John, I’m 73. I’m waiting until the tech life blows over too. But in the meantime, my iPhone has a cover, I use the cloud, and don’t bother with “Siri”. Again, I’m 73 and come from the days of rotary phones and no seat belts. Get with it all now before you get entrenched in the crotchity. Get a good child proof case, join the cloud and listen to Tara. She understands the assignment. And give her the yellow tile.

When renovating my kitchen, I remember sending the children upstairs for a bath, forgetting the dishes were in the bath!

Genuinely not saying this for the sake of following other comments but I absolutely get that a splash of yellow would be stunning..whether on a tiny tile or a piece of art.

I love how relaxed you guys are as parents. I am afraid I was a bit of a helicopter mom; running around trying to keep my daughter out of harms way. It was hard for me to relax enough to let her explore on her own…. I also love how much the Portuguese love kids and seemingly have them involved with everything. Seeing Crusoe and Sawyer picking grapes (and eating them of course) and riding in the diggers, running around in bare feet, and helping you do all sorts of things is sooo much fun. I am sure you have exasperated moments but I don’t know how you get things done with those two active explorers!

John, take it from a woodworker - seal the insides of your drawers and cabinets with polyurethane. The raw wood absorbs humidity from the unfinished side. It will eventually warp your panels. Just a pro tip.
