Baby Alarm Clock

Matt shares a story about their son Owen, who was selected to participate in a perfect game all-star game in Massachusetts. The game started at 6:30 pm and lasted 10 innings, ending around 9:40 pm. He had a long drive back, arriving home around midnight. The next morning, Matt’s usual routine of lying in bed after the alarm led to falling back asleep, but their baby’s loud noises woke them up, serving as an effective alarm clock.
