I bought a downloadable resource from the same place I got Big Life Journal, to help people learn how to work through their own goal-setting and habit-forming. These are good pages to reach for to gain the skills to manage one’s own time.

Claudia had finally gotten bored with Sims, especially since her friend can’t be here to sit and play with her. But today I suggested that she build a basic Season One Shameless cast and see what she could make happen.

She was yelling to me about all six children’s eye colors — which, somehow, I knew perfectly.

She couldn’t get Frank as haggard as she’d have liked, but this can be managed in play.

And funniest of all — she started building a row of Council housing.

It will be interesting to see where this goes.
