Reading and Writing

Sophia got a chapter book about a cat last year, and she wouldn't put that down.  Since then, she hasn't been that into chapter books. She likes the fast reads.  When her tooth became loose, she decided to read the Junie B. Jones, Toothless Wonder.  She read that book on her own, and when she finished it late one night, she came in our room all excited over it.  The following day I printed this up while she was at school and put it on her bed.  She thought a Reading Fairy left it.  She was so excited.  I couldn't squash that dream so I went with it.  Ever since she got this she has been reading more than ever.  I should have thought of this for Aubrie and Boston!

The same night Ethan asked to get on the  computer.  I checked on him and found him looking at Chinese writing.  Later he came to me with some symbols  he had written,  and asked me to guess what they said.  They said "I Love You"!   Then I found him working on this.  I asked him why he was doing this, and he said, "I'm trying to get ready for my mission!"  Does he know something I don't?
