JDaniel and I read at least an hour a day together. He also “reads” some on his own too. It was really easy for us to complete the first ten hours of our library’s systems reading program. I think the librarians would have been surprised at how fast we completed them. Thankfully we went to visit my mother-in-law out of town and the library is closed on Sundays. It looked like it took us longer to complete.
As you can see we have spent a lot of time in the library. There has been one additional reason for visiting frequently. JDaniel loves a DVD called Garbage Monsters. I am really not interested in watching garbage being recycled and moved around the dump over and over again. ( It was a relief after watching Thomas the Train for months. I like Thomas too. I just don’t like watching him over and over again.) We returned Garbage Monsters after having it out for two weeks a month ago. Every week since we returned it we have checked the shelf it is housed on regularly. It was finally there. We have it back for two weeks. After that, I am thinking that there is a child somewhere in Greenville that really needs to have it visit their house.
LOL! Isn’t it funny how kids just become attached to ONE MOVIE and want to watch it over and over and over??? Ugh! Great job on all the reading! That is a lifetime love of mine and all my kids too!
I love our library’s summer reading program. It’s had a huge influence on developing our kids’ interest in reading over the years. I’m glad that even with recent budget cuts, the library has kept it up…

I love summer visits to the library! Libraries are great! Oh…my son would love that garbage monsters video..we may have to look for it over here.
We’ve just started to visit the library now that Gunnar is REALLY into books. I wish they had a program like that here!
Don’t you love the way kids refuse to tire of something long after we adults are ready for change? Be it books, videos, bedtime stories or songs- they love the repetition.
Hi, These reading programs are brilliant. What a little cutie he is. I’ve missed checking in on you guys. My old computer was such a dog, I would dread surfing the web. My new one is nice and cooperative (for the time being anyway) Your page sure looks fantastic. Wishing you a wonderful summer. Keri, p.s. come and enter my giveaway. The odds of winning are exceptionally good (unfortunatly) Take care,
Reading with your child is such an important thing to do. Jillian loves to read, Matt not so much…but he is getting better.
lol, we watch alot of Thomas too!!!
At least now, Broxton is enjoying watching “Chuggington”
The library is always a fun and good place to visit and learn. I remember the Library and my visits from long ago – cherish the memories
