embarrassingly, the neighbor saw me spank finn for it earlier in the day. he commented, "the world would be a better place if more parents would do that." and i thought that i really have no idea about any of that. i'm just doing the best i can to stay afloat around here. aren't we all? ultimately the chores i had him do in consequence made a greater impression than my hand on his buns, i think.

being a parent is quite difficult sometimes. i'm so thankful for a partner who helps me side-by-side. and reminds me not to sweat the small stuff.
