Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

How filthy can a three year old get a pair of pants in one day?

[–] Dave 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that a challenge? We don't even get them dressed until after breakfast to try to get them to daycare in clean clothes.

Daycare does all sorts of messy or wet activities, and sometimes it's just plain old pee or poo. It's pretty rare to have a kid returned in the same pants you sent them away in.

Yep. They are pretty gross all around, I've definitely changed my views on what counts as dirty.

Wow....there is so much that can happen.

We try to keep it to only one extra set of clothes in the middle of the day. We have had 4 sets of pants in one day.....paint, playdoh, mud, water, food, food, food, food, brothers, boogers......the list can keep going on and on......

Kids are just pure filth interposed with brief periods of cleanliness.

Oh man the boogers! I knew I'd missed an important one. With ours, it's notable when we go a week without a snotty nose. This kid has been worse than our others, at 2 we had a stretch of nearly 6 months with a drippingly snotty nose every day.
