She has been good at seeing pictures and repeating stories – but this is the first story she told by herself – she told it to me and asked me to repeat it at bedtime. I added some drama to it and finished it off.
Da-da goes to office and sleep (ahem! I corrected her here – the things a mom has to do) works. Cat comes and says “meow”. Cat says to da-da “Can I use your computer?”. Da-da says “No. I need to work – go away”. Cat goes away. End of story.

Book Review: Henry’s Sisters
May 14th, 2012 | Tags: Book, book review, Cathy Lamb, Henry's Sisters | Posted in Library | No Comments »
I was looking for another Cathy Lamb book recommended by a friend – I could not find it in the library – so I picked up this one. It is not the greatest book – it is an ok weekend read kind of book.
The book as you can guess revolves around Henry – a specially abled adult and his 3 sisters. No family is perfect but Henry’s household takes the cake for being dysfunctional. Everyone has over-exaggerated issues and most of book goes on about the sisters dealing with their issues and their mother. All is well and the family has got together and you are ready to say good bye to the book and heave a sigh of relief – the author decides to drag on.
Blah!
