Bedtime....

So Buddy is getting better and better at reading. Our ritual includes us reading him a book, followed by him reading a book to us. Works great, he lays in bed and then 2 hours later he's still doing a little bit of this...

OK, maybe it's not so great. Not that I don't absolutely love that he's reading, but the boy is reading in bed until 11 pm, and I have to go to the library 2 times a week to refill our bag with new books, because heaven forbid you read the same book twice. At this rate we'll have read all the books in our local library by years end. The only drawback to this arrangement is waking him up for school in the morning. He's actually been doing great this week (OK it's only been 3 days), and there is a new girl in his class from Hawaii. We frequently talk about Hawaii  here, we all dream of living there some day, so he was so excited that he met someone who has lived there. Although, we don't know too much about her, Buddy said he was too shy to talk, somehow I'm not quite believing that story. There isn't a shy bone in that boy's body (definitely didn't get that from his mommy).
So all in all it's been a super fantastic reading kind of day!
