I've spent the morning reading...to two of my grandchildren.  I LOVE their intrigue, each page turned is a new adventure.  Sure, I have forgotten a lot about what it is like to be a full-time mom, but, one thing I haven't forgotten is how great it is to hear the SILENCE of wonder as a book is being read, to once rowdy children.  I suppose you could turn the TV on and get some of the same results, but then you have to listen to Dora's squeaky voice or Thomas and Gordon's english accent.  Besides I'll take a break from the chores to read a good book.

Here's a great link to an article written by, Mom It Forward.
