while reading to kendal...

tonight i was sitting in the rocking chair with kendal in my lap and reading him books. i opened one that i unfortunately have not read more than the first few pages... it is a book that kendal's aunt kathy gave to him this past summer when she was here for the walbring family reunion. it really is a cute book, i'm not sure why i haven't read it before now except that it has paper pages and i was afraid that kendal would tear them. anyway, i was admiring the creative stories and graphics used in the book, which by the way is remy charlip's "arm in arm" and i got to this page: lol i immediately thought of nathaniel and amy... and then kathy. it would have been nice to know them growing up. i bet they had lots of neat books like this. one day, we will get a pete and repeat. even if they are just 2 fish. this book reminds me of another book that someone once gave me... i wonder if i can find it because i can't remember what it is called! something about a sidewalk...

  1. Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends. Good child's book. You had it, you still do, I think.

  2. "Arm in Arm" is Kathy's all time favorite childrens book. I'm glad you are reading it to Kendal now.

    My mom had signed us up for a childrens book of the month club. We got some fantastic books. I have no idea what happened to them all; mom might have given them to the library and/or to Ann's kids.

    When Kendal gets a bit older, say, 6 or 7, read him "Mr. Popper's Penguins". It's a lot of fun!

    BTW, our Pete and "Repete" (Lily) did fine while we were away although Jon says they were quite shy and hid. Hard to believe, but, they are still babies and this was the first time they'd been left alone for a long period of time.

    They sure seemed happy to see us come home!
