Reading

Reading...something so many of us take for granted. As an adult I love to read...getting swept up in a good story. Or as my sister likes to say, finding those books that are good brain candy! I think that my joy for reading probably surprises my mom the most. It wasn't exactly the easiest thing I ever learned, and I'm speculating may have pushed her mommy limits beyond what she imagined possible at the time. I know it pushed me...but to see my little lay so comfortably on the floor pouring over a good book. Pointing at the pictures, making up the stories and laughing out loud as each character unfolds in-front of her is magic. It's one of those mommy moments that stops you in your tracks just to watch. Just to take it in. To relish how much she is learning and hope, even just for a moment, that she won't struggle like I did but will instead find the joy in some good brain candy!
