So, while the demolition next door continues to rattle our brains, we are building an ancient aquarium, of sorts. Most boys like dinos, I understand that, but my boys like dinosaurs' tiny, underwater counterparts. Bright reads everything, and I do mean everything, and then teaches all of us about what he reads; then we build replicas.

On a side note, can you tell that this is Bright's favorite shirt these days? I am letting him dress himself now, and since we rarely leave our address, it doesn't much matter what he wears. I told him the other day that we should try to match our tops with our bottoms, if possible. He asked why. I said that it's important to look like we care about ourselves. He said, "M
