About a month ago we took the kids to the Christian book store and had Alyssa pick out a new bible, since she was reading so well. She picked one out and cried as we left without it, even after we told her our plan.
Our plan was that she set a goal, she was to read so many books and when she had completed this goal she would get the bible she picked out.
one month later she is done, she told me last night in bed that she had just finished her last book. So Nick and I took her to the store today.
She picked this one out even though it is not the original one she loved it more.
We are so proud of her for being so diligent in keeping focused on her goal, not giving up, and being so patient while waiting to fulfill her goal.

Will was proud of her too and made a funny face for a picture.

As each our children began first grade, we bought them each a Bible, too. Very exciting, and what a joy to experience their joy in "owning" something so precious!
