Because of the way we spaced our kids’ births, I had seven continuous years of this stuff. I miss the tiny simple world requiring such objects. But I love seeing my kids grow into the people they are.
The youngest turned three recently. She was already — for at least a year now — not a “toddler” by any definition. But you could squint at our two-year-old and still read “baby.” Three is a magic birthday because now this kid is a kid.
