The child is trying to kill us. Breakfast tacos and coffee to the rescue.

Ever since she learned how to use the door knob, our 2-year old has decided to make it her life’s mission to sleep in our room. We don’t co-sleep. Ever. No exceptions. There have been nights when I have had to put her back to bed a dozen times (their rooms are in the floor below us). Last night it was five times, the latest of which was 2:30 am. Then she was back up in our room at 6:15, so we gave up and woke up.

Breakfast tacos and black coffee are our only salvation right now. The tacos were fantastic.

We always listen to music when we eat. The kid started dancing to “Purple Rain” at the table. I hate that song, but it lifted the mood for sure.

So this is what I have to look forward to? Our little guy is closing in on 1.

Currently playing with liquor bottles...

Our older one didn’t do this. I think I put her back to bed once or twice. This one has been 20+ times in the last week and a half. I’d be putting a lock on the outside of her door, if my wife would let me.

Both of mine were/are obsessed with beer/soda bottles.

It’s really both. They’re both amazing and at times infuriating.

They’re simply scrambled eggs and cheese. Simple, but delicious.

Good on you for saying no to cosleeping. We didn’t do that, though I wish we had.

He’s teething now, so putting the top in his mouth is his goal. Several have wood caps so they’re his favorites.

Those tacos look awesome btw

I really think it’s best not to cosleep, for a variety of reasons.

Yeah, they love gnawing on those bottle tops when they’re teething. Mine also loved the edges of my coffee cup.

The tacos were fantastic. Better than they really had any right to be.

Sounds good. Needs bacon, everything needs bacon.

Just had a look at a recipe of chorizo, eggs, onions, green peppers, salsa, etc...

I may give it a go tomorrow morning.

Now to choose the right chorizo, we sell nine different ones.

These two look promising.

Bacon would make it much better, but they were great nonetheless.

That sounds fantastic. Mmmm ... chorizo.

I’m with you — my wife, not so much.

I had tacos for dinner, and looking at your tacos makes me want more tacos.

Certainly, eggs, cheese and a flour based case always go down well.

Lol, so my friends have a kind and she is younger and she goes to bed at their predesignated bed time, the wife goes to bed around 9-10 usually, and the husband around 1. Well the wife some reason always wakes up between 1 and 2 and then goes back to sleep. Some time between the 1 and 2 and moring their daughter is always in their bed and would have to crawl over them and a couple cats to get into bed and wakes no one up.

Munchkin 2 Count Door Knob Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007A2ZP6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ik3Czb64V220V

Door knob covers. They’re awesome. Either on your doorknob or the inside of the kids doorknob.

Another good one is the Cardinal Gates Door Guardian for exterior doors. Or as the Finnlet calls it “the secret lock” since it’s mounted at the top of the door where he can’t reach it. That got installed after he woke up before us and went out onto the back porch one morning. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RL1IMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tm3Czb8VTPBGD

Today, I am not jealous. My wife just got back from south Texas and my mother-in-law sent fresh tamales. Tamales with fried eggs, sausage, and salsa for breakfast! Yum!
