Thank goodness that Peanut has a good imagination and really enjoys reading. Again this year at school she has to read 2o minutes per day. I never have to force her or even remind her to do this part of her homework. She even reads on weekends.

She is enjoying reading about horses now. One of the series she’s taking a liking to is the Saddle Club Series (Horse Shy, Dream Horse, Rodeo Rider, Horse Trade) (The Saddle Club, 2, 4, 12, 38). She’s not asking for a pony or riding lessons, thank goodness. But she is learning about history, relationships, english saddles, and the adventures that girls her age can have.

One of my favorite things to do with Peanut is for us to read together. We sit close together, both very quiet, maybe eating a snack and get into the story we’re enjoying. It makes me so happy to know that she will have a life long hobby that will always keep her occupied.
