Our within-a-whisper-of seven year old celebrated her birthday last night.
Scavenger hunt… sparklers… ice-cream sundaes. A big time.
One of her little buds gave her The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
It is now 5 o’clock PM here in Austin, Texas, and she is reading on the couch.
She is still in her jammies from this morning.
I kid you not…
That’s great! A nice gift for you, too!
I love Hugo Cabret, too.
I love that mental picture, Liz, of your seven-year-old girl reading the day away in her jammies. How beautiful is that?
Pretty beautiful.
And then you shoulda seen her when she opened Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2!!!
(BTW, Jen — I just assigned my new students your Growing Bookworms Newsletter. They should be signing up within the next few days. Thanks for that amazing resource…)
Wow! That’s great, Liz. I will look forward to having your new students on the list. Thanks for sending them my way.
I really have to read those Wimpy Kid books. Well, I don’t really need to read them, because I already know enough to recommend them.
It’s just wild how much they love them. Both my daughters read the first one TWICE. Honest to pete…
