Chase has Caught the Reading Bug!

Just about every week we go to the library to check books out and play on the computer. At the beginning of the summer when we went, they were signing kids up for a summer reading program. The theme was "Catch the Reading Bug".
For Chase's age you had to visit the library 4 times and read at least 8 books...if you read at least 20 you got a special prize! I immediately signed Chase up for the reading program and we had no problem reading 20 books seeing as I usually check out about 15 for him everytime we go. I'm really such a sucker for children's books and I enjoy reading books to Chase. We usually read a book or two before bedtime. He loves to sit and listen to the books. Yep, Chase will actually sit still through tons of books...he loves them!
Anyway, this past week we completed the reading program. We read 20+ books and went to the library 4 times. At our last visit we turned in Chase's booklet and he recieved his awards! He got a stuffed lady bug, a coupon book (free chicken nuggets, free krispy kreme doughnuts, and more!), a certificate that says "Chase has caught the reading bug!", and a little medal to wear that says "I'm a bookworm"! He was quite excited (and so was I!) =)

That is a really cool program! Avery loves books too. Hopefully they both will continue down this road... There is a lot of reading in their future for sure. He is a cute boy.
