The Perfect Storm

Jackson has turned out to be quite the reader—we weren’t sure, at first, he didn’t seem too interested.  In order to get him reading, we had to create our own little “Perfect Storm”—Where, a reader (old palm pilot), a special bedtime (1/2 hour past his bedtime), and Harry Potter all collided to spark the interest of a little boy.  He has finished all of the Roald Dahl books (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, BFG, etc) and is now on chapter ten of Harry Potter.  Way to go Jackson (coming from a proud mama)!  If anyone has some great book suggestions for a youth reader—please let me know!  We are always on the look out.

  1. He can borrow my Pharmacotherapeutics book for this semester... You'll lose the "30-min past bedtime" reading perk though because it will put him out in 5.
