Giving the joy of reading

It has been my son's birthday today and for the first time there have been genuine squeals of excitement as he tore the wrapping off some books. I'm hoping it is a sign of a growing interest in books that will be with him for life.

The only downside is that as a result I have not had a chance to do any really constructive reading/thinking and this is probably all i will blog tonight.

Still aim to make up for it tomorrow...
