Zac is at such an exhausting age, I love it when they are walking and talking - but as long as their eyes are open they are a liability to themselves and hence there is no rest for you or your wife.

When my boys were little we were always in a park and collecting leaves and sticks and stones - the house was always in chaos! There will never be enough hours in the day for parents of toddlers - just do what makes you and your family happy and don't worry about anything else or what anyone else thinks.

PS and remember to stay in touch!
