Ha! What were you all thinking?
For the past several days Lucas has been turned into a book worm and some how that has turned Eli into a book worm also. Lucas proudly finished up a 214 page book (he made sure several dozen times that I knew the exact number of pages). The largest book he has ever read. He's all about earning reader points for school. He's a little competitive.
We actually had a book war of sorts after school on Wednesday. While waiting for Sydney to arrive from the high school to pick them up, they sat reading. Eli decided he wanted Lucas' book, Lucas let him look but once Syd arrived on the scene there was a possessive tug of war over the much coveted book. Luckily we don't have to replace the book in question, it survived.
Wednesday night after Lucas had finished with the book, Eli grabbed it and was on the couch reading it when all of the sudden he busted out laughing. Not just a giggle or chuckle but a prolonged belly laugh.....he got the joke in the book. Humor, especially written, is something that is very hard for them to understand in English. That's not to say that each of them think they are the funniest person to ever exist.
Lucas has a pretty huge accomplishment in reading that large of a book. Reading in English 2 years ago was non existent for the most part. Eli didn't read at all 2 years ago in any language, now he's able to not only read but find the humor hidden within the pages.
