Not quite James Bond
Last night at about 9pm, we heard Em talking up a storm in her room. My husband snuck back to listen to what she was saying, to be sure she wasn’t upset or crying.
He heard Em gleefully exclaim, “Ryan has carrot sticks up his nose!” We recognized this at once. It was from Mrs. Roopy Is Loopy by Dan Gutman, one of the My Weird School books that she keeps on her bedside table. She also has a little flashlight there that she uses when she’s pretending that all her dolls are lost under the blankets.

Wow .. what memories. I was also a flashlight under the covers reader. But my mom wasn’t as nifty as you and would have fits when she caught me reading instead of sleeping.
Sooo.. the next stage was to create a reading “nest” in the bottom of my closet where I would hide and read. ::smiles:: That was actually the best reading spot I ever had.

What a great way to read a good book! I’m glad Emily is a reader.
