As a karate kid herself, Laura is forever hearing references to the Karate Kid movie. She finally decided she needed to see it so she could understand. It was surprisingly meaningful to me to watch that with her. I guess it was deeper ingrained in my youth than I realized. I loved her comments about their big hair, funny clothes styles, and the music.
And Adam has finally caught the Harry Potter bug! I had tried to read it to him a couple years ago, but he just wasn't into it so I didn't push. But earlier this year he came home super excited to try again, this time reading it on his own. He has finished the first book and is almost done with the second. We both agree that he'll probably take a break after this one since the third book is darker and more complicated. But it has been so fun to get back into the characters and see his interest and excitement grow. And we watched the first movie after he finished the book. Laura and I were such willing co-watchers!
