Well I think they're officially here. They probably began a while ago. The Headphone Years.
The time when we'll find our kids with headphones on as often as not. When they somehow hear the things we don't want them to hear, but tune out when we're actually talking to them when they've got headphones on. Reed logs a lot of time like this with his headphones on (well, technically these are Amy's headphones since Reed's broken a couple of sets and we've told him he's got to buy his own replacements), laughing out loud, maybe playing basketball, maybe just walking around the house. Amy tends to use her headphones more when she's drawing, she hasn't yet taken to wearing them as frequently as Reed does.
I can't blame them, though....if there'd been such a thing as iPods when I was their age, I probably never would've been without headphones, tuned in to my own little world!
