We open the show talking about how things have changed since the early days of the podcast, but oh how they remain the same. Caitlin and Laura talks about how their second kiddos insist on leaving the room when they are up. Laura had a Netflix setting snafu that allowed Charlie to watch something inappropriate, if fairly innocent. Caitlin is working on transitions, and Laura is working on staying out of it.
