Our errands of the day included books and flowers. Kevin's books are too young for him now. He has some to grow into which were his step-brothers'. Mommy is encouraging him to read every day, but it is drudgery for him. Reading should never be unpleasant. Grandma thinks he has the wrong reading materials. First, we sorted through Kevin's books for him to chose ones we can ship to Kien. Then we went shopping at Barnes & Noble. We picked out a few novels and a J. K. Rowling biography which are at his reading level and will be enjoyable reads for him. He wanted a Harry Potter Lego book. Each page is a different character from the stories with information on the character and how to build it with Legos. Since we could not buy the specialized Lego pieces, this book seemed like a $20 waste to Grandma. But he really wanted it. Guess what book kept him reading for hours the rest of the day!
The second errand was to buy flowers for Mommy's grave. Kevin helped pick the flowers and arrange them. We tied them with a ribbon there, and had a store employee cut the wired stems to the right size.
Mommy and Daddy went out tonight, leaving Kevin and I to make our own dinner and play games.
