Adam had a late phone call this evening, so when it came time for Brady to head off to bed, Isaac volunteered to read him a story. I agreed, but went along just to make sure they wouldn't wind up bouncing on the bed or smacking each other with the makeshift light sabres I figure they've constructed and hidden somewhere upstairs.

Beyond how sweet it was to see them sitting with their little heads together, I was also struck by how far Isaac has come with reading. A few years ago, he struggled with basic speech. Then not all that long ago, he was sounding out basic words. And now he reads text with expression and seems to really enjoy telling stories.

It's amazing to realize how quickly we grow and change.
