Last night was a lovely night. We sat down together to eat as family for the first time in weeks. Cole has been swamped with sponsoring this robotics team. Children of Urbana High School...do you have a clue as to how lucky you are that you get my husband four nights a week and every Saturday from January to April? DO YOU?! Eh, you won't understand it until you have your own family. And that's fine. I wouldn't have gotten it at 17 either.
Anyway, last night Cole ditched the robotics team (don't worry, they have other sponsors, too) and came straight home after work. Seeing him four hours earlier than usual was fantastic. He and Ian took to the rug after bath time to do some Lego building. For an hour and a half Ian worked quietly and diligently to build a firetruck while Cole watched and offered very, very, very occasional help. It was good for them. It was good for all of us.
