This evening Amy and Ethan went off together to Boston to see a show; Lydia and I stayed home. While sitting on the couch together reading, I had to field a number of questions from her, including "What is arthritis?" and "What does it mean to 'wind a watch'?". The second one left me feeling pretty old and decrepit, I have to say (possibly even more so than the bruises on my feet from this morning's soccer game).
We had a good time reading to each other, however; we took turns reading passages from "Wildwood" by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis. It is an engaging book to read aloud; it's also nice to read a kids book that has a strong female lead character, to boot.
