I'm sure that's part of the reason he's such a good reader. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments. You inspire me often, too. It's easy enough being the parent of one child, and I think I could even handle two fairly easily, but I'm pretty sure three AND pregnancy would take everything out of me and not leave me time for much else. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do half of what you do.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293061389899796622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347534217813684595.post-28507031772586370282013-01-25T01:05:10.942-06:002013-01-25T01:05:10.942-06:00I have to check out those Skippy Jon Jones for my ...I have to check out those Skippy Jon Jones for my sons. They recently started with the Magic Tree House series as well, and they were read in no time...now I'm on a mission to find the next ones...used:)<br /><br />I know that I've told you before, but I am still very impressed with your son's reading level. <br /><br />For Christmas each of our boys got a huge box with used books, and finally...finally my boys are reading without having to be asked. My 10-year-old, who I had almost lost hope for would rather read than watch tv these days, and I love it. <br /><br />I try to go to our local thrift store at least once a month to check out their book collection, and right now I am looking for books for the boys' birthdays.<br /><br />Keep up the great encouragement Carla, you inspire me....J Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343780270541725148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347534217813684595.post-6453251182172902052013-01-23T23:00:03.625-06:002013-01-23T23:00:03.625-06:00Yeah,he wouldn't want any of his friends to kn...Yeah,he wouldn't want any of his friends to know about it even if he did read one of the series that he considers to be "girly."<br /><br />The Skippyjon Jones books seem to be popular among most of the elementary students at my son's school, boys and girls from kindergarten up through about fourth grade probably. We ended up buying all 3 that they still had available when I realized that Kohl's had them for a while as part of the Kohl's Cares collection. He has read them all three several times since Christmas, and he's even loaned them out at school to his friends for their seat sacks at school (so they can't take them home, but can read them when they are done working on something, or during independent reading time).Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293061389899796622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347534217813684595.post-30244820971195022662013-01-23T22:04:55.732-06:002013-01-23T22:04:55.732-06:00Those Skippy Jon Jones books are a huge hit!

She also loves Dear Dumb Diary and Junie B Jones, but I'm not sure those are some your son would like lol. Theresa Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709965543595065306noreply@blogger.com
