This is so good, Tyan, and it reminds me of a poem my grandmother sent to me when our children were very small. I think of my Grammy now, as I share it with you. She would be 112 were she alive today.

Dust will keep, babies won't
“Cleaning and scrubbing can wait for tomorrow,
For babies grow up, I’ve learned, to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep.
I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep.”

What a lovely idea this is . . so refreshingly different and really communicates.
