As I was putting Allison to bed tonight, her prayer started like this,
"Thank you God for giving me a sister........"
My prayer,
"Father, thank you for the tender heart of my baby. Please let the girls' love for each other only grow stronger and deeper as they get older. May they always share a special love for each other through out their whole lives." Amen

Lauren's Story
Lauren has really taken an interest in writing stories lately. Her kindergarten teacher has done a marvelous job at teaching Lauren how to stay on the topic of her story when writing. Lauren loves to make up stories in the car and illustrate this point by throwing in a sentence that is off the topic. She gets a big kick out of that. (It does not take much to entertain this little girl!)
Here is one of Lauren's latest stories she brought home from school.
There was a really cute illustration for her story, but it was on a large sheet of construction paper and I couldn't scan that big of a paper.
I have also convinced Lauren that she does not have to know every single word in a book to be able to read that book to me. Therefore, she is really starting to read more and more to me.
I got this little paperback book, Read to Your Bunny by Rosemary Wells at a class I went to when Lauren was just a couple of months old. The book is about the importance of reading to your child and at the end it says, "Read to your bunny, and your bunny will read to you." Well, my bunny is reading to me. I just can't believe it.
Allison is also getting very interested in reading and words. She loves to spell word family words. She has mastered the "at" family. I am trying to get her to broaden her horizons and try other word families, but she really loves those "at" words. She also has her own book that she can read, The ABC Book. She loves to read it frequently to us. She is also starting to "read" (recite from memory) familiar books.
Allison is enjoying writing as well. She loves to write her name, Lauren, Cindy, Bill, Madison, Mommy,and Daddy.
We are very proud of our little girls.
