We love SkippyjonJones! John-Robert got his book order in from school, I ordered him these books about SkippyjonJones- a Siamese kitten, written by Judy Schachner.
A. because John-Robert loves animals (especially kittens) and
B. because the front covers were so cute.
These books are about a Siamese kitten that wants to be a Chihuahua! So... I'm reading this book (with my best Latin accent- ha!) to the family @ the dinner table last night because
A. John-Robert was incessantly asking me to and
B. I'm on my new diet & finish dinner WAY earlier than the rest of the clan.
I told John-Robert I would read as long as he sat still in his chair & ate his spaghetti- I think I've found a trick. The boy stayed in his chair (miraculous) and ate all of his spaghetti (doubly miraculous). In addition- because he stayed in his chair & ate his dinner I didn't have
A. spaghetti fingers all over my house and
B. he wasn't starving @ bed time.
Think we may be on to something...
