Some of my favorite words lately are “me book” as Olivine discovers the enjoyment in books. She is reading aloud from the pictures, learning her colors, using expression in her speech, and watching each of my children read is a gift.
Then there is the writing. I can’t get enough of it. Paul was pretending to be a scientist making observations on some roly polies out back. This is what he recorded:Plus the play. These days there is lots of role playing. Henry likes to use one of my old purses and go shopping. Grammy painted his nails this weekend.

I don’t always realize the opportunities my children provide into seeing their inner thoughts and continuing growth that is up close and changing before my eyes.
