A Rare Indoor Moment

This is blog worthy, not only because it's a cute photo of these two, but mainly because seeing them inside has been a rare sight the last few days. With the gorgeous weather here all they want to do is be outside! So, when I went upstairs to get something and found them on our bed reading (Emma's trying though I have a feeling her reading is still a ways off yet) I couldn't help but slowly back out of the room and make a dash for my phone. I'm sure this is only the beginning of many more moments like this but I'm so glad that I was able to capture this "first"! 

Wordless Wednesday:: Our Reader

Grace And Emma Meet Dick And Jane

Last night we introduced Grace (and Emma too, of course) to Dick and Jane. 

The girls loved hearing that their grandparents learned to read from Dick and Jane books too!

She has yet to put this book down!

While Grace was at her book club meeting at the library this morning, Em and I found some more Dick and Jane books. She sat down,opened one up and asked me to help her read it. It was sweet how she would repeat each sentence that I said and point to each word as she went along. And while she's a ways off from reading yet (she's still working on learning her letters) it was a sweet beginning nonetheless. I'm so glad that these classic readers are still around and I am so very glad that the girls are able to learn from them (as so many kids who came before them did)!
