Summer Reading Program Party

This year when the summer reading program was over, they decided to throw a party and announce the winners at that time.

Drumroll please...

"And for the 3-6 age group Matthew read the most minutes!" Over a 1000 in 6 weeks, but I don't remember the exact figures. He was speechless and looked confused. They gently dumped his bag at his feet. He won the bag, 3 hard back books and The Land Before Time movie. What a haul!

They painted and ate yummy foods and made balloon animals. This is Matthew's pink mouse.

They brought an author in to tell them a story. She acted out the story from her first book. Matthew was totally enchanted. It was a great party.

I had wondered what that pink item was that Matthew had been holding in the hose shots. It is cute. I am really impressed by how many different things you can find to engage Matthew. Plus delighted he can also entertain himself with digging or... Good job on the reading minutes!
