Honor and Beasts

GREAT news on the academic front - 

For the first time EVER, Aaron made the honor roll.  (2 B's, the rest A's.)  We are super proud of him.  He set the goal and worked hard.  (plus a little extra prodding and encouragement from parents, but HE DID IT!)

Another great piece of news with Aaron is that he FINALLY found a book (series) that he likes!  He has started reading the Beast Quest Series by Adam Blade.  In the past 3 (maybe 4) weeks he has read 10 books!!!!!  You have NO idea how WONDERFUL this is to me.  Up to this point, I would be hard pressed to think of ONE book that he read, cover to cover, on his own.  Granted, these books are pretty short (under 100 pages) and simple, but that is beside the point.  The point is - that he found something that interests him and that he WANTS to read.  I am praying that this will serve as a springboard to launch him into other books, but regardless of where we go from here - he found a book, read a book, comprehended the storyline of a book, and wanted MORE...   

 

HALLELUJAH!!!!!
