Life Hack From My 2 1/2 Year Old

So I’ve been doing this daddy thing for almost three years now and I Am Loving It.  It’s got to be the coolest “job” ever.  And also she makes me feel smart too but that’s not what this quick blog is about.  It’s about what my daughter figured out and I’m 48 years old and I’m like, dang that’s smart.  Now if you’re like me you love the cool feel of the pillow but how long does it stay cool with your head resting on it?  We’ve all done it, you wake up in the middle of the night just to flip the pillow.  Then you end up waking yourself up more and the next thing you know, it’s 45 minutes later.  Well my 2 1/2 year old somehow figured out you keep a reserve pillow right beside the other one and when one gets warm and you want that cool feel, just slide over to the other one and keep on snoozing.  I have no idea how she figured out to have two pillows on the bed but sure enough she now asks for two and when I asked her why she needed two, she just said “other one cool”.  That’s when I put it together what she was doing.  So Ruthanna and I watcher her with our cam monitor one night and sure enough, after a few hours she just sorta scootched over to the other one and didn’t miss a beat.  So now, I have a extra pillow tucked in right beside my other one and when I want the cool, I just scoot a little and I’m able to get right back to sawing logs.  Thank you Moriah for teaching daddy a life hack.
