We LOVE books.
I definitely consider reading one of our top priorities in education and I pray I might instill in the hearts of my children a deep love for reading over the years. Naturally, some will enjoy this valuable tool more than others, so when the library is hosting summer reading incentive programs I jump at the chance to participate.
It's encouraging to see even my kids who've historically been more resistant to read (mainly because it's a challenge) perk up and READ and READ and READ simply because there's a bookmark reading log and reward in sight.
Genius!
I'm not huge on charts and the like, but when the librarian handles the painstaking details,
I'm in.
(Thanks for the ever-rare "Mom in action" photo, Brodie! Ha! Can you just feeeel the pearls of perspiration as I PRAY my tribe of children doesn't completely obliterate the serenity that IS the library with our less than ambiguous presence?? Ahh...the exhale that takes place when we ALL make it safely {and quietly} out the front door.)
Though, I do love the library.
And, who knew a kid's meal at Rubio's could bolster such discipline?!
There's something to be said for charting progress and this summer we've found the library summer reading program to be just what we've needed to kick start a new school year filled with enthusiasm to read.
For most of us anyway...This guy prefers to rearrange the library's landscaping!
Thanks, library!
Thanks, Rubio's!

with their VERY OWN kids meal right after our big day in court. It was really fun!)
