HJD - I'll be laughing all day over that one... FM - Thanks for the mention. I don't think I've ever even heard of that series before. mom1 – I don’t care how bad it is, snuggling up with hot tea and a good book will ALWAYS make it better!

HJD – I’ll be laughing all day over that one…

FM – Thanks for the mention. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of that series before.

Scrabble is SO FUN at our house ;) Cody absolutely loves audio books and the Eragon books are some of his favorites. He's listened to them so many times he practically has them memorized. Your son may also like the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. The main character is dyslexic and ADHD. All three of us are Dyslexic.

I had a friend who volunteered locally to record books for the blind. She was a vet so they had her reading a surgical text. She couldn't figure out why a blind person would be preforming surgery but she didn't want to insult them and ask. This explains a lot.

My grandfather could never read or write. I never understood how anyone could go through life without what we consider today to be such basic skills . . . but times were so different then. Reading is such a love of mine, I couldn't imagine not being able to read. I am so totally with you. My grandfather could never read or write.

We have a couple people in our lives who are dyslexic (to varying degrees). Recorded books are a great alternative. We also get books on CD from the library for all of us to listen to on long road trips. We saw Quantum at Flat Rock Cinema. $5 each, no matter what time the show is and concessions are less expensive, too. Congrats on getting rid of the little buggers - the fleas, I mean!
