We went to a drive-in (not drive-thru) restaurant for dinner and then to a big bookstore. Tommy was better behaved than Noah and Amy. Tommy even tried to help Amy calm down “look at the book Amy”. I said no to the thirty dollar D&D book but agreed to yet another Brian Jacques book if he would also read “Life of Pi”. He crinkled his nose as he usually does when I suggest a book but maybe he’ll read it. If not it’ll just get passed down for the other children to read. Now Tommy is locked in the bathroom reading. I know he likes the cool bathroom air and the small room but we really have too many people in this house for him to take over the bathroom for hours.
