An observation from my trip: Maybe little girls aren't so bad.
I realized that Guard Wife lives on my route home, so ol' Charlie and I stayed the night with her on the road trip. Our arrival coincided with her daughter's 5th birthday party. I was mentally thinking, "What did I agree to do?", but the party was charming and funny.
And Guard Wife's two daughters never made a bicker or a peep the whole time I was there. No fussing, no whining, no "she's hitting me!" They really upped the bar for me on child behavior. Maybe little girls might be up my alley.
Ha, now I just know Guard Wife will mess up her dynamic by adding a boy to the mix!

The girls were 'encouraged' before you arrived to behave themselves so that you wouldn't think they were being raised by wolves or something worse. :)
I appreciate your help at the party a lot. Those kind of 'events' make me nervous, big time, and it was nice to have you in my corner!
As far as adding a boy to the mix...yeah, it sounds like something I'd go and do.
