Reading Together

Brendan is such an adoring big brother and often reads to his younger siblings. A few nights ago, right before bedtime, Brendan chose a long picture book and began to read aloud to Madeline. When Audrey overheard the reading, she joined in and all three sat together, mesmerized by the story. Brendan is such a great reader - he creates distinct voices for each character, uses clear enunciation, dramatic pauses, and inflection!

What a joy to see my little ones enjoying time together this way.
