So Excited!

I tried a few months ago to start reading to the girls (or just Melia) from the Magician's Nephew (one of the books of Narnia, technically the one CS Lewis says is first...) but she really didn't get into it. I think we maybe did three chapters? Not much, so I didn't force it.

This last week, we started again into The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Three times we have done two chapters in one sitting, and a couple other singles. She is seeming to enjoy it, asking questions and such. Kiera, well, she sits quiet with us, playing or snacking, which is plenty for me to ask at this point.

But the best part is that tonight, on the way home from Gramps' house, at almost 9 pm (late for them!) Melia requested that we read from our story tonight when we got home! I could not possibly refuse, but of course did only one chapter :-) I was just so thrilled that she remembered and wanted to read more!

Another plus is that I was hoping to be able to do this while nursing so the girls don't feel "ignored" or be frustrated that the baby gets more attention. Thank you Lord!
