And sometimes all the stars align.

Sniffly baby who didn't nap went down just as Bub's bus was due home.  This gave me the rare chance to play outside with the big boy without chasing a toddler. He was so happy to play with just me, it tore up my heart. I couldn't have been happier, myself, to find a birds nest, play science center, and build a kick ass fort.

He told me "This is the greatest day, right now!"
That makes it all worth it, Little Man.
