Happy Thanksgiving

For this coming Thanksgiving holiday, the Dad World Blog encourages all dads to spend some quality time with their kids this weekend. We all work really hard during the week, and some of us don't get to spend as much time as we would like with our families. So, for the next four days, we encourage you to get down and dirty with your kids. They miss you. They want your attention. Give it to them. Don't get stressed over all the craziness going on around traveling, cooking, getting the house ready, etc. Just relax and enjoy the time away from work with your family. (Advice for myself, as well as everyone else)

Reading

Rebecca has been on a tear lately, reading every book she can get her little hands on. She's now reading at the G level, which I think is pretty good for a first-grader. We recently took a trip to Boston, and she sat in her car seat reading out loud the entire two and a half hour ride. It was better than listening to the radio, and it kept Joshua content and quiet for the whole trip. A win-win all around.

Jen recently bought a nice comfortable chair for our dining room, with the idea that she will be able to sit and read in it in her downtime (ha!). But whenever she goes for the chair, Rebecca is in it quietly reading her latest Junie B. Jones book. I guess we know who has dibs on the new chair. But no complaints from Jen.
