Making reading fun! Sarah Jessica Parker squats down on the sidewalk to share a book with her little girls

Just like her eclectic sense of style, she makes her own rules when it comes to parenting.
Instead of waiting for a conventional place to sit down, Sarah Jessica Parker was seen settling down in the middle of a dirty sidewalk in New York on Wednesday.
Feeding their imaginations, the 48-year-old Sex And The City actress delighted her twin daughters Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta with a quick read.

Marion couldn't contain her excitement, smiling and appreciating every animated word out of her mother's mouth.
Meanwhile, her twin sister was focused a bit differently, sucking on her index finger as she skimmed the pages from above.
Showing some love for her doting mum, Tabitha also kept a hand on Sarah's shoulder.

Having SJP as their mother, the three-year-old girls were dressed adorable as always.
Marion was spotted in a pink polka-dotted romper and teal cropped sweater, teamed with silver flats that featured a feminine bow.
Completing her look, her dark blonde locks were swept back into a ponytail, accented with a pink accessory matching her one-piece.

Appearing a little funkier than her sister, Tabitha donned a multicoloured striped dress, topped with a knit yellow sweater.
On her feet, she sported a pair of Mary Jane patent leather flats.
Her hair was braided in cute pigtails, and she sported a pair of pink aviator shades.
Marion had the same pair, but opted out of wearing them.
The Failure To Launch star was seen carrying her little one's sunglasses for her instead.

Being silly, Marion stuck her tongue out as she held onto her mother's hand, patiently waiting for them to make their next move once the reading session was over.
Tabitha appeared anxious to get going, lifting her leg up as she held her mother's other hand.

Proving where her kids get their sense of style from, Jessica showed off her flare for fashion in a pair of skinny camouflage trousers that she teamed with a sheer, sea-foam green shirt and strappy yellow sandals.
Adding some edge to her ensemble, a bright bra peeked through her button-down blouse.
Her son James was also seen during their afternoon outing, making it a family day minus their father Matthew Broderick who was absent.
