Reading Day at School

Today I went to Nolan's school to read a story to his class. They have been extra focused on reading this week, and today was Bring a Family Member to Read day.

I chose Toy Boat by Randall de Seve - a delightful story about a little toy boat that gets lost and then reunited with the boy who made it.

The kids were very attentive and sweet. I think I agree a bit with people who say girls mature faster than boys - the boys were uproarious with laughter at my very silly jokes, while at the same time the girls looked at me as if I were completely insane (Sample silly joke - Hi, I'm Nolan's Dad. Oh wait, I'm Nolan's baby!).

After the story was done, Nolan gave the book to his teacher to keep (yesterday was Give Your Teacher a Book Day, but I combined that with today's experience instead).



I also took him to get his very first library card this week. We had such a good time at the library! He wanted to get a Curious George book, so we looked it up together on the computer and then went to the right section. He ended up checking out three Curious George books and we promptly read them together the minute we walked through the door to our house.
