Readers

The boys got bed tents for Christmas and they love them. They have become a crucial part of many Mario stories the boys act out each night before falling asleep.  
Every now and then we'll find both boys hanging out in Bens bed reading together.  
The boys have a decent collection of books, but Ben is pretty picky about the books he wants to pull out and read on his own.  Prasti discovered Books A Million has an educators discount card so we finally headed up and got one of our own.  While we were there, we found Captain Underpants.  I've seen these books before, but I wasn't sure I wanted Ben to start reading them.  We hear enough potty/underpants talk as it is.  I didn't want to fuel the chatter.  However, if we want Ben to read a book, this is the perfect series to get him going on.  Jon picked The Attack of the Talking Toilets.  He couldn't have picked a more perfect book for the boys.  They thought it was hilarious.  Ben came home and read the first 12 chapters to Sam in one sitting.  They love it.  We have heard a lot of talking toilet jokes, but if it keeps his interest in reading going, I'll take it!
