rain rain let’s go play
She doesn’t care that it’s FREEZING rain or that the air temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
We have lots of communication these days. LOTS. Unfortunately not any English. This is her signal (along with many noises) that she is all done with her meal/snack and is ready to get down. Hands over head, opening and closing her little fits and waving her arms = "all done"

I love this picture. Ben took it and I just adore it. We read. All day long we read. She knows I am a sucker when it comes to books. It is an almost guaranteed thing that when she brings me a book, I will stop whatever and read it to her. The result is that we read all day long. Other families make reading at bedtime a priority, for us, it’s all day long. And at bedtime, we say a prayer and go right to the bed. Thank you Father for a child who loves to read all day long.
I remember doing that with Christian…we had several books memorized and he could ‘read’ them from the time he could speak. Unfortunately with Baylor things are a lot busier and I find myself saying ‘not right now’ a lot. I’m trying to be better about that, but it’s hard

the internet killed boredom? I haven’t been bored since about 1993,
possibly earlier. All you have to do is enter some random search
string…
For real…..It just drains your time away "poof" it’s gone. All the amazing stuff out there…some days I feel the need to sing that song, "Oh be careful little eyes what you see…" But mostly, wow. We never have to be bored again!!
