What a perfect reminder that independence isn’t just about flexibility. It’s about those specific, unscripted moments that make the trade-offs worth it
There's been a lot of sickness in our house this winter. Managing it is a delicate balance: being present as a parent, appreciating the educational magic of SciShow Kids on headphones, and trying to find work that's okay to interrupt because I never know when the next interruption is coming. Or, on the flip side, those moments when my 6-year-old is suddenly content to read by himself for an hour and something I needed to do actually gets done.
It's always nice to see your posts. Hopefully, I'll see you again at a Ruby conference in the future.

This is me at least once a week, Joe.
