For a long time, I've been envious of Moms whose children will sit and color. I am no longer in the green with envy color. A month or two ago, something changed with Holly and she very suddenly wanted to color all the time. I'm not kidding. Greta joined the revolution and is also coloring constantly. It's completely awesome. I love it! It's so fun to see what their artistic little selves come up with. And for Holly, it's really great for her to have a busy activity that she doesn't need my help with. She especially likes coloring pictures for friends and family.

Holly also loves to read. The very best day for books is the day after we've visited the library. She'll spend long spurts of times, slowly flipping through the newly borrowed books. Holly and I also love to read chapter books together. I love children's literature.
