Week 3 { Glimpes 52}

I must be a week ahead…in my mind. :0

This week is just like any other week in my life..work, kids, gymnastics, school..etc.. I love every minute of it.  One big part of our daily routine is reading with our kids.  My oldest daugher is in 1st grade and I volunteer each week in her classroom helping some of the kids in her class read.  Reading is SUCH an important aspect of our lives, especially when children are learning.  Believe me, as a mother, I know that helping a child learn to read can be a painful process, but when “it” finally clicks, I think we as parents get just as excited as our children do.  I still get excited when my daughter reads a book and adds the emotion correctly, or expresses her personality in the book.  I know, I know, it sounds  a little like my old friend THE SOAPBOX,   I assure you it isn’t.   It just breaks my heart when I am helping some of these children read and they are struggling so much and they tell me that ‘they don’t have time at home.”  It is our jobs as parents to help them and encourage them in their learning process and reading is one of those things.  So, all of this brings me to my post this week for the Chic Critique forum Glimpses 52 project.  I chose to take photos of my daughter’s favorite reading spot, some of her books, and her WELL cared for love, Piggy.  Because this is such a big part of our daily routine, it is a Glimpse into my life. 

Enjoy! 

A cozy place to read
