Coffeetime Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My DS10 has officially finished reading both The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring! So tonight, he and I get to cuddle up on the couch and watch the Fellowship movie. :D (That was always the deal, he would be allowed to watch the movies once he'd read the books). This kid was my non-reader, and this year he's finally caught the reading bug. He picked up both books on his own, and finished them both in less than 2 months. I wasn't sure he'd ever learn to love reading, so I am, of course, thrilled. :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeetime Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for celebrating with me! :) He was such a reluctant reader for so long. He came out of his room after finishing Fellowship with tears in his eyes because of the way Frodo treated Sam so that he wouldn't want to come to Mordor with him. I cried. :P I know, it's silly, but to see him enjoying reading and being moved by a book- and some of the best books ever written- it's just special. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Oh, fun fun fun! That is a great accomplishment for a ten year old. So fun that you can now have a great celebration together watching the films. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
