A three point Eaglet update:

The cycle of homeschooling is settling down (we get online learning from their school some time next week) though stir-crazy from lack of recess with friends is still … a challenge. In assistance towards this, Grandma sent an early birthday present: a trampoline. I need to assemble it Real Soon Now.

I don't know what catnip the makers of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl put in the mix, but it is totally Eaglet's kind of catnip. Last week, they watched it every single day (sometimes the Good Parts version, which is by fast-forwarding 18 minutes in, to when the title characters show up in Max's classroom). This week, they've watched it only twice, as they have discovered by association the Spy Kids franchise.

Eaglet is something of a reluctant reader, but we've found their reading catnip: they've been borrowing as often as possible mom's tablet for playing a visual novel with a high school setting -- I don't think it's officially a dating sim but a genre very close to one. (We haven't figured out how to load it onto their own tablet.)

Trampoline! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!

[larryhammer]

That's what we're hoping for -- lots and lots of bounce. Tire yourself out, kiddo, so you'll sleep better in these stressful times.

I don't have anything terribly helpful to say, but I hope that everything works out for both of you + the Eaglet.

Thanks. We're trying ...
