Our wine club had a dinner tonight—don’t worry, it was never as fancy as the name suggests, and now that most of us have kids, it’s more like juice club—and Anna had a great time. Sneaking a nibble of cookies and tres leches cake is always a good time for a one-year-old kid. But we managed to time the sugar crash just right, and she is out. Now Laura and I can try to watch the Pats game in silence.
