Friday


Violet and I have been practicing her reading skills as of late.  She is getting better and better at it and will be a super, amazing reader in no time.

Among her favorite books right now: Jan Thomas' Rhyming Dust Bunnies.  I've found that these particular stories really help her because they rhyme and also offer some humor as an added bonus. 

I've made it my mission to find similar books that use rhymes and silliness to appeal to my girl. 

Her Daddy and I have worried just lately that perhaps she should be reading by now.  I try not to worry about these things but of course, I don't want her to be behind her peers.  We are making an effort to spend our personal time reading with her more often. 

I've been observing other children her age lately and honestly - I totally know other parents must say this too - but my daughter is such a peach!  She doesn't lie, she isn't sneaky (with food, my personal items, etc), she is sweet most of the time and is pretty emotionally mature, in my opinion.  If I leave her alone in the next room for a while, I do not fear for her safety or the safety of my belongings!  She is nice to the other children in her class and is courteous to her teachers.  She minds her own business, she asks if she wants something of mine and she doesn't make distastrous messes.  I remember being such a little shit when I was her age and she is nothing like me at all (in that respect, thankfully).  It is pretty darn awesome!  I am a very lucky lady to have such a good girl.

I hope this goodness extends into the teen years...
