No, David, No!

There are no pictures to memorialize this, but I had to write this down. I was cleaning the basement and discovered some childrens' books I forgot I had. One of them is the book, "No, David!" by David Shannon about a little boy who gets in trouble all day long until the end when his mother says, "Yes, David. I love you!" Finley had me read that book several times in a row. She had it memorized by the third time and was VERY dramatic as she helped me read the book. On the fourth read-through I noticed her getting a little teary. On the fifth read-through, she had to stop halfway through because she had made herself cry! She crawled in my arms and gave me a huge hug and mumbled about "Poor David". It was like she had put herself right into David's shoes and became David. I thought Sadie was the drama queen, but we may have another one on our hands!!!
