Palmer and I have been reading faithfully every day to fulfill his 20 minute requirement for school. We had read some really great books together already. We had read the abridged Peter Pan, Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland (seriously crazy book), Through the Looking Glass, Pinoccio, Doctor Doolittle and are currently reading Pippi Longstocking. It is something I look forward to as much as he does.
He is given a chart to fill out every month and he turned in his first one last week. He was rewarded with a gift certificate from Pizza Hut for a "personal pan pizza." We got pizza last night and it was so fun to see how proud he was of his accomplishment. I know there will be many of these to come (especially since Lincoln and Hunter want to start their own 20 minute programs), but I am so proud of Palmer and his determination. I think it was the best tasting pizza he has ever eaten, because he earned it himself.

I remember those days! Personal pan pizza and everything. I'm so glad that you love to read, Emily. That is a great gift that we can pass along to our children.
Love and Hugs!!
