I've been giving the Anthony Bradley article advice for years. My oldest is now in high school and folks with whom I went to high school and college are dealing with their first toddler. It's far easier to get these things done in your early 20's than to struggle doing them at the height of your career, when you can't take time off work and you're starting to deal with those 40's health issues.

But then Amazon Fire TV pops up with "This day in 2008" and you see a little boy in a teddy bear Halloween costume and want to do it all over again.
