Santa


We ran into Santa yesterday at Newk's.  I was surprised that Guy sat in Santa's lap.  Guy wants a train set and Lorem wants a Princess Barbie.  Lorem does not believe in Santa, but after seeing him yesterday...she said to me, "Mom, I think that is the REAL Santa!"

She loves to read!

Lorem has become an excellent reader.  I am amazed at the long words she knows at first sight.   As her kindergarten teacher told me last year, "this is not the same school system you went to as a child.  We start reading in kindergarten."  Lorem loved to read from a really early age.  This a picture of her at two years old.  This is the shelf her books had been.  We had to put her books up in the closet and bring them out for reading time.  Otherwise, there was crying and begging for us to read a book.  Honestly, she could sit in your lap and listen to you read for hours.  She is growing up so fast!  She was trying to read a book to Guy last night.  Guy is a different story!  I love those kids!
