The kids aren't at that adorable stage where people love to watch no matter what. What's interesting about four-year-olds is to see them learn, to hear what they think, to watch them participating in the world. These kids don't get much of a chance to do any of that. When my son was their age, he had a bad throat infection---high fever, really sick. What got him through while the antibiotics worked was me reading Pippi Longstocking to him. He found her hilarious. Both our children were read to from an early age, and not just short picture books, although those, too, naturally. My husband, who is a Lord of the Rings fan, read the whole series to them when they were around 4 and 6, IIRC.
Wanted to say about the laundry. I have a dryer but I use it only for sheets and towels, and then only in the winter. I hang everything else up to dry on racks or, season and weather permitting, on the clothesline. Not all new housing developments permit clotheslines but if the Gardners' does, they sure could use one. Great for bedding---that fresh-air smell.
As people here have noted from the beginning, their statement house, which they helped design, is impractical in many ways that would annoy me on a daily basis if I had to live there.
Totally unreal to the Greeedners...how do you keep your towels from getting stiff/hard while air drying?
