Eighty-four percent? 
Sheesh, I guess it’s time to trot out a booty-call, A-Rod, Hooters burgers, four-on-the-floor kind of post.

Boo toppled off a booster seat, helpless. Her gyrating arms reached for me but missed &#8212; this is a scene I still replay in my head daily, even now, a month later. I was too slow, dull, and exhausted to save my own daughter from crashing to the ground.

		<description><![CDATA[So I’ve only had two weeks as a stay-at-home dad to siblings but already I’m worried I’m losing Boobaby, by degrees, to the rigors of the new job. My relationship with my older daughter becomes more strained with every baby-feeding and laundry load.

He doesn&#8217;t look up.

We don&#8217;t do timeouts.
