Lately the girls have been asking questions about when they were little. You know, question like, “Tell me what I was like when I was little?” Once Adam or I finished telling one of them a story someone else would chime in wanting to hear stories about them. They laugh and laugh with and at each other at the stuff they use to do. With so many inquiries from them and not wanting to disappoint, I started looking through photos as a way to jog my memory. I don’t know what it is about taking pictures, but I can remember exactly where I was and the circumstances of when I took it (too bad I don’t remember the date).


[I took this with my first ever digital camera I got for Christmas in 2001. Oh my if you could see this old Sony camera now. I don’t even know what happened to it. The photos were 640×480 pixels 72dpi (super small printing 1.5″x2″) and it wrote the pictures onto a 3.5″ floppy disc. It’s crazy to think of now, but I loved having it.]

When I saw this photo of Bella and Tess I was immediately reminded of what we used to do during the day. Bella was a very calm little girl (luckily, because she was not a calm baby) and she was always satisfied by sitting and reading with me. How does cheap cialis? cialis or sildenafil citrate is a PDE-5 inhibitor.

Men suffer from impotence or weak erection can look for herbal viagra 25 mg remedies, which are safe and deliver what they promise. It worked out marvelously when Tess came along because, as you can imagine, I was sitting a lot with a newborn. So Bella and I would read, and we wouldn’t just read anything, we read No Matter What by Debi Gliori. It was one of her favorite books at the time so we read it over and over again. Now, if you know Bella then it’s no surprise she had the book memorized after the third time through (she is still like that) and there was absolutely no way I could skip a part or miss a page. So after Tess was feed and happy Bella would sit next to her on my bed and read to her.

After remember and sharing this story with my girls I thought, I really should buy this book again (after so many times through it got ruined). A few weeks went by and I sort of forgot about it until I was at the library yesterday with Megan. It just occurred to me to look for the book and I was lucky enough to find a copy. So I brought it home to surprise my girls. When I originally told the story to Bella she didn’t remember the book, but when she saw it again it brought back all her memories (of the story, not of reading it to Tess).

So this morning when I woke up, later than usual, I found the three of them cozy on the chair listening while Bella read them the story. It was a sweet sight for me to see and one I always hoped I would find since 2002 when I watched Bella reading to her sister for the very first time.
