Reading with Madison

So, today, Kasie & I are taking turns reading "Wind & the Willows" with Madison.  She just started private school & they gave her 2 weeks to read a 250 page book.  WOO HOO!

The 1st time she "read" it, well, she didn't really read it.  So now we are sitting by her side as she reads it; making corrections as she goes so we KNOW that she is reading.

Oh, the joys of parenthood.  I am beginning to remember what it was like to be a kid.  My parents had to do the same thing I am doing now with my kids.  It is actually kind of bittersweet; there are so many other things I be doing.  At the same time, I know it is helping her & it is nice spending time with her like this.
