Last year, if I had taken the kids on an outing without snacks, shortly before lunch, the back seat of our car would have been a war zone. Today, though, after stopping at the library, when both kids were getting antsy, the restlessness in the car stopped with these words from Katherine: “Nathaniel, do you want me to read your new book to you while Mommy drives?” And all the way home I got to hear the sound of my daughter reading to her brother, and his happy interjections. Utter delight for all.
