Since we are staying home today, I bought some activities from the craft store for indoor fun. Zoe is working on a weaving kit and I bought Pretlow a book on drawing animals. Vikki is napping, but there is a cute little board book about animals waiting for her when she wakes up.
Pretlow is moving right along with his summer reading. He has 25 books logged, and there are a few books he's read that we haven't yet entered. Fortunately for him, he does not have to wait for Mommy to read to him. Zoe and Victoria, on the other hand, have a paltry 12 books logged. There is nothing entered from June 30 to July 8. Did I really not read to them for 9 days?! (Pretlow reads to Zoe and Vikki, but he also reads in bed, which doesn't help much with the girls.) We'll have to read two books per day to have 50 by the 11th. That does not seem like very much, but it's amazing how quickly each day goes by. Before I know it, it's bedtime and I'm so ready for them to be asleep, and I don't even think about reading a bedtime story. And I know the point is to read throughout the summer, not cram it into the last several days. But I would hate for the girls not to get a certificate. :-( Clearly, though, the summer reading program is having a positive effect. If it weren't for that, who knows how many times (if any) I would read to them!
