## Resource

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re coming off Easter weekend (still in our pastels!) and Harrison is officially petitioning for no work on Easter Mondays (too much Aperol!) Which got us thinking... when did Easter become Christmas in spring?! That turns into a bigger conversation about gifts, toys, and the very real question of whether your kid can actually have TOO MANY (especially once you find the one toy they’ll play with for 30+ mins and suddenly everything else in the room starts feeling unnecessary). We also get into postpartum prep for baby #2, and how buying all of that stuff again brought back a LOT of memories from the first time around (some of which I think I had conveniently blocked out). We talk through what we actually need this time, what we’re doing differently with baby #2, and why second-time prep feels way less chaotic. Then we get into the toddler phase we’re very much in right now: teaching street safety without fully terrifying yourself (and the toddler!!!), whether “gentle parenting” got a bad rap, and what a kid under 2 can actually understand when you’re trying to keep them safe. Plus, a little reality TV break (we see the comments are mixed - skip this section if you hate it, comment what we should watch next if you love it) , audiobooks vs. reading (pt. 2983482), the commenter who may have finally solved Harrison’s cough, and two fun things we DMed eachother: Japan Airlines’ baby icon and the Chick-fil-A family phone challenge. LOVE YOU GUYS!
