Caitrin reads aloud

...which continues to be remarkable. She read late (age 9) and is 10 now. She completed her first novel last week (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and moved right into Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (She's not a fan of the second book... I've read them all aloud so she knows the stories well.)

Jacob, resident HP expert in the family, asked her to read to him. She uses a British accent. That's Rocky relaxing in the background.

Edited to add: The seventh book's cover was unveiled today!! Check out my other blog for cover illustrations.

We rode bikes and found these wonderful bird houses all hanging together outside someone's home. Couldn't resist this one for the 365 blog.
