I knew I was in trouble when we decided to let our toddler come house hunting with us. We were toying with the Great Urban Dweller Sacrifice also known as “moving to the ‘burbs” because a second baby’s arrival was imminent.

He found a stick, held it triumphantly aloft and began exploring, reporting back with excited chatter.
