New Book

We finished one chapter book this morning and started another tonight. Abby loves the new book. I told her I'd read two chapters and she managed to talk me into reading seven chapters. At one point she looked at me and said, "You can't stop now! This is a terrible place to stop. I have to find out what happens!!"

Reading to Abby is one of my favorite things. She gets so involved with the story -- diving under the covers or putting her hands over her ears when spooked. She asks what words mean and tonight I got stumped. I for the life of me could not remember what ennui means, so we got the dictionary out and looked it up.
