Reading is Fun....damental!!


Recently, Ethan has become interested in reading chapter books. Hallelujah!!

I love a good dinosaur/Diego/Star Wars book, but bedtime is just so much more fun now!

Oh yeah! I feel your joy!!! Right now, Rick is reading Charlotte's Web. A family favorite! They've read it several times. I highly recommend it! We've also read the Harry Potter books and Alice in Wonderland, Tales of Unfortunate Events, The Chronicles of Narnia.
I am so excited for you and this new journey into bed time! It rocks!
