A Reader


I love books, I LOVE to read. I have been waiting and waiting for Jack to enjoy a good storybook, but he never really has. At every attempt, he either left the room or said simply, "NO".
Well, last night all four of us snuggled in the big bed before sending the boys off to their own beds. I wanted to read Adrian the prologue of the "me time" book I've started, Thomas Harris' Hannibal Rising.
I began to read aloud and Jack made a little nest next to me. I continued to read......for an hour. Daddy and Kane left the room shortly after I began but Jack wanted to stay. He watched me read while repeating words he knew along the way. It took everything for me to hold in my tears, he was SO interested and listened closely to each sound I made.
Today, I am celebrating this progress! Love you, Jack!
