author

For the last few months after we kiss Tuck good night, he pulls out a flashlight kept “hidden” in his sheets (he thinks we don’t know about it) and reads until he falls asleep. When we check on him, more often than not, there is a book resting lightly between his fingers… Nate the Great, Flat Stanley, My Weird School and recently, Narnia. It is so exciting to watch his love for reading develop and to see him devour some of the same books we loved as kids. One night he exclaimed, “Mom, I just LOVE reading. Maybe as much as FISHING!”. That’s some big praise from my guy!

Last night when I went in to check on him, I found something new tucked between the sheets. Poking out from under the covers was the hard plastic lid from his Bionicles box, a pencil and a homemade book entitled, “Families”. He has decided to write a series of books for his school library that other kids can check out (he even hand drew the bar codes). I guess he needs to add “author” to the long list of things he wants to be when he grows up. That kid is SO AWESOME!
