My Favorite Book

Yesterday, when I was picking PSP up for school her teacher pulled me aside and told me that PSP had made a really great book about her sister that day.  However, she wanted her to read it to the class and they didn’t have time that day, so she would send it home the next day.  When I went to pick her up today she was holding this tiny but precious book in her hand.  She read it to me right then and there and I got tears in my eyes.  It is quite possibly the sweetest thing she has ever made.   
I present to you, in its entirety, My Sister.  
My sister likes to scoot.  
My sister likes to play with me. 
My sister is cute.   
I love my sister.   
My sister smiles.   
My sister likes to color.  

I adore this book.  The illustrations are simple, yet filled with amazing little details.  Like the little lines to show movement of Lamp scooting in the first picture, along with her short arm rounded at the end and her hand on the other arm.  In the second picture Lamp is doing an Easter egg hunt that PSP set up for her–something they’ve been doing quite a bit lately.  A bow in Lamps hair to show just how ‘cyoot’ she is and of course the hearts above their heads showing love.  Finally Lamp holding the crayon in her foot in the last picture and drawing an ‘A.’  PSP taught her to write her very first letter–the letter A–just a couple weeks ago.  I’m either going to laminate the book, or scan the photos and make a shutterfly style album out of it.  Either way, this book is a family treasure.

The love between these two sisters remains one of my favorite parts of parenthood.
