Chris's Aunt gave each of the boys a gift card to Barnes and Noble for Christmas. It was a fantastic idea and I was really excited to take each of them shopping for a few new books.
It was a painstaking process. The boys belabored each selection. Aidan would announced he had picked a few books, only to reshelve them a few minutes later. We had to coax Brennan away from the chapter book shelves with Aidan to a more appropriate level for his age. (As Brennan fully pretends he can read, this was not an easy task.) Two and a half hours later, the books were selected and we were finally ready to head home.
Each boy left the store with their own bag stocked with their book selections. As we got in the car, I heard Aidan say to Brennan, "And you know what Brennan? The best part is that we get to KEEP these books!"
Brennan's mouth fell open. He turned to me, confused, and asked, "What? We get to KEEP these? Forever? We never have to give them back? Ever?"
When I confirmed, that yes, the books are theirs to keep, Brennan lets out a shout of joy and yelled, "I get to keep them! Hooray!"
I guess we have been spending too much time borrowing books from the library.
