Reading Ribbon

Since it's summer and we're always looking for things to do, especially on rainy days when we can't swim, I decided to introduce Cody to the library. I knew Cody would love it, he has always loved reading books.

They have a summer reading program going on at the library and all the kids are signed up for it. When we were signing them up, Cody asked if he could be signed up too. I thought it was only for school aged kids but the librarian said as long as someone is reading to him, he's more than welcome to participate!

She must have known if you tell a three year old no, there might be a loud meltdown so it's better to just let them receive a reading packet as well.

The summer reading program goes like this...

Every time you read 8 books, or 8 hours, or 800 pages, you get to enter your name in for a drawing.

The first time you accomplish this goal, you receive a ribbon.

A few days ago we turned in Cody's reading log and he received his ribbon. The child could not have been happier!


He loves checking out books and getting to play on the computers while we're there. Now he comes home and wants to read so he can turn in a new reading log every time we go back. He has already asked me three times this week if we could hang out at the library.

What's even better, is Cade loves the library too. He can walk around, grab books off the shelf, and sit and have someone read to him...as many books as he wants.

And then the librarian has to re-shelf them, not me!!!
