I have an awesome kid named Oscar. He spends half his time with me, and half of it with his dad, step mom, and 2 little brothers. We're all as communicative as can be, but I still felt like I was missing too much. So, on his 9th birthday, we started this experiment.

Every day we each wrote down the best thing that happened to us, on opposing pages of the same book.

Sometimes we captured our best moments together, sometimes we got a stolen glimpse into what happened when we're apart. Either way, I learned just as much about what makes me happy as I was intending to learn about him.
