Given that today — another sick day — has been all video games and reading (yesterday we read “Vidia and the Fairy Crown” cover to cover), I think it’s going to be difficult to convince Nefarious to go back to school tomorrow even though she’s feeling much better… But this Friday is my rescheduled pizza lunch at her school, she’d better go! I think Nefarious will definitely grow up to be a reader — we go through tons of books, and she’s enjoying longer and more complex books, which is nice for me. The Disney Fairies series of books has been surprisingly bearable… I’ve promised her that when she goes to visit her mother for about a month this summer that I’ll record her lots of stories so she can listen to them any time she misses reading. That said, at this point she can actually read those books herself, but because she’s not a fast reader yet, it’s better when I do it.
Wonderful snow storm here all day in Toronto by the way… I really hope Nefarious has the energy to go sledding tomorrow. Anyway, now to cook some supper for us.

awesome painting so far….love the mountain man beard too :D
Are you planning on a Forward when the book’s done, to talk about WHY you chose Xanadu and your reasons for the adaptation?
Don’t stop reading to her just because she can read to herself. I enjoyed listening to my dad read to us four boys (spread out over ten years) well into my teens.
You know what, I think Nefarious is the happiest little girl I have ever seen, judging from all your photos :-)
you have to go blind to see it
but audio rules
