This week we chat about growing concerns regarding Kristen's youngest and speech. They discuss advice they have received from a speech pathologist, and of course Talia shares about one of Skye's hilarious speech therapists. We chat about comparison as parents, and how difficult it is to compare, especially with your first child, but how it sometimes is necessary.

This week we are discussing back to school. Talia fills us in on the latest information she has about her expectations as a teacher. We spend the entire 40+ minutes unpacking back to school this year. We discuss the perpetual underfunding, the undervaluing of teachers, and the insane decisions teachers will have to make for the safety of themselves, their students, and their families.

This week we do another check-in to keep each other accountable for challenging racism around us. We then get Talia's insight into some kindergarten readiness skills for the upcoming school year. Spoiler alert, they have more to do with social and emotional skills than academic skills. We then discuss the pros and cons of military life.

We can't believe we have made it to 100 episodes! This week we start off by sharing what we had originally chatted about doing for our 100th episode. Then we start a weekly check-in on how we are working on anti-racism in our lives, including of course where we are stumbling. We chat about updating history curriculum in schools and how Talia has been approaching it in previous years. We also share stories and chat about the usual shenanigans such as kids eating 80 trillion meals per day, growth spurts, etc.

This episode is a lot of us fumbling as we realize how little we have done to be ally's and taking a good hard look at ourselves. This episode is not a signal for sympathy, nor do we have a lot of answers. This is a place where we fumble through learning and listening, and letting you know that if you are struggling to understand how to stand strong and fight racism, we are here to fumble with you. We probably said a lot of things wrong, and we will continue to learn.
