As a new Grandma, it's going to be hard if you're in Washington and the new baby is going to be so far away–
SP: We've always had very flexible schedules –
TP: Very flexible schedules –
SP: – and probably quite unconventional, but it's always worked and our family and our faith and those things that we so believe in comes first and we've always made this all work.
TP: And Uncle Trig [Sarah's and Todd's 6-month-old son] needs a little buddy to play with.
SP: (sing-songy) That's right! Trig does.

We've gotten so many questions from people who saw Trig at the convention and the debate and worry about his bedtime.
SP: If you notice in those evening debates he's usually sound asleep in all of our arms and he manages to sleep and eat like any other baby needs to, on their own schedule.
TP: He's a good Alaskan kid.
SP: He is an Alaskan kid. He's already tough and you can already tell he enjoys being outdoors also. Man, that's when he wakes up; he just enjoys it. He's perfect.

And he's got more frequent-flier miles now than–
SP: And he's got more arms to hold him and feed him than any child could ever hope for. He's got a lot of love.

STAFF: We've got to go.

Do you miss him, though, as his Mom?
SP: Well, he's just a couple of floors above me right now, so thankfully he's there with me. When you guys aren't looking at me, Trig is with me. Thankfully, it all works.
