Fun Facts

Ethan was able to move his reading level up over the Christmas break.  He is he reading more fluently and reading longer books.  But the reason he is so excited is that the new reading level opened up a lot more books that he can check out in the library.  Unfortunately, this guy will only check out NON-FICTION!   I am so tired of listening to books about sharks, snakes, cougars, eagles, etc! 

The boy is turning into a little encyclopedia.  The other night, while looking at a shark book, he said, "Do you think this is a remora?"  "Ughhhh (silent pause and look to Nate...who gave me the same look) what do you think, Buddy?"  "I think it is" he said.  Apparently, a remora is a suckerfish that lives on sharks. 

I begged him to bring a fiction book home tonight and he sighed and said ok!  Such sacrifice!
