Miles seems to have reached a turning point lately in his ongoing relationship with Lisa, his babysitter. Although he still fusses occasionally as we leave him on the nights when she's helping us out, he's become more and more acclimated (dare I say...enthused?) to having her there (perhaps because she almost immediately takes him outside … Continue reading Year 2, Day 40

Year 2, Day 31
Parenting is a partnership, and it can be really hard for either Jaclyn or I to take time for ourselves, since neither of us ever really wants to leave the other hanging.
