180 Days with William

When Natalie goes to Kindergarten, I will have 180 school days alone with William.  Its small in comparison to the 700 days Natalie had before William's birth, but I hope to make the best of our time together.

A bucket list for our year:

1. Let William choose all the songs on the car radio.  
2. Have conversations in the car with William.  
3. Go out to lunch alone together.  
4. Go to a movie alone together.

6. Ride the tricycle and roller-skates down the street.

19. Mail a special letter at the post office.  
20. Walk somewhere with William holding Mommy's hand on one side and Daddy's on the other.  
21. Build a sand castle and decorate it with rocks, shells, and sticks.
