Audrey's Choice

Audrey has some free time after dinner tonight. This is how she's choosing to spend it. Dad's heart is warmed.

Audrey actually reads a ton but she seems to associate reading with bedtime. She'll read from the time she gets in bed until we tell her to stop. And then sneak some more reading. It's nice to see her choosing to do it at another time even when electronic options are available.

Part of Audrey's homework currently is to read a chapter of a book and then write a "gist". The other night I asked her to read a couple of pages out loud to me. Then I asked her what it said. I expected a brief summary but she proceeded to recite the entire thing back to me almost word for word. My jaw dropped.
