Mr. Reader

All my posts are about Gavin lately. Well, Gavin won an iPod (or bike or Scooter, but he already has those) from School for all his reading he has done this year. He has been great about it and had grown so much this year in his reading. He can just sit down and read a Berenstain Bear book now without hardly any help and in about 20 minutes. He loves to buy new books and gets excited to read new books he gets. We are so proud of him.

Reading

At the beginning of Summer, Gavin found a pack of books at Costco that he had to have, so we made a deal with him that if he read everyday for 2 weeks, he could have the books! After a lot of trial and error, he finally hit his goal of reading everyday for 2 weeks in July, so he earned his books! He is becoming quite the reader!

The Reading Nook

A couple years ago (literally) after Gavin turned 1 we went to Ikea and bought this cute little 2 seater table.  We got it for a good price and thought one day we would have a play room or something for the kids to use it for reading and homework.  Well, 2+ years later, we finally made room in the boys room for a reading nook and today got it all put together and the final touches on it:)

End product, with table and chairs, (spice racks) book shelves and "read" letters. The boys (and I) love it!

Look at my cute little reader! He likes to read his books upside down! It is still super cute.

And don't mind his right eye in this picture. We can't get him in until the 10th of AUGUST regarding his clogged tear duct...Dangit! Eventually...
