Today, I took my children to Barnes and Noble to get them each a book. I was looking for Starfish, by Edith Thacher Hurd for my son. They did not have the book in the store, so I told him he could choose another book from the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out series. He looked at a few of the books and then he told me, “Mommy, I want a real science book. One where you do science.” I told him he was welcome to look at the books on the shelf.

A little while later, he was holding two DK books in his hand, Nature Ranger and Rock & Fossil Hunter. We bought the first and I told him we could get the other one when he finishes Kindergarten.

He is so excited about his new book. He informed me that tomorrow we need to make sure he has all of the supplies. He told his dad and me about a bunch of the different activities in the book. I looked through it and I believe that my son discovered an excellent book.

Dear God, please help my husband and me to follow through on doing the activities in the book with our son.
