“Water your cermet” - Jenna Marbles
meet the goblins.
Two brothers, one of whom is very into Spidey & His Amazing Friends inspiring the endearing term goblins. I’m an occupational therapist, not for children and definitely not for my children… but I do remember some things from grad school that sometimes feel relevant.
parenting lies told by the internet.
Swim diapers catch pee.
They don’t. At all. They’re only designed to trap poop, which is a noble but limited job description. So unless you enjoy washing Eau de Pee out of your car seat, don’t put that thing on until you’re poolside.
YES, reusable swim diapers are a thing. Good for the planet, your wallet, and your sanity.

Water tables 101: add a water pump from for instant splash-zone pandemonium. Honestly, the Little Tikes or Step 2 water table is worth the cost in my opinion for the little people who are still pulling to stand. The knock off Amazon brands just can’t manage that kind of responsibility.
Reusable water balloons: less cleanup, more refills, zero regrets. These secure with magnets, so they should be kept away (or closely monitored, iykyk) to avoid ingesting magnets.
Pop-up pool: folds flat, unlike that cracked plastic beast that eats half your garage.

Water edition inspired by our best friend’s house who lives “far far away” in Missouri. Praise the gods for built in car screens, snacks, and a baby that will sleep 4.5 hours both ways.
