Finding Her Voice #BarbieProject | My Organized Chaos
There’s one particular song that Katie took a massive liking to, from Barbie The Princess & The Popstar. She watched and learned, over and over again. First singing along with the movie quietly and then she became louder.
After a while, she would sing ‘Here I am‘ while playing with her The Princess & The Popstar Barbie dolls. Yet, she would immediately stop and look almost guilty when she realized anyone was listening.
Over time, her voice strengthened and she found the courage to sing loud and to anyone within earshot. She even requested me to take video of her performing, which was remarkable.
It took a couple of years, yet now she belts out tunes all day long, on planes and even among strangers in a foreign land.
Literally, Katie sings all.the.time. When playing with Barbies, she opts to sing words instead of speaking them. Katie sings while she walks, in the car and even as she’s falling asleep. I have to admit to giggling when Sophia, her twin sister, is the one telling her to “settle down.”
Katie is finding her way. Her strength. Her ability to shine and be the star of the show after all these years.

Daily #2,494! Toddlers always be lying at mealtime.
My 5-y-o spotted the ladder up the back of the Tim Horton’s building, and asked me what’s up there. Then he whispered, “I bet it’s a hot tub.”

My five-year-old doodles on the back of his school work, and it slays me directly into the ground.
Chad wisdom teeth
Wisdom tooth impaction is a very recent phenomenon starting mainly as a problem after the Industrial Revolution.
Wisdom teeth are impacted due to diminishing jaw strength during a human’s development; crucially during a human’s toddler years when the child’s jaw is developing the fastest. Most children are raised on soft food and humans continue to eat primarily soft foods for most of their lives.
I can’t find it currently, but there was a study in a dental journal published in the last few years that compared jaw-room/strength between urban and rural children in Ireland in the 1880’s(?) and children today. Overall modern children have smaller room in their mouths and their jaws are smaller than children of the same age in the 1880’s(?). But there was also a contrast between urban children and rural children in Ireland. The urban children, on average, had smaller mouth room versus their rural counterparts due to the urban children having greater access to processed foods while children in the rural areas ate raw/harder foods more often and a stronger jaw was developed during their formative years.
If you want to help prevent a weak jaw and the later issues of misaligned teeth and impacted molars, regularly introduce harder/tougher foods to them at a young age.
glad to know incel jaw has a scientific precedent and that the solution is to feed my toddler beef jerky

No parent wants to know their children practice some kind of sexual performance.
