is…..reading. #goodthinghedoesntgetcarsickeh?

Yep, we have 99 cent thriftstore bin that has a permanent residence in the middle back seat, full of various books both fiction and nonfiction and Nolan spends pretty much all of every car ride anywhere, whether short or long, reading silently to himself. He’s been doing this for the past 6 months or so, since about a few months past turning 5 years old. He really does love to read!

Which reminds me of a funny story, maybe I’ve told it before- that when Nolan was like, oh I don’t know, 4 months old, I was ALARMED when my baby would NOT sit still to let me read him a book! I thought to myself, ‘what’s wrong with my child? He has ADD! He’s going to hate to read! This is terrible!’

Hilarious to reflect on now. What was I thinking? 4 months old man, c’mon! #firsttimeparentsyndrome

Current nonfiction:
children encyclopedia stuff on nature, the earth, the human body, natural disasters, space etc.

Current fiction:
Various kids books- berenstein bears, etc. and Geronimo Stilton series.

It is just our personal family choice that video games are not allowed in our home (or car!) :)-
