Easy parenting

Rachel ran some errands this afternoon with Elizabeth, and it struck me, as it always does, how much easier life is with two rather than three. I sat in a chair in the sun, and Parker and Miranda played happily away, and the whole thing was downright restful.

Also, Parker discovered a fun new way to play on the play structure in the backyard. Some time ago Peter did this on a visit, and I remember thinking how odd it must be to have a son old enough to blithly climb up the side and over the top of the play structure. Turns out it's not odd at all.
