This will be a great way to layer in some new books for my oldest this summer.LKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184541280285002020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-4973560288907633402015-07-23T08:31:49.384-04:002015-07-23T08:31:49.384-04:00Yes!

I've noticed we're all feeling unsettled and always sort of "searching' instead of engaging. Though I'm excited for our next little adventure I'm already looking forward to returning home and settling in before school begins again. You have eased my heart.

Side note: I was a fifth grade teacher before staying home with my kids. I used to tell this to the parents regarding reading. Start the book by reading aloud with them. It almost always worked and got my students reading good literature rather than the junk they were drawn too. The parents always admitted they never thought of reading aloud to their big kids but were glad they did.

It makes them even more special seeing our grand boy play with the SAME "guys" his daddy played with. Keep them....you will be so glad you did down the road.<br />Oh, could you do an update on Janey? Miss hearing about her and seeing her picture.<br />Have a blessed day,<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889664131108121532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-82521396846237999402015-07-22T03:46:45.614-04:002015-07-22T03:46:45.614-04:00Great post, and I love the quiet day rule.
