We Read So Many Books

Gage and I started at the last part of May. Every week checking out at least 13 books. He would have me reading by 8am each day. I can't even form words for the first hour I am awake. I had to get myself goin, but fast. He got very good at using his "library voice".Never once did I have to remind him. So many kids and parents didn't seem to know how to keep it down. He learned where the kid books were. He learned how to check his books back in. No matter how long it took,(when you are only 3 it takes a while let me tell ya) he would place each book into the book drop until the job was done. One of his favorite things. I enjoyed the books too. So many wonderful stories. So many fantastic illustrators. There were prizes for the most books read, a raffle, and prizes for the best book report. For the little guys Gages age they drew a picture representing their favorite book. Gage chose "The Red Balloon". He won first prize in his age group and got to pick a new book.All the kids got a T-shirt for participating. When his name was called he jumped up and said "I'm Gage".He had a great time. It is the first "thing" he has been involved in. He will be 3 in Sept.
