We Interrupt This Ellie Broadcast...

...to bring you some news about her big brother! Last week I started reading Garrett Charlotte's Web. I wasn't sure he would be able to pay attention to a chapter at a time, but to my surprise he WAS able to and LOVED every minute of it. Our deal was that each day at rest time, I'd read him two chapters, but every day he was begging me to read more!

I had promised him that after we finished the whole book we would watch the movie. Not the new version but the old one - the one I remember watching as a kid. So, on Friday night we ordered pizza, popped popcorn and watched it as a family. It was SO fun! Garrett honestly does not like watching movies or any show over 20 minutes, so I was shocked he loved it so much.

Tonight Garrett asked to borrow some "rope". We obliged, and he scampered off to the playroom. About 20 minutes later he called us in to "see what Charlotte made":

In case you can't tell, he made a spider web and then had his Daddy add the message "Radiant Terrific Pig". Can you see how proud he is of himself? He was SUPER proud!

I love this boy! So, so much it hurts some days.
