reading party

recently micah decided he wanted to read the bedtime book to me, instead of me reading it to him. up until that moment he'd been reluctant to let on that he could read, always saying that 'jonas is the reader'. i was so happy for him, and shared that excitement with him, saying 'you read the whole book!' he took it from there, and he and jonas started planning a party. who can argue with celebrating reading? so we had a party.

soon after waking up, micah and eli reading 'going on a bear hunt'

our wonderful neighbors, reading 'one fish, two fish'

grace and micah
