Update for Nut Brown's birthday. His birthday was awhile ago, and it wasn't until the end of September that I managed the birthday party he wanted - a trip to Main Event with all you can play laser tag and climbing walls. He brought his best friend and the friend's dad and the rest of us, and we climbed, laser tagged, and mini golfed. Next time we're getting all-you-can-play arcade games!
This week we had blinds installed in the house. The installer commented on the fact that all our kids were laying around reading books. He said it had been a long time since he'd seen a kid just reading, not on a device. Mr. Brown told him all about our philosophy of no devices. He was impressed that Mr. Brown also doesn't have a cell phone.
Last week I watched Bobo cleaning the living room. He was moving the couches so he could sweep underneath them, and encouraging Rosebud to climb up and ride on them - they were playing a game as he cleaned. It was so sweet to see.

Ours get that comment while we're waiting at doctor's offices. Our allergist told the person shadowing, "Oh, this is the kid that's always reading a big book each time they come."
