Who has ever woken up to a huge mess in their kids room!?! ME. THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE! Normally I am not too happy about it and the kids spend the morning cleaning it up. Now if they wake up and they are playing in their room, totally fine. My kiddos, however, were sound asleep when I saw that a hurricane must have swept through their room.
After we woke them up I just calmly said "boys, what happened in here?" Lynn said "Oh mom, Stephen made the book mess because he was trying to find The BFG." Most any other book would have made me say, "alright boys, clean it up before you can do anything else." But nope, this book is special right now.
Ever since my husband's brain surgeries he has been reading chapter books to our boys every night. This may seem like not such a big deal, but to us it is! It has been a huge part of his recovery. Reading does not come easy for him, and this has been such a fun activity that the boys absolutely cherish with their dad! Not only does it serve a purpose for David, these boys have been able to lay down and relish in the words from each page, letting their imaginations run wild! We got the Roald Dahl book collection from Costco and have been going through it one book at a time. Each time they start a new book, David writes the date on the inside of the cover. Whenever they finish he then writes the date they finished. The boys have LOVED this special time with daddy each night!! I love that they are into chapter books at such a young age too!! Major mommy excitement over here!! WOOT WOOT! |
