Some of my most favorite things are 1) when my kids eat vegetables 2) when my kids play creatively together and 3) when my kids are reading. So it did my heart well to see Dallin & Ella cuddled up on their grandparents' laps reading before bed tonight. Dad read them, So You Want to Be President. I love this book.. I find it interesting, informative and the illustrations are award winning. It's a bit longer than a little children's book, but I can usually cruise through it, on average, in 9 minutes. After checking the clock, I was sure Dad had moved onto the next book, it had been 34 minutes! But, no... he was still in there on the reading chair going meticulously through each page. 41 minutes... still reading. 53 minutes...are you serious?!! Finally the book closed but he then had to extend the story by showing the kids pictures of Mt. Rushmore on the internet. We were just shaking our heads... that's so Dad! Once again... luckiest kids alive! (myself included).

I've never seen that book, so cute. How fun to have a grandpa so close to have him read to them, charished memories.
We do have the greatest parents!
I love that book and what memories he is creating with his granchildren. That's neat he is spending that much divided attention to them.
