One project that I would like to tackle before you kids are school-age is making a book of poetry. I want to fill it with all sorts of poems - funny, simple, long, short, poems about nature or eating or family or dogs. And then I want to rotate who chooses a poem to read every night at dinner before we eat.
My third grade teacher taught us poetry and we used to start each morning reciting and listening to poems. I still remember it... and I would love for that to be part of the culture of our family, for you to grow up knowing some Robert Frost and Rumi, some Mary Oliver or Irish stuff.
Poems are beautiful!
Love,
Mama
