My fourth day as a single parent is drawing to a close. The boys are sound asleep, my dinner is in the oven, and the last load of laundry is almost dry. I think I’ve got the Mr. Mom thing down, at least in short bursts.

After dinner Aidan and I built our biggest train track to date. I don’t know who has more fun with this, him or me. The Thomas stuff may be pricey, but I think it’s one of the best toys for fostering creativity and imagination.
