My Reading Babes

On several occasions in the last few weeks I've been doing something in another area of the house (usually the kitchen), and noticed that the kids were being unusually quiet.  Normally this would mean that they were getting into something they weren't supposed to.  But, to my joy and surprise, I've been walking out into the living room to find scenes like this.

Kaelyn was "reading" to Brenden. So sweet!

One afternoon B woke up early from his afternoon nap.  I let him play by himself and he discovered this book - he LOVES it.  He will sit and look at it for 15-20 minutes, just flipping the pages back and forth. 

I don't mind if they pull all the books off the shelves and make a big mess, if then they sit and read the books for awhile! Notice K's bib - she didn't want to take it off after dinner. :) I love that already, at such a young age, my kids are interested in and delighted by books.  I love that I can get a few minutes of quiet time to work on something uninterrupted because they are "reading".  And I love that they are doing it together.

 I love that Bren's book is upside down!
