Reading. Adorable.

Lately the kids have grown more independent together. I hate to get in their business when they're in this quiet way, but I am a slave to documentation. 

Lydia and I work on her letters (reading and writing) every day. She loves to learn and work hard, in doses, of course, but I'm always so proud of her abilities.

I am also ever proud of Garnet. He's always up for anything Lydia wants, but is able to create his own ideas that she latches onto as well. They're so good for each other, so different and wonderful together. 

And poor Garnet... when they stopped reading. Aren't they heartbreaking and lovely when they're sad.
