Hop on Pop~


Bedtime can be kind of challenging without Daddy. We are working on having a fairly normal routine without him:) but you now it's just not the same. Dakota's screaming to eat her cereal and the little one's need help brushing teeth. Daddy does a lot around here! I don't know what I would do without him:) This young lady also does quite a bit to help. I was so proud of her the other night and realized how far she has come during this school year. I was busy feeding Dakota and she helped Cassidy dress for bed. Everyone was "ready" for bed but our routine wasn't quite finished. We usually read a book and sing a little before bed. Without even asking her, Caitlyn grabbed Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss and read the entire book to her brother and sister. AND they sat, in full attention, listening to every word.
Yes, this was definitely one of those proud parent moments.
She is doing a great job in reading but the best part of all is that I am seeing her LOVE to learn.
Thanks Ladonna! I know you have a lot to do with her love of learning:)

This made me laugh and get teary eyed it's such a sweet story. It's the kind of excitement I think God longs for us to have telling him things on our hearts, and anticipating His return. Micah's so precious.

Oops, apply the last comment to the New Hat story! : ) Wow, talk about a proud moment! What a special moment after all of your prayers and diligence in working with her every week! I'm so glad you got to see the whole thing. She's a wonderful big sister! I love how the others just sat beside her listening!

I can't believe how much Caitlyn looks like your litle girl pictures - she also looks so much like Kimberly! -Sara
