Maybe you've read those two little words on Facebook, alongside a birthday photo of your friend's son or daughter.
Maybe you've thought those same words about your own children.

What would you do if I came over with my camera for the afternoon?
Maybe you’d cozy up and read on the couch with your youngest. Maybe you’d bake something special with your oldest. Maybe you’d build a fort from start to finish with your kids – or try, until they took over to get everything just so.
