Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Aaron celebrated his 7th birthday about a month ago and for his birthday he received a gift certificate to Walmart. I took him to pick out his present. He passed the toys, the Wii games, the sports section, and went straight to the books. Aaron used his birthday money to buy Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. It is a novel in cartoons...and the cartoons are hilarious!


A month later, Aaron has finished all 4 books and he loved them. I have not read them yet...but I do know that they are great books because here's the proof:

Aaron did not get his love of reading from Eric...this trait definitely comes from me. I have seen Eric finish maybe 2 books in the 11 years that we have been together (including text books when he was in school). When Aaron brought these books home, Eric picked one up and started reading. That night, Aaron took his book to read in bed. When Aaron was asleep, Eric sneaked quietly down to his room and took the book, brought it up to our bed, and finished it that night. I was amazed that he was reading in bed...but then I got a little annoyed because his laughing kept waking me up...apparently it's a pretty funny book. Now for Eric to go to those extremes to read a book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid has GOT to be fantastic!

Taylor is a big reader. she reads 2-3 books a week, depending on how many pages/chapters there are. We only let her read 1, sometimes 2 chapters in bed, but once in awhile I see her lamp turn on in the middle of the night. We may have to read these books and Trevor will be interested.

Watch the movie too, if you haven't yet. I give it a thumbs up!
