Making Connections

The boys are become more challenging every day and you really have to continually step up your game if you wish to keep up with them. When they were small, I could recite the Gettysburg Address while turning pages to their children’s books, and they wouldn’t have known the difference. Today, that wouldn’t work. These boys are sharp. They are making the connection between the characters they know from TV and movies to those we read about in their books. Their memories are sharp, and they remember details. If you mispronounce a name, they correct you. While you are reading, they will point out and name each character on every page. It is all starting to come together for them and unravel for me.  I’ve got to get the story straight or face being corrected by three year olds.
