I am really excited about sharing more of St. Louis with you, especially because it gives me an excuse to get out and discover new places. And on those days when I am struggling for a kid&#8217;s activity to share with you, I will be sure to share a favorite book for kids. And of course, as soon as spring has sprung, we will do plenty of garden-related posts.

I am hoping not to undo all of the good that has come from Andrew taking care of the boys for the past 5 days. Seriously, he put my parenting to shame. He has Emil on a nap schedule, Oliver getting himself dressed and undressed and independently toileting (he always asked for help for all of these things before), laundry and dishes all caught up, and Emil sitting at the big boy table eating breakfast every morning with his big bros. Plus, he took them on all sorts of adventures and has started their third Roald Dahl book <em>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8074\/8376349961_931263f003_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0082\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Look at Oliver&#8217;s concerned expression!
