We have a 16 year old Danish exchange student living with us right now. My 10 year old daughter loves it! She thinks it’s great to have another kid around the house. Definitely an adjustment from having just one child to keep on top of all the school events, homework, keep happy, etc. For us it’s a view into what teens are like, high school, etc. It’s also been interesting for my husband to realize some of the qualities he takes for granted in our own daughter.

When i search with the top box to see if the goal already exists and get some matches, but not what I’m looking for, it should be easy for me to add a goal. Right now it seems I need to go back to my list or some other screen to find the ui for it.
The seattle online library system is great! Take their selection, the reviews and recommendations from amazon, and the libraries service of “deliver to my local library and send me an email” and you’re set! I’ve stopped buying books that I really want to read but will never pick up again when I’m done. Also great if you have picky kids that buy a book and start to read it and decide it’s too boring, or full of too many adjectives :) or whatever.
