Oy! Ask before you borrow my books!

I was putting Mimi to bed and after settling her down I wandered back downstairs to find Dino curled up on the sofa with a guinea pig on his lap, Bruce Parry on the telly and the first Harry Potter open in one hand……

"You’re right Mum, there’s loads in the book that wasn’t in the film isn’t there…"

emoticon  I have a child voluntarily reading! He’s been eyeing up the HP’s for a while now and I don’t mind really but we did have a short chat about there being some books in the house that really aren’t for him yet and he could do with just asking - but that also I will never deny him a book without a good reason.

I am soooo proud.

  1. *big grin* - because we’ve had similar in the last few weeks. We had a power outage one Saturday afternoon/evening, and in the absence of any other entertainment, I began to read the first HP aloud - J is completely familiar with the movies (how could he not be, with all the obsessed older brothers? LOL) but after the first chapter he was transfixed. And since then, he’s been picking up everything he can get his hands on and reading…and reading…and reading :-)
