โMy 5yo, 2yo, wife, and I: *trying to have a nice continental breakfast while on vacation*
The TV in the hotel lobby as we eat: "this man was electrocuted for 10 minutes while drowning in a hot tub, here are the excruciating details!"
According to my 2yo, there has never been and will never be a stand-up comedy routine so absolutely hilarious as when their foot "rings" and I answer it like a telephone. Belly laughs for days.

Had a fun parenting moment the other day. Blew a breaker in the kitchen and was using a voltage wand much like this to figure out exactly which line was blown.
My 5yo & 2yo asked me what it was and rather than outright tell them, I said it is a tool that tells me something, and asked if they could figure out what exactly it was trying to tell me.
So we went around the house putting it near different things to see if the light would stay green, or turn red and beep. It took them a bit, but eventually they determined that it tells you when there's "dangerous electricity" in the thing it was near, not "safe electricity" like batteries or cords that weren't plugged in, but also that sometimes things that aren't obvious (like a lamp that is plugged in but not turned on) can still carry dangerous levels of electricity.
It was a really nice teaching moment and I think they learned a good thing or two about both different types of dangerous electrical items, why we use some tools for safety, and how to apply reason and deduction to narrow down possibilities to come to a conclusion.

My daughter was having trouble using Home Assistant dashboards because her hands are tiny and she kept accidentally right clicking. So I made her a toddler friendly interface.
Introducing Home Assistot!
Left or right clicks on any of the sections trigger a correspondingly named Home Assistant script: red, blue, green, & rainbow. I've set those scripts to change the lights.

It's my daughter's second birthday! I setup Sugar Labs on an old laptop MacBook Air. The laptop had a broken keyboard so I bought her a cheap fun keyboard and mouse combo.
Sugar Labs is neat, it's got a simple UI which will help her learn how to navigate and a few simple programs for her to play with. It has a simple Python IDE but it might be a little while until she's ready to play with that. It has a web browser too so I might setup some custom Home Assistant dashboards so she can change the lights, control her train, etc. And I'll see if I can setup Signal or alike so she can call her grandparents.
I remember playing on our family Amstrad CPC when I was 4yo. It came with BASIC and it was my first exposure to coding. I want my daughter to have the opportunity to be a creator of tech instead of just a consumer of tech.

Day #4 of a cold going around the house - hit the #2yo and wife last night. I was up half the night comforting the kiddo and sleeping on the couch so the wife could have some relief. Taking the day off today to care for the #kids (the #4yo is on the mend!) and let the wife rest more... And to await my inevitable fate. I feel like this bit from #HIMYM.

The peak of human culinary achievement is clearly the #2yo dipping their banana in their ranch dressing.

FiXatoHearing your kid say "igjen" ("again") after wrestling with him, tossing him around on the sofa and tickling him. <3
Unfortunately his stamina is greater than mine, so I switched over to letting him do 'sit-ups' while holding my hands and counting in Dutch, English and Norwegian. :)
