Child Makes Long Journey Home Alone In Back Seat

I’m still exhausted from all the driving (and thank you, Ken, for sharing the load), but let me tell you—it is a wildly different thing to drive around with another adult in the passenger seat, instead of having them posted up behind you on Kina snack duty. As somebody who literally bought a car with the idea that his partner would be spending most of her time in the back seat with Kina, this is a novel and exciting development. Did it cost us two Kinder Eggs and seven hours of iPad time? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes.

I know I keep saying such and such this week’s Parade is my favorite yet, but this week’s parade is my favorite yet. Kina asked me to sketch a gem, and the rest was all her art direction: “only makeup colors, and mostly pink”. I think it turned out beautifully. It glitters.
