As part of our Summer O' Fun, Campbell wanted to make sure that we got our library cards so that she could get some books. We have stopped purchasing her new books because she reads them too fast. Yesterday the kids and I went to the local library to get our cards and check out a couple of books.
Caleb, Campbell and I each got our own library cards. We each got to choose from three designs: a rock formation, a statue, or hot air balloons. We all chose the balloons. In hindsight we should have each chosen a different design, but we all liked the balloons. Though, Caleb was very upset when he discovered that it was just a picture of a hot air balloon and not an actual balloon.
After a minor meltdown over the balloon we headed back to the children's reading section. I sent Campbell to the juniors section with explicit instructions to get a large book, nothing under 200 pages. Caleb settled on two books and a movie. Campbell found a book from historical fiction section, her favorite genre. The book was 273 pages long. I figured we would be good for maybe a week with that.
I now stand corrected. As of today she has completely read the book. TWICE. I know she has read it because I made her give me a summary and she did a great job with it. At this rate she is going to finish every last book in the library before summer is over!
