{ Book-a! }

Emma has recently discovered the joy of books - she is truly my daughter!! All day long, we hear the cry of "book-a, book-a, book-a!" ringing through the house. It gets louder and louder and louder until someone will sit down and read her a book. (And when I say "LOUD," those of you who know Emma personally know just how loud I mean.) So, so cute!! (And also a bit irritating when it's all day long.)

We often make trips to the library, but last week it seemed to click for her that this was the mecca of books. The library walls shook with her screams of "BOOK-A, BOOK-A!!!" She ran up and down the rows, pulling book after book onto the floor. And when it was time to go, her chant went up even higher in volume and desperation. Hilarious!! (Okay, and a teeny bit embarassing.) But here are a few pictures I took of my girls at the library this last week, reading their books together. :)

( I should have saved the best for last, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to put the pictures in the order I want.) Aiva kept making goofy faces, so I showed her how to tilt her head and smile. I snapped the shot, then looked at it, suprised to see that Emma had copied me also.

Love it!

Love these moments.

Can I just put in a little ditty here about Aiva? She has been the sweetest, BEST girl lately. She went through a really hard stage at about 3 - I mean, awful!! - but the last month, it's like she's grown out of the toddler stage and is a sweet, kind, thoughtful, obedient (for the most part) little girl. I am so, so proud of my girl. She is growing up to be such a sweet little lady.

BOOK-A, BOOK-A!!

I LOVE my girls. Can I say it again??? I LOVE my little girls!!!
