Aiden said as he turned the pages of the book he's holding above, "Mommy, when Sky gets big like me, she will be able to read books with no pictures too."
Staying indoors because of the weather has not been easy on Aiden and Sky. Several times Aiden stared out of the window and whined about the rain not going away. We finally resorted to just playing in the garage but that always lead to them sneaking out into the rain in the driveway.
While cooped up in the house they've both gone to their polar extremes. Aiden has become highly sensitive and Sky has become very aggressive and physical. So all day long I hear this:
"Mommy, Sky pulled my ear."
"Mommy, Sky pinched my cheek."
"Mommy, Sky pushed me."
"Mommy, Sky said no to me."
Immediately after I hear a complaint from Aiden I hear Sky running away and giggling. The little devil.
When things get really chaotic in the house we go back to the basics...books. Both Aiden and Sky love reading time. It calms them down and brings them together. Of course they do argue over which book we read first but that usually works itself out.
What a SMART Mommy you have!! Reading to you is the best thing a Mommy can do for many reasons. You not only learn together, listen together, think together, share together, but it teaches you great social skills too. I know that Aiden and Sky are going to grow up to be such great adults and will be able to pass on all the knowledge and the love that your family has bestowed upon you both. Like I always say-You are very lucky children!!
