The Scholar

The only thing more fun than toys & kid's books are someone else's toys & books. When we were in California, Matthew sat at Ali Hazelwood's table and looked through all of her books (and played with her kitchen set).

The Distracted Listener

Ever tried to hold the interest of a two year old? Watch as Matthew's wandering little mind turns into raptured attention towards Auntie Kim's necklace.

Reading Time

Matthew loves to grab a book, carry it over, and crawl into our lap. Only a child could be so demanding and endearing at the same time!

Bedtime Stories

Matthew routinely selects a book for us to read to him. He walks over, hands the book to us, then climbs into our lap. How can you say no to that?

Happy National Reading Week!

I volunteered to read to 1st & 2nd graders in uniform today for National Reading Week. Since it's a rarity that I'm in uniform, Terri wouldn't let me out of the house without a picture first.
