Susan is sitting on the sofa flipping through Little House in the Big Woods right now. My heart be still, might she actually read it? I’m not going to say a thing to her. I don’t want to ruin the moment by making it my idea.
Within the last week she’s read two Babymouse books, which are cute as far as kid books go, but it’s no Little House classic. I keep sneaking peeks to her behind me… and it looks like the book is open to chapter one.
Uh-oh, she’s off again, the book left behind. Oh, well. At least she actually picked it up off the shelf.

She’ll get there. Isn’t it fun to watch them “get” reading?
Yup, I’m so glad it’s me who gets to witness these ah-ha moments. Makes the rough spots of HS worth it.
Hiya Monica! Thanks for the note on the FIRST blog. I had one other person email me the same thing. I asked my assitant director, Bonnie, and she was able to see it on both IE and Firefox. She said the problem may be that you need to delete your cache and restart your computer. Sometimes they just overload and you get stuck in a loop or something. Anyway, thanks again!
My son, 11, has read the first two Little House Books and loved them. (I homeschool) We will be reading the entire series together eventually…he was most interested when she explained how they made cheese. LOL. Such awesome books! We are also renting all the Little House Seasons from Blockbuster.com. Both my boys (6, 11) love them.
