Book Worm

Madison has always been a book worm, but lately I have gotten two more in the family.  Andrew has really started to enjoy reading as he has learned his sight words this year in school.  Jonathan however I have spent the school year trying very hard to get him to read.  It has been huge challenge to get him to read his AR books.  Then it was like someone flipped a switch.  He has been reading like crazy.  He discovered the series by Jeff Kinney titled Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  There are six books out right now and he will read them in about 24 hours and just laughs as he reads them.  He has also been reading some Star Wars books.  We have bean bag chairs for  the kids and he has said that is what made the difference for him.  However you never know where you will find him reading.

Here he is out for a stroll on the treadmill reading his book.  This particular book is a Star Wars book that he has been reading for fun, just because he wants to.  I just love to see him enjoying a good book just because he wants to.
