Oh yes, I have read them all. In fact, my youngest is Jamie after him.
I have long been fervent that both Maggie and Jamie will learn to knit. And cook and bake.
And do various boy things, too, although I'm not as sure what those should be. Basics of car maintenance, sure, although that's a long time off.
I have noticed that boys tend to get a lot of encouragement in hobbies - things like model trains, or lego building, or rocketry, or such. I keep hearing about boys getting opportunities and encouragement I never would have. (I had one set of legos as a child. They were all the same size and shape, about the length of my hand. You could build... a wall, basically.) I want to find ways to give all my kids that kind of chance and encouragement, but never having seen it done I'm not quite sure how, and concerned I'd miss opportunities.
