Sunday on the couch

You sat down and talked.

I was on the couch reading The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck.

You said, "The book I am reading made me cry.  Charlie cried too."

You have been reading "Meet Addy."  

It is a book from the American Girl series.

It came in a set with a doll.  

I love that you chose Addy out of all of the other historical dolls that were available that day.

She is an African American character fighting for freedom with her family to escape slavery.

You talked and talked and talked,

sharing every detail you remembered of what you have read so far.

You love the book~

and I love that you care, that you were reading to Charlie, that you cried and that you shared it with me.
