A few minutes ago I heard the girls in the dining room working on a project together. I thought they were all getting along for once (hard feat to accomplish on any given day and especially over a long vacation from school!) when suddenly, someone came bursting down the stairs. It was Kerrigan and she asked if we wanted to hear something funny in a book she was reading. I looked in her hands and saw a small chapter book that I bought for her last spring. That surprised me in and of itself. Then she proceeded to relate what had happened to this point in the story as if she had watched it on a video! I asked how she knew all that about the story and she looked at me like I'd lost it. "In the book, Mom!" she said (and I knew she was thinking, "Duh!") I was impressed that she had comprehended that much and could tell it flawlessly. I've been waiting for this day.
P.S. But the funny part might have been when I just asked her what the name of the book was and she said, "Santa Dog. I think we have all the seasons." :)
