After Tim reads John Caden's "read aloud" school stories to him at night, John Caden's gotten into the habit of coming into Anna's room and listening to me finish reading Anna's stories to her--many of which are long historical fiction or biographical chapter books. I've come to love how eagerly he comes running in, earnestly hoping that he hasn't missed too much of these books--books that should be far above his comprehension level. He's currently particularly enjoying Gladys Aylward--a biographical book in the Christian Heroes: Then & Now series. Tonight, after we had finished reading "Gladys" and while Anna was completing her reading, he fell asleep. Anna begged me to leave him. After I turned out the light, I watched through the cracked door as she slowly edged her way closer and closer to him. Within a few minutes she was fast asleep snuggled up as close as she could possibly get.
