Family Reading Night(s)

We love to read at our house.  So when an event comes up that showcases reading, we are so there! A few weeks ago Avery had a reading event at her school. My mom took her because I had to take Will to his basketball banquet. So no pics. Boo!

Last night was Family Reading Night at Will’s school. We jetted over after dance…well, we walked over. The whole walk Will was giving Avery all the scoop on elementary school and kindergarten. Even showing her how to write her name in the dirt on the track.

 

There were 4 stations to visit: a presentation in the library, read with a therapy dog, visit with Muddy the Mudcat and read with a firefighter, NCSU athlete and/or a policeman.

Well, the NCSU athlete bailed at the last minute but another nice young teenager who said he played soccer with the Y when he was 5 read to the kids. It was great!

Visiting with our old pal, Muddy!

 

My favorite part of the evening was reading with the therapy dog. There were several dogs there and while we got to meet the giant poodle, Will actually got to read to the golden retriever, Jake.  This was special because Aunt Greta’s dog also is a therapy dog and reads with children. Too bad Beatrice wasn’t there!

Jake was so sweet and very well-behaved. Will kept commenting on how good he was trained. I guess that isn’t saying much about Lindy and Stella!!!!
