nothing like a good book under the tree in the front yard when the weather is perfect! i am continuously amazed at how jada learns...there's this switch that just flips on some days and she "gets" new stuff. she is finally able to sit and really look at a book...by herself! and she's sooooo stinking cute! and you can even tell, she's absolutely loving it! and being a big sister means being a role model too...guess what sofia did as soon as jada put down the book?? my dad used to say when i was younger that i {meaning me or you, for that matter} might be the bible some people would ever read...so be careful what you say and do and how you act. you and me, we are an open book, an example...big sister or not! i see that in my kids these days...and i still see it in me. so i guess i'm hoping my open book is a good read. do i always make good choices that lead to good examples...nope. i'm working on that every day. i just hope that i show and give enough ...
