Now that Zach is getting better and better at reading, I've started suggesting he read to his sister. Especially when I see that they are fighting over having the same book. I haven't seen them both agree to this little suggestion until this morning. They were both fighting over the Five Green Speckled Frogs book and when I suggested Zach read it to Hailey, they both thought that was a fabulous idea! So they settled down next to each other on the couch and Hailey sat with riveted attention as her brother read/sang her the book.
It was so darling to see the two of them reading the book together. For once, it was something that satisfied them both and I didn't have to keep yelling or read myself (which is normally not a bad thing, but I was in the middle of doing the breakfast dishes when the arguments started).
I have to admit that I'm looking forward to this happening a little bit more now that Zach is really coming along with his reading skills. Hopefully they'll both be a little more willing to do it now that they know that they both enjoy it!

This is so cute! Having my son read to a younger sibling is something I've been looking forward to lately (even though we don't have another sibling on the way yet).
I remember reading books to my little brother often at bedtime and it was something really special that we shared together... I'm sure Zachary & Hailey will treasure it too!
Too cute. Love the picture of the two little ones reading. Also how fun to play in the snow! I told them they had to make a snow angel and take a picture. Looks like you read my mind (and I think they both forgot as well!!)
okay.... lots to say, but first of all!... CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you and number three. Fantastic news. Love the snow pictures. I should send Olivia down to play so she has someone to play in the snow with. Your kids are cute!
