Summer Reading Program

All 3 boys participated in the Summer Reading Program at the library this summer.  We made sure to visit the library once a week for the first 7 weeks of summer!  Our library is such a nice place for kids my boys' ages - plenty to play with and in it's own separate section of the library so I don't have to worry if they aren't super quiet!  We checked out lots of books and spent lots of time reading at home this summer too.  I found several beginner chapter books that had short chapters and a pictures every few pages that really held Isaiah's attention.  He never wanted the books to end and was always planning out which days we could read which chapters!  When he knew there was just one chapter left, he was insistent that we'd save it for the next day!  I sure hope that my boys develop my love for reading!  

We also made sure we fit it in our schedule to go see Dan Wardell (the Iowa PBS Kid's guy) when he was at our library.  The kids were amazed to see the guy from TV in person!  He put on a cute show that kept their attention for the entire hour.  
The boys are getting excited for the monthly puppet shows to start back up at the library.  What a great place to go!  We love the library!
