The day started in L’s room. The Boy loves being with his big sister, and she’s matured to the point that we know she’s not going to do anything crazy — too crazy — with the Boy, so I left them upstairs to their own devices while I finished some grading, but the laughter and sounds of an impending mess drew me up the stairs.

Of course the kitten had her own entertainment. The Girl talked the family into a cat tower: that term doesn’t do it any justice at all. What we have, in fact, is a sort of feline Burj Khalifa. But she likes it, and the Girl likes that fact, and today, they were both thoroughly entertained,

though for different reasons.

We ended the morning, the Boy down for his nap, with the Girl recording a story. For whom? For you, of course.

But I never took the time today to transfer it from camera, so perhaps tomorrow?
