Early 2000s Childhood…

Cuddling your little and softly singing them lullabies as you doze off into sleep long before they do

Your little chronically under sleeps until you start saying you need to hold them through the night to sleep ("you have mr.teddy to sleep with but you're [title]'s mr.teddy so I need you to come cozy up in bed with me, okay?")

Falling asleep while watching your little's favourite movie/show and having them excitedly explain the entire plot of it after

Taking a nap on the couch and waking up to see your little has covered in you in makeup and stickers

Getting the coziest blankies and stuffies for you and your little to snuggle up under

Your little still into their games even when you're too tired to play ("We must rescue princess teddy without waking the evil dragon!")

Having the third sense for when your little's breaking a rule and waking right in time to stop them (and sometimes pretending you didn't notice cause they deserve a cookie or two)

Picking your little up after they had a long day and falling alseep on the couch cause neither of you had the energy to make it back to the bedroom

Haiiii, here are some things that made me happy today!

These are toys I got, two of them were in kinder eggs and one was from a happy meal and the green axolotl dude was from one of those coin crank toy dispensers that I got after kendo practice! I wanted a pink one but I love the dude I got

I also baked a cake! I got this cake pan with a lid so I don't have to transfer it into a seperate storage container which is so nice cause that also means there are fewer dishes to clean. It's a rainbow sprinkle cake!

Also I got all my chores done. I cleaned up my room, I washed all my dishes, I meal prepped with extra veggies so I get to eat nutrients all week :D I'm very proud of myself.

caregiver with a black little that has internalized racism

always makes sure to put on shows with good black rep and buy books with black characters

does your hair all pretty in cornrows or box braids and adds colourful beads to it

always reassured you you're a good kid no matter what others assume about you

and that your skin and black features are very pretty

loves making your 'non-typical' agere meals that are a bunch of Jamaican foods (/foods from your ethnicity) your mom used to make for you

will do as much as possible to keep you away from the news when regressed

will NOT let anyone tell you that pastels don't look good on you

they're try to reassure you you don't need to worry about racism and stuff cause they'll protect you but sometimes they have to admit they can't protect you from everything and just let you cry in their arms

will teach you about strong black figures

helps you reconnect with parts of your culture your parents didn't share with you like reggae music

if you're African they'll wrap you in a bunch of African prints and celebrate Kwanzaa with you

Shoutout to age regressors with trauma who use their regression to work through their trauma by talking about it to their caregiver and having someone who finally believes them about it and getting books that explain what happened to them in simple and easy to understand terms

Shoutout to regressors who swear

Regressors who grew up hearing swearing so would regularly swear as a child

Regressors who think swears are just like any other word and are completely okay as long as you're not using them to hurt someone

Regressors who think it's funny to be so itty bitty and passionately say 'fuck' after they drop their paci on the floor

Regressors who use all the words available in their brain and aren't good at filtering out swear words

Regressors who throw tantrums and say hurtful words when their emotions are strong

Regressors who don't change their speech patterns when they're regressed

Teen regressors for whom swearing is a part of their regression

DNI: nsfw, kink, anti-agere

Dippin dots!!!!!

Zoo pics from yesterday!!

Fun fact! There's this thing called misokinesia that's similar to misophonia but is triggered by other people's movements, often repetitive movements like fidgeting or stimming.

I had this as a kid really bad, I was always having meltdowns cause no one would understand just how distressing it was for me so it's really nice to find out that it's an actual thing :3

Wishing that everyone who deals with misokinesia isn't forced to stay in a space with triggering movements 🥰🥰🥰

Imagine an agere summer camp. Regresssors coming from all over to spend a week to spend a week being kids together. And finally getting to meet online friends.

Sleeping together in cabins vaguely sorted by your little ages. Littler cabins in their onzies with their pacis and diapers. Not having to hide them away and getting to show off their collections of pacis. And the older regressors staying up far past the curfew playing video games on a gameboy one of them snuck in. And a cabin for the pet regressors with pet beds for those who use them.

Having campfires and craft circles and all the pets getting to run wild (and the teen regressors getting high behind the cabins but we keep that a secret from the tinies)

Having sticker charts to reward the tinies good behavior and having glass rules the middle and older regressors get to break and feel so rebellious about.

And so many smores

when you write out a really long post then try to copy and paste it only you accidentally copy an empty line and erase everything :'(
