He Finally Gets It

We started our day off today by heading the Urgent Care to have Chris's hand looked at. It turned out to be fine and the doctor declared it was just sprained. She gave him a brace and sent him on his merry way. One cool thing about the visit was that the x-ray technician gave Chris a copy of his x-rays! Chris asked for a copy and we thought she was just going to print them on an 8x10 piece of paper. I have to say that it is pretty cool. Of course Chris can't wait for his next special day at school to show all the kids in his class.

We then headed to the mall to get lunch. Walden Books has a table set up in the middle of the mall with cheaper books. As we were walking by I saw this

Remembering my mom told me these were great books to learn to read I picked it up. Chris read the first couple pages to me and I bought the book.

After dinner we sat down and read the first book in our compilation.

I love the book. The words constantly repeat themselves and the words in the book were the same words Chris is learning in school. But the best thing about the book is the pictures. Chris and I laughed and laughed at the pictures. The book kept his interest, he was excited to turn the page and he wanted to read more and more. Sounds to me like a good book. What more could a 6 year old want from a book?
