Still the eve of her birthday, Bella really gets into her roll as 'Violet' in The Boxcar Children. We just finished this read-aloud. Soph read some of it, but we all wanted to move through the story just a tad faster, so she was willing to let us read on. This was the chapter on helping in the Cherry orchard picking cherries.
And just like in the story, they stopped to eat a few, but not too many.
The girls loved this book, and started pretending that everything was a boxcar and they needed to find things to go in it in order to live. Sophia got way more into and told me everyday that she wanted to live in a boxcar. It has worn off a little, but she is always game for an adventure, with Bella right at her heels.
