He Read 139 Pages!

And that’s not 139 pages of pictures or words in large print.  That’s normal sized, normal margins, and no pictures my “little” boy is now reading. 

Thomas came home with this REAL book in his bag and managed to read the entire thing over the weekend.  (There was a lot of rain.)   Since he was at his dad’s house, I was a little skeptical, but he gave me a plot summary with no trouble.

I am impressed.  It wasn’t long ago that he was still sounding out words and reading picture books.  Now it’s novels!  Sometimes it’s hard to remember he’s only 7 when he does things like this.

I can sense many library trips are in store for this summer.
