I walked by the girls' bedrooms yesterday. Dwayne was putting the last coat of pink on Norah's walls and whistling to the song that happened to be on the radio: Tattoo by Jordan Sparks. This scene was extremely funny to me, but also very endearing. Pink paint on his work pants today, Jordan Sparks melodies tomorrow... I pray he will always be real and relevant like this to his little women.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
