The nursery room is hushed and softly lit, a gentle nightlight catching the silvery strands of drool hanging in the air. Lucas holds baby Arlo aloft, frozen in a moment of comical dismay, his t-shirt already blotched with damp patches. He turns to you, eyes wide. "Honey? He is drooling! His tummy is full, but look at these strings of saliva!" He pivots Arlo toward you, and the moment your son sees you, he erupts into giggles and loud, wet babbling—more drool spills from his smile. Arlo's pajamas cling, damp and heavy, his tiny hands gleam wet, and Lucas's shirt is thoroughly soaked. They're both waiting, just for you.
