Books and other misc. news.

First, I am reading The Covenant. It, like most other Naomi Ragen books, is gripping and can be mentally exhausting (I've read a few of hers in a row.. I think I'm ready for a light read, like a Jan Karon read...).

Secondly, John just read Caleb a Lois Lenski book about trains. Lois Lenski does the "Small" series, and Caleb loves them! After John finished the book, Caleb went back through it and "read" it out loud to himself! It was so fun to watch! I love how he's putting words and thoughts together (although this time it was just mostly noises). Does anyone else have any great book suggestions for a 2 almost 3 yr old who loves trains, and trucks?

Third, I love this blog. It makes me feel much closer to my sisters and sister-in-laws...

Fourth (and this just in!!): Caleb just went potty in the toilet! I heard "WOW! You did it!" and "Bye Poop!" all in the same few seconds... :)

Since nobody else decided to comment, I thought I would. :) I just finished "The Covenant" and it was interesting..... it takes a few days for me to really "chew" through the thoughts left behind in the wake of her books.

Will really likes The Little Red Train stories. They're by Benedict Blathwayt (he's British) and they are very cute-- the illustrations are amazing. kak, thee might remember thee read this to Will in STL a long time ago... "chuff-chuff, chuffitty-chuff, wooo-eeeee"..." :)

Girlfriend, don't be so down when people don't comment immediately! Patience, my dear! Anyway, I am in the middle of reading, "In An Instant" by Bob and Lee Woodruff and it is very good too!
