Levi: "daddy don't be rude to Lily."

Kyle: "I'm just telling her no."

Levi: "but she's my sister."

May have welled up at the protectiveness of my not-even-three year old...

Proud moment

My sweet Adam finished his first chapter book. It was 220 pages. He's 6. I'm pretty proud of him. Kyle isn't much for a reader, so I've always worried that my kids are gonna be little athletes who don't care for reading. I'm very happy to be wrong! I went right out and bought the second book in the series. I don't care that its an expensive habit; It's one worth having. I'm so excited that the library is around the corner from our house. Can't wait to walk there and pick new books out in the summer. My children are gonna be educated! Hallelujah!

Update: bought Adam #2 of the series and he's read 104 pages in 3 days. Looks like I'll be buying a book a week. A very expensive habit indeed. And I'm kind of jealous. I want a new book every week!
