Kacia's New Obsession

Kacia is absolutely obsessed with reading! So as far as obsessions go, this seems to be a pretty good one! It all started last week. Kevin & I went to her conference at school, (at which the teacher informed us that she is "perfect"- she honestly said that word more than 3 times, at which Kevin and I said she is most definetely not perfect, but at least she can behave well at school!) and then we stopped by the book fair on our way out. We got her a little princess chapter book and Rylin a new Fancy Nancy book, and then headed home.

It was about 4 when we got home and gave the girls their new books. Kacia sat and read that book for hours! I am not exaggerating! We had to take a break for dinner and for Girl Scouts, and when we returned she wanted to read more, she even hid the book under her pillow at one point (sneakiness is clearly not perfection!). She was disappointed that I made her go to bed before she finished it, but I assured her that 7 chapters was a lot of reading in 1 day, and she only needed to read 3 more tomorrow in order to finish the book in 2 days!

She took the book to school, and by the time I had picked her up, she had finished the book and started it over. She read the book twice in 3 days, at which point I was finally able to encourage her to pick up a different book!

I have to say that I am loving this new skill! It is such a quiet one!! And when she wants to go in her room to read, Rylin wants to too! It is absolutely wonderful!

So she has one very, very loose tooth and 3 more that will be getting close, so she is hoping that the Tooth Fairy may want to bring the rest of the books in the series and the Tooth Fairy thinks that is a great idea (and just got done ordering them from Amazon)!
