Liv's reading time....

Liv and I have started getting serious about her reading time. It's serious business you know. We have a basket of all her books and whether she understands what I'm saying or not, she is captivated.  She loves them.  So, to promote good brain growth, we read the same books over and over and over and over. And over. I have most of them memorized.  This is not impressive when you realize how simple children's books are.  When I saw this I laughed so hard. Yes, my buffalo cackle because it is about the truest interpretation of children's books I have ever watched:


Bienvenidos Ben (who still has an accent)....

 
BEN IS HOME!
There are some things that when you have them, everything is better.  It's like salt.  You can put salt on anything and it doesn't totally change the flavor, it just enhances the flavor of whatever you put it on.  That's how my brother Ben is.  He doesn't judge or try to change you, he just makes whoever he is with be the best them.  He takes you as you are and then enjoys and makes it better.  Everyone needs Ben Savio in their lives and even though we survived, I would say as a family we limped along at best without him because we need his influence in our lives. I'm so excited to have my salt brother home again.  Liv and I are getting on a plane tomorrow to see him and we can't wait.
