how many pictures does it take....

this picture from my father's day post is a sweet one, huh!? so natural, so peaceful... my two oldest cherubs in the lap of their daddy... quietly listening as he reads the well-penned words of c.s. lewis' classic story.
um, no. my little stinker of a three-year-old is not really into prince caspian. that's putting it mildly. she listened to most of the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe, but the second book just doesn't do it for her. we are working on sitting quietly and listening for a little while, but it's definitely a work in progress! so i couldn't help but share these outtakes from our little prince caspian photo shoot...
dancing like the fauns on the dancing lawn...
"ethan, you gotta little somethin' in your nose..."
"daddy is a super reader!"
caroline, don't look at me!
"yes ma'am!" (you can see that by this point, ethan is not amused!)
aaaaaand we eventually got some keepers! i think daddy will have to reread this chapter to ethan. without little miss distraction doing her thing!

SWEET!!
I am amazed... my kids have never sad through a story longer than 30 pages. And that's with pictures!! It has never even occurred to them to try to read a long picture-less book to them! I think both of your kids are super impressive, even Miss Caroline! Anna Kate would have been off Daddy's lap and into the kitchen hunting a snack in two minutes flat!
