Reading Together

When the kids' happy but very energetic playing got to be much too loud for Mommy's aching head, she determined that some quiet read time on the couch was in order. They both cheerfully got some books and climbed onto the couches, although Peter switched from the big one to the small one when he saw Hannah had situated herself on the small one. Why? Because what followed was a blissful 20+ minutes of little but "Where's the flag? Good. Where's the soccer net? No, that's the basketball hoop. There's the soccer net. Where's the seesaw? . . . " as Hannah kindly obliged Peter's desire to read Little People's Around Town picture book.

The older "reading" to the younger. Ahhh, what sweet joy.
