There was a Read-a-thon a few weeks ago at Brayden's school, and for whatever reason, Brayden was not interested in participating. And frankly, I didn't push him because I already make him read every night, he loves reading, and it was just one more envelope that this new school wanted me to stuff with money! Well it turned out that one of his friends in his class was one of the finalists and got a limo ride to Peter Piper Pizza as reward. This friend read for about 40 minutes a night for a few weeks. When Brayden found out, he was so disappointed in himself that he didn't participate, and vowed to sign up for anything and everything from here on out! He came home and read for two hours straight for three days in a row, then he decided to read every book in our entire house which turned out to be 76 books. Man, this kid is somethin else!
