Big Sister Reads to Little Sister

Sarah has had an explosion in reading development during the last few weeks, and is feeling comfortable and fluent enough to do some heavy duty reading to her little brother and sister, a scenario that is extremely heartwarming.  The Banana, who has been struggling for the last few days with a head cold, was so happy to sit by the fire with her big sister and hand her board book after board book over the weekend.  

In other news, I twisted my ankle running up the stairs last Saturday, and sprained it.  But its getting better.  At first I hobbled around so much Dr. Peds offered to go out and get me a cane.  Now my gait is almost back to normal, but it's still a little sore.
