1st Book Fair

I love the smell of new books. I love books. I just wish I had more time to read them. But, for what I lack in adult reading I definitely make up in reading to the Kiddo.

Every night we read to Kaje. Around 30 minutes or so. It is kind of our time with him, our special time. Plus it is fun!

Well, Kaje's school was having a Scholastic book fair this week. I didn't even know they did those anymore. Then again I haven't been in grade school in almost 20 years so what do I know anyway. I just had to take him, and on the 1st day Of Course! Couldn't let everyone else get all the good books =)

Mommy picked out these Fab Dinosaur books by Jane Yolan. I think we have almost all of them. They are great! And such a cute idea. The dinosaur is really a child, but I must tell you it works a lot easier when I tell K what to do, and I say what would a Dinosaur do vs saying what does the boy in the story do. We want to be a Dinosaur, not a boy. I also picked up two more Cars Books (always good), a great Singing Monster book, and K picked a book.

The Very Grumpy Bear.

OMG! Too funny! The cranky bear, what a play on a child. It is so funny how many stories are there for parents tucked into little kid books. Kind of like old Disney movies, without the vulgarity =) K and I have visited the Jingle Jangle Jungle (where the cranky bear lives). Everynight this week. He gets so excited to read it, that we have to read it twice. It is just fun =) Oh so fun =)

You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get inside when you eat a hot brownie with ice cream on top, or the way you feel on a Cool Crisp Day when you breath in the cool air and you can almost smell fires burning....

that is how it feels to be a mom...EVERYDAY!
