Room Mom

I got a note today from Dallen's Room Moms and they are both moms of kids that are in Chloe's class. I told her about one of them and then later found out the name of the other child. When I went to tell her the name of the girl I said "Chloe' guess who Dallen's other room mom is? ___ Mom!" Chloe' said "No way! " She was all excited. As I left the room I heard Mara faintly say "Who is Dallen's new mom?"

After Scriptures

Well, as most of you know we are getting over a tropical storm that has caused endless rain and cabin fever in the worst way possible. I finally gathered the wild animals together last night to read some scriptures and it was like it took forever. We read from the Book of Mormon Reader so it is not like it was even the detailed scriptures in scripture language, but one would think it was going on for an eternity.

When I closed the book one of the children asked very enthusiastically "Are we done?" Very tired and having suffered from a migraine all day, I said "Yes." Then out of nowhere Mara said " Yea! Now we can go wild!"

I just chuckled and said "No, now you get to get ready for bed." Nice try.

Birdie

Mara was over on my bed and started talking about feathers. She told me last night she heard a birdie singing. Then she said "I think the birdie flew in here into your pillow." I replied "No sweetie that is a feather pillow - they put feathers in them to make them soft."

Reading

Mara asked me to help her read a book about colors, so I showed her that the words were the colors on the page. She was so excited when she read the whole book that she ran out to show the kids. A couple minutes later I could hear her say "Anderson can read! I teachded him!" She was so excited.

Dream

As we tucked Mara into bed she very enthusiastically told us about her dream last night. In her dream she was a baby and she "scareded five little baby ghostes" (two syllables). She said they were evil. She said it was such a fun dream.
