Today James woke up just before I was about to finish up dinner, which meant there was a good chance he'd be grumpy and want my full attention. However, Everett was so happy to see his littlest brother that he sat right down with James and read to him.
Then they played blocks and a few other things. James wasn't grumpy at all, and all the kids were busy playing happily together. It was a dream. Usually the kids do some form of the above activities together, but today was more unusual in that everyone maintained high spirits.
These pictures were taken another day, but I am posting them anyway. No matter how many times it happens, I never get tired of seeing my seven-year-old-reading to his little brothers. There is something indescribably sweet about it, and they hang on his every word.
(This well-loved book came from Grandma Johnson. I think most of our favorite books have come from her!)
