We went to the library to pick up some audio books I ordered. B has been really into audio books. When he first discovered that he could get his favorite books in audio format, he listened to an entire book in one sitting, which took 3.5 hours. Since then, he gives himself breaks. But he often puts an audio book first thing in the morning. He listens to them at frequent intervals during the day. He has left the supper table early to listen to one. I'm having a hard time keeping up.

So, I ordered a ton of Magic Treehouse books, "The Mouse and Motorcyle" by Beverly Cleary and Milne's "Winnie the Pooh". That should keep him going for a while. When I got slack in getting new audio books, he listened to Roald Dahl's "BFG" over and over. We figure he must have listened to it about 5 times! Dh is hoping that B will take off with reading soon so that he can do this himself without the limitations of keeping a good stock of new audio books. The library doesn't have a great selection of audio books. And they're expensive to buy. So I can kind of see dh's point. Oh well. I'm just glad he likes books so much.

At the library, B picked up a few books in the children's section. He wandered down a few aisles and came back with a book about space and a book about working dogs. Then, he wanted my help finding a bone book, so we found, "The Skeletal System" by Caroline Arnold.

We read the entire skeletal system book when we got home. It was about 43 pages. We learned about bone shapes (flat bones, long bones, etc), the anatomy of bones (periosteum, marrow, etc), the function of common bones, joints (ball and socket, hinge joints, etc), and how muscles and bones attach (tendons, cartilage, ligaments).

I forgot to post yesterday but we went to the zoo with some friends of ours. We had a fantastic time.
