Not too long ago, while cleaning out Max's school folder, I noticed a clover with the words..."read my sister a story". I asked him what this was and he said that is something special he wanted to do. So, a couple of weeks ago, after baths, he chose to read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to her. He loves this book and since he can't really read yet, this was a good one to do as he knows it by heart! She was so excited to be included in this because normally we do their bedtime stories separate. But, after the other night, maybe we'll do more together.She just beams when she is around him. She has always been this way. From infancy, she would turn toward his voice when he would walk into a room. In fact, I think he was the first person she did that with. And he adores her. He may act like she is his annoying little sister (and I am sure that won't end anytime soon), but at the same time, he is so protective of her. It is a sweet and special bond that makes my heart explode with pride!

Oh Allison...that brought tears to my eyes! How sweet!!
Aw!! My heart just melted!
How very lovely! Wonderful memory to keep.
Adorable! I remember those days with my older kids. Now days, the Little Imp enjoys to "pretend" to read to her daddy and I...although she's getting so close to be able to read on her own, it won't be long before she's actually reading to use...for real.
Awww Allison that is just the cutest, they look so sweet reading together, long may it continue :)
