Keegan's New Interest (YAY!!)

Keegan was tempted by a "dare" from Chris.. or a proposition.. not sure exactly what to call it. We went to a book store a couple of weeks ago, and Keegan was picking out more chapter books "for Mommy to read" to them at night. Chris said.. "If you read an entire chapter book in 48 hours, I'll buy you a Nook!" Keegan cried, explained how that was impossible, and something he could NEVER do! So unfair, bla bla bla. Well, ya-all know Keegan, if he's anything, he's determined! He read an entire Magic Treehouse chapter book in 24 hours! Guess what... Mommy and Daddy went out Nook shopping that weekend. For whatever reason, they joy of reading clicked in his brain, and he's become a book worm! It's wonderful. He's downloaded three chapter books on his Nook so far, and he's read TWO of them. (And he's told us all about them, so the comprehension is there too!) He's on his third! Nonny got him a Barnes & Noble "e-card" so he could pick out and buy/download his own books-- and he's even mentioned that he's asking for B&N giftcards as future gifts! I SURE hope it sticks because I never thought the day would come. (I have actually started reading a Nook Book myself!)
