100 Books!

     As of today, Laura and I have officially read 100 chapter books together! And before her 6th birthday, too! Last year around this time I decided to write a blog post to keep track of all the books we have read, and it was around then that I found the wonder that is goodreads.com. I am able to keep track of all the books we have read, all the books I would like to read together, and I even spent a day tediously putting them into a loose, age-appropriate order that I thought would be good (in some instances to coordinate with homeschooling units/ themes/ trips I would like to take, etc).
I'm really proud of her ability to sit and stay focused on something like this. She absolutely loves storytelling in all of its forms. She deeply analyzes shows and movies, is mesmerized by live productions, and really enjoys listening to out-loud stories.
She is really coming along with her own reading, too, and once she has that down pat, I'm guessing she and books will be inseparable. I sure love my little bookworm!
