Book Day

Quinn dubbed today, January 20th, 2009 "Giving a Book Party" day. In commemoration, he chose a very LARGE Michael Creighton novel and put it in his backpack to give to his teacher. He also brought three homemade cards to give her as well. I suggested he maybe SHOW her his dad's book (he tried to take one of mine- I nixed that idea) and then bring it back home, but he insisted that it was GIVING a Book Party Day, not SHOWING a Book Party Day. We'll see what makes it home this afternoon. It was too cute to say no, and I was secretly pleased that he wanted to GIVE something away. At Christmas that was a hard concept, as he kept wanting to KEEP everything we were giving to others.

ADDENDUM: Just got a call from Quinn's teacher, who was rather confused about the whole "Book Giving Party Day" thing. SHOULD she keep the book? I told her she could if she wanted to, otherwise, I would pick it up on Thursday when I came to visit the classroom. What about the three cards? One was addressed to Grandma Betty? I told her that Quinn chose to give her all three cards, and she was welcome to keep them, including Grandma Betty's. We would make another one for Grandma. I was laughing - Quinn's teacher wasn't. I think she thinks we live in a crazy house over here. She would be right.
