Diary of a Wimpy Mom

I've been reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (at Braylon's suggestion) and I must say, I'm really enjoying them. Probably too much, which likely denotes about where my maturity level is. I have to say, though, I love that Braylon is such an avid reader. For his birthday last week he only asked for books. Every day coming off of the school bus, his Nana says he always has a book in his hand. At night before bed, I usually have to tell him to go to sleep otherwise he'll be tired the next day. I think he'd stay up until 11 p.m. on school nights reading if I didn't nudge him to sleep.

It does my heart good to see such passion for reading in him. And if reading children's literature is something I can do to encourage him even more, then bring it on!

By the way, I've read some most wonderful children's novels in the past couple of years. The works on the market today are WAY better than what I remember reading as a kid.
