Sit and Listen

When the girls were little, they each had a CD player in their room so that they could listen to music while they fell asleep.  When they started sharing a room, we packed the CD players away and pretty much forgot about them.  A few weeks ago, when we were doing some cleaning, Lee came across them and asked the girls if they were interested in having a radio/CD player in their room - of course, they were delighted!  Not only do they listen to the radio and their CDs (Lee was thrilled to get all of the Disney CDs out of his truck!), but they have been listening to audiobooks as well.  We noticed that several of their books contain a CD with an audio version and they really enjoying listening to the stories.  Elizabeth enjoys it so much that I've actually added some audio books to her birthday list - listening to a good story seems to be the one area where she exhibits the most patience, especially when she can follow along in a book.
