- The baby is sleeping.
- The 3 year old has been looking at books or playing quietly by himself for an HOUR AND A HALF. He has checked in with me a couple of times to say, "I love you".
- I have been casually doing my own thing, with a child awake, for an HOUR AND A HALF.
- This is almost-complete freedom of mind and movement, with a child awake.
- This has never happened before.
- The sun is shining, the day is warm.
- It is a beautiful, sweet-smelling day.
And...the kicker:
- I feel guilty about it.
Don't you dare! Rejoice!
