Tony,
I can definately relate to the lack of sleep deal, however I am ex-navy and I guess conditioned to 1am and 3am wake ups. At 1 year and 5 months old my son is now sleeping a solid 13hrs per night and for me the free time is what it was all about. Now it's all coming back, I now include my son in my free time activities. We hike together (kiddie backpack) and when we need a break from the ranch we shoot into town and cruise the aisles of the grocery store, not buying anything. Shopping with a toddler is so much easier when you don't buy anything, don't have to checkout and just have some kid fun.
So my vote goes for free time which I am now getting reaquainted with.
Free time makes a comeback
