Reading

We have been reading chapter books outloud. This usually happens around bed and naptime, but a rainy day can lead to a lot of nursing and snuggling and reading. A friend turned us on to Hilda Van Stockum. She is originally from Holland, but lived in Ireland for a large portion of her life. The stories are of the O'Sullivan family and their tales. There are four exciting children: Michael, Brigid and twins: Francie & Liam. It is set in the early 1930s.

After reading so much with an Irish accent, I find myself wanting to say things like, "Faith, m'darling, I think yer right" or "I just need a wee bit."

Loving these books! There is one more in the series. We'll see if Van Stockum can hold out.
