Universal Baby Translator – ‘Geekasaurus’ January 30th, 2019

Anyone else need one of these? Alice has a lot of words – cookie, cracker, juice, not yet, no way, up, high five; but she’s also at that age where she strings together “sentences” of nonsense. She knows what she means. We, however, do not. And it’s adorable, until she gets super upset and is desperately trying to communicate. Snot flys, tears are everywhere, and (at times) I become pretty exasperated.

Working from home is hard. I’m doing a lot at once. I’m a cartoonist, housekeeper, writer, chauffeur, illustrator, personal chef, balloon twister, nanny, magician, nurse, web designer … seriously, I might be better off just picking one thing and sticking to it. Parenting and simultaneously trying to build a business (well, businesses) is exhausting. It doesn’t surprise me that I can get frustrated now and again. I have a lot of patience, it’s just not unlimited.

If I could just figure out what the heck “botty” means, maybe things would go a tiny bit smoother.
