Emily got a $10 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble for her birthday from her great grandma. She and I went on a special date for her to spend it and pick out a book. I wanted her to be able to pick out whatever book she wanted, within reason. Of all the books in the store, this is what she chose. Walter the Farting Dog. Ever read it? It's a national bestseller. Serious. And it was $17 with tax--so I ended up paying for almost half of it. Can't believe I let her get this book--we don't even let the girls use this word at our house. Oh the things we do to spark an interest in reading in our children!Great Grandma is going to be thrilled when she hears the title of the book...maybe I won't tell her.
