I am recuperating from knee surgery. I miss my kinder-bears and our 'sneak in another one' read-alouds. I can't wait to get back to them on March 6th so we can have fun learning together.
My son reads to his son every night before bed. When I visited him at Christmas he climbed up on my lap and said, "read to me". Love that!
