It's All My Fault
I am such an enabler!
In my previous post, I talked about how my son reads late into the night and forgets to go to bed.
Tonight I gave him a new book to read. The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. He looked at it reluctantly, but said, "I'll give it a try."
I go into his room at 9 o'clock to turn off his light and he's wide-eyed and breathless. "This is such a good book! I have to read more!" he says.
It's all my fault that he won't go to bed on time.
I need to get him something boring to read at night. Hmmmm... Maybe some of my old marketing textbooks.

Maybe we could have an intervention.
I'll send you my old poly sci texts.
Wow, your house sounds like mine! It's so nice to come across other parents who value things like books and writing over things like television and nintento.
I enjoy reading your blog. :)

Books are such a wonderful way to travel anywhere and imagine anything. Keep up the good work. And I sure liked Marmite's story about your package that arrived there recently, Brian the postman seems to be very nosy. Just wait till the tube with the stick arrives from GreenLib and I, the postal community will never be the same.
Sorry, I tried to write The Stickman in at the last moment and couldn't. Anyway, I figured you would figure it out anyway. The Stickman
Maybe you need to start bedtime at 5pm.
Anyway, it's a great 'problem' to have.
