Just Read

When you are stuck at home for days on end...

...just read.

When the weather is too cold or windy to play outside...

...just read.

When you need a little quiet time alone...

...just read.

My kids have filled hours of their quarantine days reading books.  Briggs loves when someone will sit down and read to him, but he is also quite content to look at books on his own.  Adelie has grown as a reader this past month, polishing off at least 3 or 4 chapter books along with all the other picture books she reads for school or to Briggs.  And Staley has been devouring books at an alarming pace.  Most of the longer chapter books she has read take her a few days, while she might polish off a few 100-200 page books within a day.  I hope that the library opens up before we run out of books in the house for her to read.

We have found plenty to keep us busy during our month of quarantine.  We do school.  We play games.  We go outside.  We write letters.  There have been lots of plays and concerts and dance shows and imagination and fun.  But when all else fails...

...we read.
