Every now and then, Charley and I trick ourselves into thinking we’ve unlocked the secret level of parenting.
3yo was out cold on the couch by 6:30 — carried her to bed like a sleepy loot drop.
5yo did bedtime without a single side quest or boss battle. Even brushed his teeth without rolling for resistance.
And 7yo? Just casually started putting herself to bed while I was mid-story with her brother.
Is... is this what a peaceful evening feels like? Have we levelled up??
(We fully expect a surprise boss fight at 2am, but for now: bliss.)
