And we decided that it was time to ditch the booster seat.  You are old enough, and most certainly tall enough.  Also, because you are so tall, the booster seat was cutting off the supply to your legs and you would always complain of "sleepy feet".  There has been a drastic reduction of aforementioned somnambulant feet since then.
August 14 Week 523
Here's a shot that needed to be up here. Helping Mom with making the beds. Something you have been helping me with for a long time now. You're a good kid :)

And here's some Kinecting and some VR'ing of a Moana/Disney game thingy. :) Kids and their technology these days.  Don't worry, I don't let you use the VR more than about 10 minutes at a time, and even then, just occasionally. ( i.e. you've done it like 3 times in 6 months, lol )
