I read every night to Erin as well, but she is 10 now and of that age where I really think she could benefit from reading on her own. Plus I am running out of appropriate things to read to her. Wrinkle in Time is one I just recently started to read to her btw! LOL Know what she did? She grabbed it up and finished it on her own...so NOW what do I do?! I told her she is the same age now that I first found The Hobbit..."Oh please Mama, read that to me (AGAIN...)" Told her I read it 16 times within the first week of discovering it...no one read to me at that time (Mom knew I prefered to be alone)...

Most everything her age now that she is interested in is stuff she could easily read on her own...still I may have to go check out the childrens section of the bookstore. I swear there are better fantasy novels there than in the sci-fi section...more creativity in stories...all the adult fantasies seem like they are written by history majors with a jones for the Arthurian tales or women's studies...ugh!
