Max has figured out how to get into the cabinet under the kitchen sink. You know the one, the cabinet that houses all the grimy sponges and rejected vases that don’t fit into my designated “GLASSWARES” cabinet, the plastic bowl and scrubber brush with brown stains of mysterious origins. Its the cabinet with the cleansers, [...]
We’ve been preschoolin’ it up for a solid 5 weeks now, old pros for sure. Our bodies aren’t as confused when we force them to wake up at 6am, get dressed, brush hair, find the shoes and hit the road Jack. Though they do still protest.
