What did you do with your evening? I finally did something that I have put off far too many times out of necessity. I listened to the requests of my son and put aside everything else for the night to help him add on to his tree house. We had fun climbing around in the old maple tree in our back yard, lashing pieces of recycled lumber and wooden pallets together in the tree to strengthen a top floor and put some safety features in place around the platform hanging ten plus feet above the ground. We keep a supply of lumber around, recycled from other projects, to add to his tree house when we have time. The tree house hasn't grown much this summer, but his smile sure grew bigger every time we added another board.
As for Katie, she watched for a bit. She even spent some time up in the tree house with us, but the mosquitoes chased her inside pretty quickly. She had a pretty good night - eating, playing, watching movies while climbing all over the couch, and just plain using her little body and enjoying herself. She seemed happy.
