We are trying a new nighttime chore regime, where kids work together every night on dishes, sweeping and wiping down table. When it work (which it does most of the time) it’s a pretty wonderful feeling for everyone.

Congratulations, Lewis!!!

8-year-old Lewis just finished the TWELFTH and final book in the series How to Train Your Dragon. It’s just so amazing to me, so proud of him for reading so many thousands of pages and feeling the big feelings books can give you. Congratulations little boy! And even better, he did it all with this wonderful bookmark.
