Damn Scholastic Book Club!
My son wants the Scholastic Book Club collection of Magic Tree House books. 28 books! Including research books! I just bought him a collection of 4. Now he goes to 28. That's quite the jump.
I can't say no to this. I will buy him the books. I will not buy him toys. I've explained that toys are for Christmas and birthdays. Books? How could I say 'NO' to books? We have some of our best conversations over stuff he reads about in the Magic Tree House books! This collection is only $39.95. He will get the books. After we've built the rocket and after we've opened the weather science kit he's got.
I love being a Mom. I really, really do.

Oh, man. Doesn't that make you know you did something right? the kid WANTS to read. Awesome.
That is awesome. And I'm jealous. I'm sure I'd love the Scholastic books myself. And the rocket. And the weather station. Stuff like this is wonderful; keep it up.
