Vacationing with a Toddler — Just Working It Out What it’s really like to vacation with a toddler.

Spotlight on Mr. Mayor: How Having a Baby Increases Your Rate of Small Talk I was never one to engage in conversations with strangers—having a baby changed all that.

We crushed Maine, or rather, being on vacation with a 1 1/2 old crushed us, but it’s all good. Oliver had a blast in the water and absolutely loved eating sand.

I used to marvel repeatedly at the illustrations in this book and dream of what it would be like to live in a city with twinkling lights and bejeweled bridges.
