As summer kicked off I had grand plans of "reading time" every day. However, I found us out and about more often then home. Some days we did have sweet moments, all cuddled on the couch reading together. This past week we picked up where we had left off...
Let's just say there was a little extra "encouragement" to keep all three girls at the table after they had finished their lunch, so they could continue listening intently.
It was contagious too. Later that day Sophie and Haleigh were very content to just "be" on the couch reading and listening while they waited for Daddy to arrive home. (And no chocolate pie was needed ;)
One area of our literary goals where we have been more successful was listening to audio books. During cleaning times the girls have intently listened to Understood Betsy (during a car trip to WV,) American Girl's Kit Series, Little House on the Prairie, some Encyclopedia Brown, and lots of Odyssey. A trip to the library is scheduled for Friday to pick up a new batch of audio books for the rest of our July travels! (So thankful for my personal librarian to keep me on track with good books!)
