We're reading Little House In The Big Woods again. This is the third - or maybe fourth? - time through with the kids. Tonight's chapter was about Laura's first trip to town, where she was overwhelmed by all the houses and all the things in the store.
I asked the kids what it would be like to always be at your house, with only your family around you, and a lot of chores even for little kids, and just a few simple toys to play with. I suggested it would be pretty different from the life we know. Vincent added "Diffuhwent and bohwing."
Funny to hear him say, but I hope it's one step closer to understanding how fortunate we are to live in this time and place and circumstance.

I would bet that Laura didn't have time to be bored. Very hard to imagine after experiencing what we do on a daily basis.
PS - Happy Mother's day!
