I am absolutely loving that Colm wants me to read The Little House on the Prairie series to him. I also love that he is so into it. He gets to caught up in the drama..the Indians, Jack almost drowning, Mr. Scott passing out in the well, the log falling on Ma’s leg and when the ox got stuck on the roof of their house…there’s just so much going on all the time. I also love that after we read the first two books and we were ready to read the third which is about Almanzo (Laura’s future husband) and not Laura that Colm decided to skip that book because he wanted to “stick with Laura”.
On a side note, I am totally impressed that Ma irons even when she doesn’t have a house yet because Pa hasn’t built her one yet and they are living in their wagon. Because let me tell you, if I was living out in the middle of nowhere in a wagon, the absolute last thing I would be doing is ironing.
