SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — it's FRIDAY (and yes, as promised, Harrison has brought his Friday energy!!!). For our listeners who like a parent-heavy episode more than Harrison — this one is for you!! (lol)
OK so - did you know 90% of your adult brain develops between 0 & 5?! WE DIDN’T! So we dug into a few child development topics on this episode: First… your toddler saying "um" isn't rude (side note: is it rude for adults to say um?!), it's actually an important development milestone. Other interesting things: babies who swim actually DEVELOP FASTER (better coordination, balance & body control, and they walk faster too!) and why kids in the 0-5 range absorb language SO much easier than we do as adults (it's a brain state thing called theta and it's genuinely fascinating).
Since that was “too much parenting talk” for Harrison, we did one of our date night check-ins live on the pod (ok guys, this is Jules now — would you imagine their date night convo has much to do with kids?? and when they said "kids aside," the updates also primarily revolved around parenting LOL. But no, we get a really good Flock update and a feeding journey update from Alex in this section).
Other stuff: West & Jesse are friends again?, PSA on why you should never put your kid in a blue bathing suit (safety!!), Siete is (kind of) changing their ingredients after being acquired by Pepsi, there's a LIZARD in our house, and Harrison is still on that book club is just girls night in disguise.
OH and Ginny made her pod debut!!
LOVE YOU GUYS!
