I know you are all waiting with baited breath to hear how my children reacted to the massive book purge I did the other night. Did they wake up in a panic, sensing their books were missing? Did they beg and cry and plead for their old books back? NOPE! Their shelves are still plenty full and both kids are happily rediscovering books that have been “lost for ever and ever!” Eve has been doing more “reading” to herself and her animals lately. On one shelf I grouped Lex’s series books together. The next day I started to tell him about it but before I could get it out he said, “I know, just like at the library,” and he put the book he was done reading BACK IN ORDER! Alan later joked that if we got him a labeler the books would all get Dewey decimal system stickers on them! :) Neither of them has even commented on the missing books. I’m not sure if that means they haven’t noticed or just don’t care. They’re both enjoying the “breathing space” surrounding their books now. I’m so happy I did it!
