Check out Elijah’s little library of books in his top-bunk…
It makes my heart so happy to see Elijah turning into such a little bookworm! (I tell him this all the time too.) Right now he’s really enjoying The Magic School Bus books. They’re fictional chapter books, but have a lot of science facts in them…perfect for second grade boys who love science!
Although I really don’t have enough time to read right now in life, there was a time in my life – those adolescent years – when the ability to enjoy reading was such a blessing. In some ways, I believe it was a lifesaver. Among other things, being able to escape into a good book during my teens saved me from escaping into some other less, um… ”choice” teenage activities. I’ve also heard that research indicates that teenagers who read do indeed stay out of trouble. I’m hoping that Elijah’s beginning love of reading will grow with him into his teens!
I just found a copy of the first Harry Potter book in our campus Sally Ann, and plan on reading it soon. Elijah has been asking about reading the Harry Potter books, and while I think it will be many years before he’ll be mature enough to even possibly read them, I figured I’d get a head start on deciding if they’ll be suitable reading material for him one day. And, I have to admit, I’ve always been curious about the controversy surrounding them. I’d love to hear your opinion about the Harry Potter books, if you’ve read them.
It’s here once again: our family’s monthly TV turn off. Our family – well, I guess it was mostly me! - decided to do a monthly TV turn off week after we took part in the national TV turn off week
