My little kindergartener...

So Colin is really into reading books when he gets home, about 5 at a time, which as teachers, mommy and daddy love! He is making it clear to us though, that just because he is reading books, he does not want to go to bed! We always read books before he goes to bed so this idea of reading any other time throws him off.  He just wants me to know that it is not bedtime yet! 

In kindergarten, one of the CA state standards is that children can recognize the front and back covers and the author and illustrator.  I know he will not be testing for kindergarten for another two years, but I just like to keep him sharp, you know?! So I always tell him, "Colin, the author of this book is [insert author's name], that means he/she wrote the book." So yesterday while I was reading him I Promise I'll Find You (one of my new faves!!) I said this is the author, and he replied nonchalantly, "that means they wrote the book." What a proud mommy moment!!
