Storytime

This afternoon, when Norah was napping, Lolo and I were playing in the living room. She pulls out her pint-sized rocker, gets situated in her rocker, gets a "book" that we've been coloring. She says "Mama, you sit right there." (Pointing to a spot on the rug). And proceeds to tell me a story (just like her teachers do in school), holding up the book so that I can see the pictures, turning the book all around the room, (so everyone else can see the pictures too).

For some reason, it caught me off guard. I remember playing school when I was a little girl....I just figured we had a few years before Lolo would start to do it too. I told Jim that I was just so enchanted by her this afternoon....all I wanted to do was stare at her (kind of like when she was a baby and I would just watch her sleep)....as Lolo likes to remind me, "I a present from God." Yes, she is. And I am thankful.
