What we are reading these days

I was so thrilled when I heard my boy saying: "OK mom, I'll read Harry Potter, I'll give it a try." A month later he is in love with Harry, Hermione, Hogwarts and everything else in the amazing Harry Potter series. He is still 7 (well, almost 8) but because it is such a layered plot, it isn't an easy book for young kiddos. So far, he is enjoying the magical series though; almost done with book one, and number two is waiting on top of his night table.

Something I really enjoy these days is watching my boy reading a few different books at the same time. He jumps from one to the other.

Some other favorites for him right now are Magic Tree House series, which he has read most of them. Disaster Strikes series, a present he got from his teacher, and the super cute According to Humphrey series. He just started also, Little Legends, which seems pretty cool and cute too.

I absolutely adore seeing my kid reading and enjoying books, who doesn't right?
I think I got a good reader here.

Kindergarten

It seems we have finally found a school we really like for D. to start elementary school next fall. I know, it seems so early to start the process, but in order to pick the school we really wanted we needed to start this early. What a relief. What a big relief. We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months. In our district, out of our district, public schools and private schools, charter schools and whatever's left in the middle, and somehow there was always something that didn't click to me when touring all those schools. All of them -btw- with very high scores and super nice reviews, but still, there was something that didn't convince me. It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked

Copenhagen

I've had this city in my mind for a while. Never been there, but every time I research about trips to Europe I bump into a Copenhagen article, link, photo and I get more and more interested and excited about this city. In pictures it just looks like the kind of city I like. Here my inspiration for today Friday, a few photos of gorgeous Copenhagen. All photos by: littlescandinavian.com (one of my favorite blogs). Happy weekend. Healthy and peaceful.
