Another thing I never expected was the change coming to America could make to the eldest, Goth Child.
One of the things we've been doing every day is going for a walk to our nearest park. It's less than 5 minutes walk away and isn't that exciting, it's just a large semi-green field that's clearly been popped into our estate for dog-walkers and joggers. But it's the only thing we can easily walk to, so it's been pretty useful to get the kids out of the house once a day.
The amazing thing for any of you who've met Goth Child, is that she doesn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming from her darkened room for a walk!
Even more astounding is that she and the youngest, Melchett, have started their own 'training regime' on the walk. They run, they jump, they do warm-up and cool-down stretches....I'm really not sure what's going on, but I'm not knocking it. I don't recall seeing Goth Child this excited about being active in years. The Arizona air must affect near-teenager molecules or something. We'll see how long it lasts...
