Toddler started preschool and is thriving and she's basically potty trained at this point. We really lucked out, it's 3 minutes away with an amazing teacher. She's only going twice a week because it's still expensive as hell even if it's cheap for the area.

It was her birthday yesterday and we took her to an animal sanctuary in the morning, Pasado's. Place was incredible, very clean and well run. She got to interact with tons of animals and just had a blast. We'll definitely go back, way better than the zoo esp since we're all vegan.

Currently my in-laws are visiting and I could write forever about them. They caused a scene yesterday evening after presents were done being opened and left back to their Airbnb in a huff. Wife has clearly communicated they need to apologize or they aren't welcome anymore (lots of backstory including physical abuse).

Her mom is trying to pretend nothing happened and her dad won't even look at her, par for the course, but we're about to force the convo after my wife finishes napping so we'll see how that goes. I won't be the least bit upset if I never see them again, if they were my parents they wouldn't even be in my life.
