100 Books of Summer

Lucas is such a smart boy and I don't think I'm just a proud mom. He knows all his letters, he can sing the ABC's and he can recognize most of the letters as well. He confuses a few such as W & M and P & R. I think he is well on to his way to reading. So I've decided to kick it up a notch and we are going to read 100 books this summer. (Although, this might be slightly difficult since Lucas LOVES to read the same books over and over and over...)

We didn't quite make the 200 books but we were pretty close. We forgot to record some books but Lucas also does a lot of reading at Grammy's house so he almost made it. Grammy and Poppy have a lot of the Dr. Seuss books as well as others.
