Eli's school did a thing called a "reading restaurant" where they invited one person to come and then instead of serving them food, they served three courses of books, an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. They even had a menu to choose from. Eli had a cute chef hat and we all sat at special tables in the library. It was SO cute. The kids picked the books in advance and prepared. I was so honored that Eli chose ME to come to his big event.
Here he is, delighted to wave to me.
I am so proud of Eli. He is reading at a 3-4 grade level and he reads all the time, for fun! We have a personally created summer reading program and he is literally burning through the books right now. He's such a cute little guy, so eager to be good, to be smart, to be a helper. He's a great older brother and I can't say enough good things about him. He is my sensitive, bright little pride and joy. He has lost four teeth and his fourth is almost all the way in. I think the only problem I have is that he's growing up way too fast. They did an awards banquet for school and he got a gazillion awards. He's just so smart. He got straight As, lowest grade of 96 this year. What a smarty pants. I literally have to go in at 9 pm and take his books away and turn out his lights. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
