the to-do list

When we decided that I would stay home with Jack, I immediately thought of all the things I would have the time to teach him, things to do with him, enjoying every minute. I came across this list that I started during our decision-making process. Though it is not all inclusive, it's a start. And so much better than my previous to-do lists (they never seemed to have enough Jack or Pete in them, and I never felt okay with that).
