I just finished reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller...in this book Miller shares what he learned while editing his life. He talks about a friend that has "writtten more than five hundred pages of memories...because if he forgets them, it's as though they didn't happen..." Many of you know that this is one of the main reasons I started this blog...there is power in remembering...so you can imagine my joy when Micaiah said "Nonny I want to start writing in a diary."
Just to give you a little background. Our first read aloud was Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White...I think this will always be one of Micaiah's favorites. In the story there is a little boy, Sam Beaver (many of you may recall the name from when I was pregnant with Eli...remember Micaiah wanted to name him Jack Beaver?) Sam Beaver has a habit of writing down the days events just before bed each evening. So when we borrowed the story from the library recently it sparked something in Micaiah...
that I'm sure he will treasure in days to come!
