Truly appreciate the kind comments! The more I look back on that time the more I realize how amazing that space was for us. It was sort of neccesity at the time as there were few rentals available. The Cave was in a house and the upstairs was a business so there was no one there at night. I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Science of Parenting if you are a new parent. It really reinforced the way I parent and the long lasting impacts our actions have on kids as they become adults. The book will also help you understand your own upbringing.
