books!

One of the sweetest (and most chaotic) moments happened recently when I took a children's picture book to the village.  The kids quickly gathered around and were literally amazed at all the different pictures.  We spent at least an hour pouring over this book page by page.  We looked at absolutely everything and oh did the kids go crazy and have lots of questions about some of the things they saw.  There was a page that featured all different kinds of food and candy.  Everyone quickly let me know which candy would be his or her favorite!  And the animal pages were met with complete amazement.  Some of the younger kiddos decided the snake picture wasn't necessary and closed their eyes until we turned the page.  The photos of colorful fish and tigers were some of their favorites.  These simple moments with the kids are always some of my favorite.  Moments where they are all crowded around and learning.  Moments when I get to watch their little minds grow and experience things they have never even heard about.  The book has now been declared a "favorite" and has already been requested multiple times!
