I feel the same, Liz. It's so absolutely rewarding seeing these
children become adult, think their own thoughts and start to make
good (as opposed to completely appalling) jokes. Both my oldest kids
like writing, which is unsurprising I guess in our house, and I'd be
happy if they never lost that, partly because it's such a pleasure to
see what they come up with. They're beginning to learn things I
never knew, and they're full of surprises. Most of the time it's
enormous fun.
