Parenting Pro Tip: Look Away

I took this photo of Heidi and our friends’ snuggle bear, Dakota, two summers ago. Sadly, Dakota passed on, but he’s now in a better place. A place where squirrels always let Dakota catch them. Also, notice how close I let Heidi get to his thingy. Not once did I bite my lip or ask Ben, fourteen times in a row, if he thought she was getting too close.

See me?

I’m letting go.  No big deal.

Baby’s got her hands inches from the dog’s dirty crotch. What’s this behind my back, you ask? Oh, that’s weird, where did this hand sanitizer come from?
