Eva has been becoming an increasingly better and more independent reader. We received a copy of the Frozen novelization and she read the entire thing herself. She loved reading this book and was so proud of herself for completing the book all on her own. The book is 128 pages and is recommended for an age range of 8 – 12 years old. Eva is 6 1/2.
Frozen has become Eva’s most favorite Disney movie. Having watched the movie so many times already either on her own or with the family she knows the story inside and out. However, reading the novel was a whole new experience for her that brought her even more enjoyment the next time that she watched the movie.
The book was very well done and it even included eight pages of full-color scenes from the movie! Because it is a novel there is even more detail and insight into each character from the film.
The yearly tradition of taking the kids to Free Comic Book Day continues. It certainly gets tougher each year that I work on the weekend overnight shift but I do make sure to stay up and bring the kids to this very fun day. I love that Eva gets so excited by it. Andrew is going to need a year or two to really care. All he wanted to do this year was wriggle out of everyone’s hands and refuse to cooperate for any photos. Sadly, we were running through everything so quickly that we didn’t get a family photo at the event. I didn’t even get the kids in the same shot. But overall we had fun.
I got home from work and helped Eva decide what costume she was going to wear. She had her whole dress up bucket scattered on her floor as she decided on that exact costume. She had talked about being a warrior princess fairy but then changed her mind and became a Warrior Witch. She wore her Halloween costume and took along the shiny broom. She had said that she wanted her sword but decided against it. We took it anyway for photos. Continue reading Free Comic Book Day 2014→
