Before the Spring break, the school where my Burritos goes hosted their Annual Book Fair, partnering with Scholastic. I like the slogan of Scholastic which says "Read Everyday, Lead a Better Life". Parents were invited to come to help the little ones in picking the books that they want to buy. I only gave my kids $10 each but I ended up paying $50 more for both of them which I don't mind because I like books myself. I prefer to buy them books over toys.
As expected, Mr. Burrito chose a book about Hot Wheels. He said that it would help him familiarize of his collection so I was convinced and bought it for him. Ms. Burrito on the other hand, got two science books and an animal book. Her teacher was surprised that she chose those books as those are for higher graders. I wasn't surprise at all as I know that she loves anything about Science she takes that from my husband who also love Science.
I know that I am very hard on my kids sometimes but you know, I don't regret it because I know along the way, they would learn the things they need to. I am the disciplinarian at home, my husband is a happy go lucky guy who is always my kids best friend. I think, I got my father's way of raising us when we were kids.
My son complains sometimes when I let him sit and read but it paid off as he was awarded for an outstanding reading ability. Since then, he is inspired to read everyday without me telling him.
For the fun part, here's my Burritos being goof balls, literally as she put the ball inside her dress lol.
Have a peaceful and safe Easter Celebration to all.
