Em and I have often discussed Tommy’s reading habits. He loves reading–we hope it’s part-hereditary, part-learned. (No, I’m not saying that he’s gifted. Do not misinterpret this post.) So what’s a day in Tommy’s library like? What books would he ask us to read him in a typical day? I decided to catalog Saturday as an experiment to see what he’d read in a given day. These books were all picked by him when he felt like reading, and we didn’t turn any way. (Believe me, on any given day, we’re happy to foist a book on him or reject a book on its third reading.)
One important lesson of this experiment (of note, that is). Because we’ve been snobbish with our book selection (in a good way), Tommy essentially has only a Hobson’s choice (in a good way): whatever book he picks is guaranteed to be a good book! And, it’s important for our sanity to read only good books aloud!
We hope to repeat this experiment every several months. Then Tommy will have a little record in the future!
