Micah loves learning

Today Micah surprised me when he came home from school today. He told me that his class had gone to the library. He pulled out the book that he decided to check out and it was a book on Washington! He said he wanted to read and learn about where we are going to live.

So tonight for about half an hour he sat on the couch reading and sharing interesting facts with us, like:

• Washington has 600 islands
• Washington has about 1000 natural lakes
• Forests cover more than half the state
• Washington's forests have maples, cottonwoods, aspens and cherry trees
• Wildflowers in Washington include dogwood, goldenrod and brown-eyed Susans
• Gray whales sometimes approach the Pacific shore
• Seals and Dall porpoises often visit Puget Sound
• Thousands of deer roam Washington
• Some of the world's largest octopuses also live in Puget Sound

And I am happy to let everyone know that Naomi slept in her room all night long and did not wake up!
