Ready To Go Into Orbit

Did violin practice with Richard, a long and difficult guitar lesson with Sophie, and a frustrating reading lesson with Helen. Their mom is ahead of schedule with their classes but all the extra things I am trying to do with them in the evenings seem to be lagging and suffering from a mix of my own fatigue and just the plain old unpredictability of family life. Can't quite begin to explain the feeling when I stumbled through the living room while trying to get some cleaning done for their mom, when I saw Sophie sitting there reading a bed time story to Helen. It was like a ray of light after a long hard slog in the dark.

I told Sophie that the whole world is an open book to her now that she can read.
