They're all asleep! Every last one. Philip is beside me looking even more angelic than usual. What a sweet, perfect little person he is. The most cuddly, affectionate, silly little boy. He is my pride and joy for sure. And more of a little boy than a baby every day. And Miss Topaz, such a little handful. She surprises me every day with her quick little mind and silly sweet nature. I sometimes forget what a wonderful chance I have, to be here with these two every single day with no exceptions. I am the primary person to them, the one who knows them best and whose problems I can often solve without thinking just because I know them so well. It's such a cliche, but I really should cherish this fleeting time instead of racing through it waiting for the next stage. What will I do when I'm out of the baby stage? I'll move on and grow with the kids, no doubt, but this time, this rapid growth and constant development and exploration, everything is so new and amazing and I get to be here to be part of it. How could I ever worry about the details, like where we're going to live? Maybe that really is a silly little detail. Everything I care about will be with me whether I stay here or move away. We will adapt together.
