Another from Eve. While laying in bed tonight, Eve asked me when I was in college. I forget exactly what we were talking about that led to that question. I told her I graduated in 1999. She said, “Wow! That was centuries ago!” I corrected her that it was just one century ago, but somehow that didn’t make me feel much better. :/ Nothing like kids to make you feel old!
Eve had a dozen things she wanted from me this afternoon, all at the same time! While I was working on the fancy manicures she wanted, she started asking me to read to her. I told her several times that we can read after I finish with the nails, but that wasn’t good enough. Suddenly she said, “Oh! I want to read a fairy book and I can!” She ran, got herself a book (a chapter book!), came back and started reading. She’s been reading it ever since. I LOVE that!
