Finally

For the first 12 months of Amelia's life, Levi was constantly in her face, kissing her, trying to tickle her, picking her up, just bugging her in general. For the most part she was pretty passive about it. Now that she has found her voice and can walk the roles have reversed a little. If Levi gets up close and personal with Millie we hear about it either with a scream or Nooooo Weeevi. Now Millie is constantly in Levi's way wanting to play with his Wii, or "coloring" over his picture or ripping his book, and trust me we hear about it from Levi with a "Moooooom will you please come and get Amelia", "No Sis stay away from my stuff", or "Aww man not again".

But every once in a while they work together in brotherly/sisterly love. One of those moments was this afternoon. We had a viewing to attend so we got the kids dressed and ready and were finishing getting ready ourselves when I walked into Millie's room to find them sitting quietly in her rocking chair with Levi reading to Millie. As a mother it was precious.

I love that my kids love to read. Speaking of reading Levi became the first student in his class to reach 25 AR points allowing him to receive a cow radio, making him very popular with the other students, and coming home to a super proud momma.

Last year we struggles to reach 15 points by the end of the year and already this year we have reached 25 before March!!!

AR stands for Accelerated Reader. The student bring home books and read them, when they are finished they take them back to school and take a computerized test answering questions about the book. Levi usually scores 100% occasionally he will miss one. Each book is worth .5 points so you do the math. It is quite the accomplishment for Levi!!!!!
