We may still have the assistance of my in-laws on the 6th, and if so, this would not be an issue. If they are not able to stay past this Saturday (which right now is unknown), then I may have to deal with daycare/getting my daughter in bed, etc. b/c my wife is of course unable to do any of that. Thanks for your understanding and hopefully my wife's parents will still be here.
