Back to the Supernova of benefits of
reading to your children: My second daughter, was read to from a very
young age, just like all of out kids. At age 14, she is writing her
own stories, and illustrating them. Westerns seem to be her
favorites. She is working on a screenplay. She is perhaps the most
like me of all the children, in her complete rapture in humor. For
our Mothers Day dinner, we all dressed up like something from Mother
Goose.(Get it? Mothers Day. Mother Goose?) My second daughter came
to the table dressed as the WALL that Humpty Dumpty fell off of. I
haven’t laughed so hard in a while. She still makes me smile.

Let’s Get Back on Track!

Yikes! I’ve been having great fun talking about my job as a cave tour guide. But back to the reason for the Bloggathon 2010. I’m celebrating National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com because I’ve written a children’s book and because I really believe in reading to kids. I’ve done readings in 3 libraries in the past few weeks, and the kids and parents both are entertained by “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth.

The Jerry Begly Bloggathon 2010 is moving right along. Thanks for joining me. I’m celebrating National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com with a post every two hours, through the 16th of May! What is really fun about this week, is that I get to celebrate, by offering you an opportunity to read my children’s book entitled “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth. As I sit here posting this, my son, Caleb is reformatting the 3rd Edition of the book which will be sent to the printers today. It freaks me out that we can edit and format the book, up here high in the Rockies completely off the grid, send it through the airwaves, and get it printed in the Good Old USA within a few weeks.

Speaking of “Yuck!”, check out the website www.yucktruckseptic.com . If my son can make a septic pumping service website look cool, for a really reasonable price, imagine what he can doo doo for you you. (just a little septic humor there, folks). What does a septic pumping service have to do with National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com? It’s all about reading to kids, expanding their minds, getting them out of the nest , and watching them fly through the world making it a better place for everyone. And we all benefit; from you to me to the guy who works hard at his septic pumping business.
