We have been trying to get over the loss of the two totes of books that were left behind in Mississippi. Luckily a great friend in Mississippi introduced me to Scholastic book ordering. We then started a tradition of ordering books on a monthly basis. Since the preschool the boy's attend does the Scholastic books we thankfully we can start getting a stack of books each month to fill up our bookshelf. We just received our first stack which the boy's were so excited for because they were able to pick out some books from the flyers. To top off our excitement of having lots of books, that same great friend and her family sent the boy's a birthday package full of what? Of course books! Her husband says that, "books are an investment to a child's future." I second that! Anyways, I have spent the last several days reading books. Did I forget to mention that each week when we go to storytime we also get a stack of books. Since the books our friend set where the phonics sets which each have 12 books, Mateo has been insisting that we read all the books in each set. I have been reading Mateo's and Jacob's sets of books each day. (Adan is anxiously awaiting his birthday so he can find out what set of books he got.) I have been averaging about 40 books a day. That doesn't include the books we read at night either. Anyways, Mateo wanted me to take a picture of our new books and let the our wonderful Mississippi friends know how excited we are to have lots of new books. We have also picked out our next month's order from Scholastic!
