I love our daughter. I love playing with her, hugging her, and going for walks with her. However sometimes it's just really awesome to go for a walk alone with Laura. It's been a while since that's been a regular thing. Probably a bit over 18 months if I had to guess.
It used to be that we could be spontaneous. Make up meal plans on the spot. Go for a bike ride and be out for 4 hours that you never thought that you had to spare. Stuff like that. Doing that now seems almost impossible. So we did the next best thing: dropped Alice off with her grandparents and then were spontaneous in a roughly set window of time. It was great. I miss those. I need to add "spontaneous" events to our calendar - well in advance so we can plan for them of course.
