My charge is about to be two-years-old! His party preparations have been going on since January but in this last few days before the big event a strange calm has settled over the house. There could be many factors that are making this possible. My best bets for the top five are as follows in no particular order:

1. I have recently doubled my medication

2. If we all stay very still and quiet she will not notice us

3. The color-coded day-of-party assignment lists provided to friends and family is easing tension – it is always a plus to know what is expected of you

4. I have reached a new zen level and will remain stress-free forevermore

5. It is simply the calm before the storm

No matter the reason (I assume it is 2 but hoping for 4) – I am going to enjoy it while I can!
