Dresden and Logan had Parent Teacher Conferences last week and both boys are doing well in school. I have been worried about Dresden's reading and his lack of interest in reading. We did find some books, the Magic Treehouse series, that he was interested in but he still didn't love reading them by himself. Well, after conferences we went into the gym to the Book Fair and let the boys pick out some books. Dresden wanted the book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. We bought it for him and he immediately took to the books. He barely put the book down all night. I am so happy he has found the magic of reading a book and the desire to want to read more.
Dresden was sent to timeout and had to sit on the bench. He took his book with him and rather than leaving after the 7 minutes he stayed right there for about 1/2 hour reading his book.
The boys were helping Larry cut up celery and buttering the casserole dishes for the homemade stuffing he was making. In between jobs Dresden was reading his book.

That is really good. I am trying to teach Savannah to read. It is so much fun! I'm sure she'll get it soon.
Joseph loves that book too. He finished last week and is already asking for the next two. It is a great feeling when they find something they love to read.
Dresdan liked going to the library and picking out books with me(most of the time) and I enjoyed picking him up after school and taking him to the library. He loved the Fly Guy books last year, I'm sure they are too young for him now, but I think Logan would love them.
im glad the boys are doing well in school. carlee had a hard time getting into reading.
