This is awesome! It was quiet in my house one afternoon and I was wondering where everyone was. I knew Sara was in the corner reading and Miles and Kamri were just quietly playing in the front room but I didn't know where Evan was. I found him like this....
reading on his own accord. This is a big deal. He does not like to read. He is really good at it but just doesn't enjoy it. It's hard for me sometimes because I love to read and try to make him like it too but it hasn't worked. But I found a new place to get books and he loves them - Usborne books. They have so many different kinds of books and activities about so many different topics.
He's more of a non-fiction reader and enjoys learning while he's reading so these are perfect for him. This book he's reading is "Look Inside Your Body" and all the fun facts he learns he loves. I also got him a "Big Cats" (i.e. lions, tigers, cheetah, etc.) book and when he was sitting down to read it I kept hearing, " that is so cool", "that is awesome" and lots of other exclamations. It was so nice to hear him enjoying them.
This is Sara also reading a book about birds from Usborne books.
Kamri soon sat down to join him.
I'm so happy when he is enjoying a good book. He still runs around as much as he ever did, but now he knows he has books that he will enjoy when he wants to sit down for a bit.
