I feel like it is only fair to share some of the wisdom I’ve acquired as a parent over the years, so here is another Pro-Tip of mine.  If your daughter is stalling to get ready in the morning, stopping to ask 528,901 questions about everything (including counting the individual bristles on all five of our toothbrushes), and ensuring that you will be late to school, just say these words:

If you don’t hurry up and get dressed right now, I’m going to have to go to school drop off without pants on!

Works like a charm. The hilarious shrieks that follow are enough to scare her straight and listen for the remainder of the morning. Finally, an instance where she’s happy I own so many pairs of yoga pants. She might incur a really high therapy bill in the future, but she’ll look so cute doing so. Happy Thursday, folks. The week is almost finished!
