Today I have been reading aloud to K & M, while they have been quietly sitting doing cross-stitch. Very Victorian, no? Okay, but how many Victorian girls would have been doing a cross-stitch of a dinosaur whilst dressed as a dog? Sadly M said I wasn't allowed to take a photo and 'put it on blog' as my girls say.
It's been quite a while since I have read half a book in a day, about 6 months ago I was doing so on a regular basis, but coughs, colds and a lack of voice put paid to that over the winter. Today I started reading Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild and was barely allowed to stop for lunch.
We've had this book for probably over a month from the library and K has been reading it but with several other books on the go at the same time. I got the impression that she did quite like it but was finding it rather tough going. She finally finished it this week and I asked if she thought M would like it, which she did, so I offered to read it allowed during the day (rather than bedtime story, which M chooses herself) and she was quite keen. She is enjoying it much more having it read to her than when she read it herself.
