We just got home from a family reunion where nearly 40 of my husband’s relatives gathered in a small oceanside village on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, to spend a week beaching, drinking, and eating together. Many of us had young kids around the same age, the older of which occupied themselves running around our rental houses, while the toddlers wove their way between the adults’ legs searching for and then running away from their parents.
