Part of it is my selfish desire to be able to skip town at a moment’s notice

meow-sense:

but also I feel guilty when I am away from him for too long.  At least a baby could hop a flight with me. Can’t really throw this fluffy joker in a Baby Bjorn and board a flight to Europe.

This is the top reason I love where we live right now-
Our landlords always look out for Calvin when were gone.
He spends all his holidays with them, as well as Hurricane Irene, and we know he’s in good hands.

folkinz:

I chaperoned Jasper’s field trip today and including him I had four kids to watch in total. I sat with them on the bus and as we were just about to get on the highway one of the boys said, “They’re doing a lot of construction here, right?” I said, “yes” because obviously they were. Then he added, as only an 8 year old can add, “Oh, there’s the liquor store where my mom gets her wine.”

That will be my kid someday. God willing.
