What I Could Really Use

An artist. In a box. That performs on demand.

In lieu of that, I’ll accept an artist that will work with me at reasonable rates on the understanding that he or she will be my “go-to” person. When I need art, they will be my first call.

Writing a Book

I sometimes find it difficult to find indoor activities to do with the kids that we all enjoy. Perhaps it’s terrible to say, but while I enjoy the happiness it brings, I do not enjoy endlessly reading Dr. Seuss books and their ilk. I thought that maybe when they got older I would be able to read more “story”-like stories, and that they would enjoy them. So far, there hasn’t been much luck with that.

I did try to read Coraline to Abby. The first few chapters went ok, but then she lost interest. I suspect that she wasn’t quite old enough for the book, although I don’t think that was the deterrent, since she seemed quite interested up until the point she lost interest.

Barring the book reading, both the kids and I like to play games; Though, Abby needs to learn to read on her own before we can play any of the really interesting games. I suppose that Mastermind, Connect Four, and chess aren’t out of the question, although they seem a bit advanced.

Last night as Berta was putting Riley to bed, Abby and I sat down with a notebook and a pen, and she dictated a story. This really might be something that we can do together.
