, chocolate chip pancakes, hot cocoa with Reddi-wip and peppermint stir-sticks
FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: when he washes his face with his cute little paws.
LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE BUN: not being able to hold him (the bunny rescue told us young children shouldn’t)
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: waiting. For anything and everything. He’s always just waiting.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: collecting all the Pokemon cards in the world.
