Room Done!

In a feat that surprised even me, I managed to get the basement cleaned and re-organized, her art drawers in the living room cleaned out and organized and her room straightened.

I would like to purchase two small, cheap bookcases.  One will go in the basement and the other in the living room.  Right now I have her books in a bin, but she won't pull books out very often.  She pulls books of her shelves in her room every day.  I'm not sure what the difference is, but bookcases are cheap.

We watched the Magic School bus DVD I checked out from the library.  It has three episodes about space and stars.  We watched the first two last night.  As she awoke this morning she grinned at me and giggled, saying, "That magic bus silly."  It would seem it was a hit.

I will have to check out some the books as well to see if they are age appropriate.  We struggle with age appropriateness.  Most of the books she likes are on a second grade reading level.  She is starting to spell three letter words in the iPad game she plays with.  She pretends to read all the time.  Here's my prediction.  By this time next year, she will be reading beginner books.
