I love to read! So far I've instilled in my boys a love for reading too! Nathan is now in speech and reading classes at his school. They had a special reading event tonight that I took the boys to. It was pretty neat. They had a story teller, she told a Dr. Sues story about the "things" that have stars and do not have stars. Then they had a guy playing songs and singing on his guitar. They also had food from Charlie Chicken that was very yummy and they had a few different games that were all reading related. The kids even got a free book for coming. I was afraid it would be over crowded because sometimes when the school does these events they get a crowd of people and you can barely move. However, to my surprise there was a nice turn out but also enough room for us to have plenty of space to look around and move from one thing to the next.
I enjoy doing these special evenings with my sons because they won't be young forever! However tonight they both tested my patience. Nathan didn't want to sit still while listening to the story and then he whined when he didn't get chosen as a helper. He also had a hard time accepting when his name wasn't called for a prize or when he didn't win bingo. Then Jacob was upset that he didn't get a pencil and book like Nathan did! Me oh my I was about to pull my hair out at the end of the evening! Not exactly how I wanted the evening to go but hey we did get the love of reading instilled more!
