Every once in a while as I'm working about the house I see something that makes my heart sing. My busy little 2 year old boy being read to by one (or both of) his older sisters who are 7 and 5. It paints the sweetest picture. He sits there snuggled up close listening contentedly as they read away. When my oldest first started to read and was fluent enough that she could read simple stories out loud I began to encourage her to read to her younger sister. It didn't take much and before long it was a common thing. I can hardly believe that only a few years later and now they are BOTH reading to their younger brother.
What a blessing to have books to read, a comfy couch to snuggle up on, eyes that can see, books to hold and the ability to read. I am so incredibly grateful! I love the sound of their voices and the sight of the togetherness they share over the love of books.
