So this is a first for my blogging...taking a picture with the only intent of putting it in a blog. As you can see the kids really cooperated with this idea at first.The reason I took the picture is that we have reached a really cool milestone around here. Katie has become a really good reader and has to read at least 15minutes a day for school. We go to the library almost every week and one of the series that Christian and Katie really love right now is the Magic Tree House books. Not wanting to wait for me to read every night (and she doesn't like me to repeat what she has already read for Christian) she has started to read to him so she can read all the time. There was a time that Christian would not have gone for Katie to do this. However, she reads with a lot of expression now and it is fun to hear her. So she was reading and Christian was curled up next to her listening to her read. Very cute. Very fun. More like this picture below once I got them to ignore the camera.
Here is a funny video about mothering that a friend forwarded to me. It is really quite good and since I am not big on forwarding, I thought I would put it here. I hope it at least brings a smile to your face.

That's really cool that Katie is becoming such a good reader. Even nicer when the older child can help the younger one with their homework so you don't have to. he he.
Moura likes the Magic Treehouse books too. We have been reading Judy Moody Books at night now.
Very funny video! Thanks for the link
Christian hates it when Katie tries to help her. That is partly because she thinks he can't do anything on his own. When we are buckling up in the car she is always trying to help since he is a little slower. Today she annouced "He is buckled now". I responded, "You know that Christian does it all by himself when you aren't here don't you? I haven't helped him for really long time." She grined sheepishly and said "oh". Part of reason he needed an IEP is because she would always talk and do everything for him. As soon as she went to Kindegarten he started to talk more. Pretty funny.
Glad you liked the video. Apparently it got pulled from YouTub for copyright issues.
