I would like to share with you one thing Charlie’s grandmother used to do for Charlie. Granny Sherry would purchase books for Charlie when I was homeschooling him.
Having her do this was nice as I didn’t always have the money to purchase new books for Charlie. So the other day Charlie mentioned he missed getting books from his grandmother, but now that Charlie has returned school she hasn’t purchased any new for Charlie in a long time.
The other day when Charlie and I went to the store, Charlie asked if he could look at the books as he would like a new chapter book. I reminded Charlie of all the books we had in our home and that he should read some of them before we purchase new books.
Not, that I didn’t want to purchase more books for Charlie, I just wanted him to become more aware of the things he has and use them instead of wanting new things all the time and once he gets them putting them on a shelf and never using them again.
Once we returned home, Charlie and I went through the closet and found some of the Fly Guy books we used to read. Then Charlie went into the front room to read them. For hours I didn’t hear a peep out of Charlie as he was lost inside the story.
Easter is this weekend I plan on going to the local bookstore and picking out some new chapter books for Charlie. I hope they have some of Fly Guy books in as last time we went to look they only had one which Charlie already had.
This morning as I was going through emails I received a newsletter from 3 Boys and A Dog showcasing what she had on her blog this week. One of the items she mentioned was a coloring sheet for children based on the Fly Guy series and it was a coloring sheet called A Pet For Fly Guy which I plan on putting inside Charlies Easter Basket.
Since I was going to use it, I thought you might want to check out her website as well as I am sure you will find some cute and unique items you and your children can do together.
