A couple of days ago, Tanner asked me to get him some books for his Language Arts class, it seems he waited until the very last minute (no, not Tanner) to tell me he needed a book to read in class. He has to do 2 book reports a month! Wow, that's a lot of reading.
Anyway, I of course, loved the idea of picking out age appropriate books for Tanner. I searched Barnes & Noble online in the "Teen" section for something that I thought he would enjoy reading and in the process- maybe he would get something out the book. I had about 6 books that I wanted to buy him, but when I got to the bookstore I could only find 2 of them. (I couldn't order online because he needed the books that day!!) I brought the books home and he picked the book below to read first. It is being made into a movie as we speak, I think that is why he chose it first.
And I was glad he picked that one first because, being the book nerd that I am, I starting reading this book as I was waiting in line at the Taco Bell drive thru! I love it and I am having a hard time putting it down. It is a total page turner and it is easy reading since it was written for a much younger age group than mine! ;) I definitely hope Tanner will learn something from this book- the main one being, you never know how your actions/inaction will affect someone else.....

The other day after Jake’s shower, he comes to me saying his lip is bleeding. He is standing there with a towel wrapped around him covering his mouth with the end of the towel. As I am walking over to him, I ask what happened. He says “I don’t know”.
Hmmm, how does your lip bleed and you don’t know how it happened.
As I got closer to him, I could see that he had shaving cream on his face. I ask him if he used a razor on his face. He says “no” as he looks down, not looking at me in the eye. I ask why he has shaving cream on his face then. He says, because he was shaving….
I told him that he shouldn’t be using a razor – and cutting himself is the main reason why. The cut wasn’t too bad, but I think he learned his lesson. Too bad that I didn’t think of taking a picture…it was kind of funny….
