It does my heart good to see them cuddle up together and read a book.

Eisley can now recite the story, too. 

Sometimes she even acts it out. 

This classic is one of my favorites. 

Not only is it an endearing story about a pacifist little bull, the illustrations are clever and it tells a good story without being too wordy.

This book is even more special to me because, well:

It even made it through my childhood unmarked by crayons and without a single torn page. We put it up carefully every night when Eisley is done reading it.

These are the bits of parenting that I love.

Sharing a good, timeless story, then a hug and a kiss before bedtime.
