Read Alouds

As usual, before bed this evening our house was filled with a little boogying in "The Dance Party Room", a few twirls and flips from Charlie as he practices his indoor gymnastics, a few coos from Bess and narrations of an assortment of books by Wylie! It gets pretty lively around here after baths! Bubba has been working so hard on dance moves with the babies! Hence the need for the Dance Party Room!


Tonight, during Wylie's narration of the book The Parable of the Lily Bubba and I cracked up. This is the man who appears on every page of the book. Wylie points to him on every page and says " Doooooo Dad" . That is what all the grandkids on the Rutland side call my dad! I have never thought of this as looking like my dad- but hey, we will roll with it!


Striking resemblance to Dooooo Dad- don't ya think?



This is an action shot. Note the puckered lips. Wylie is saying "Doooooo Dad"



Melt my heart!

Sister Smiles!


Charlie felt a need to get in on the action! This was totally unplanned too!! Honest!


So... you may ask yourself, what was good ol' Charlie doing during our read aloud?


Exhibit 1: Flower Petals as Sunglasses! (Not disturbing at all during the read aloud!)
Exhibit 2: The Only Place To Sit ... apparently!
I can already picture the teacher comments on report cards. Wylie is such a good reader. She really enjoys school. Charlie has a hard time staying in his seat and focusing on the task!
But I wouldn't trade em' for a million buckaroos!
