I love recollecting and recording things that we've read and done so that I can see all the great things we've accomplished when I feel like we haven't done very much. Good idea to write this post. I think I need to do that again, too.Penney Douglashttp://www.penneydouglas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-23012197341683892332012-03-29T16:42:56.756+11:002012-03-29T16:42:56.756+11:00I loved the Oz books when I was younger, too...sti...I loved the Oz books when I was younger, too...still do. She's read quite a few! Impressive for a child her age, I'd say!<br /><br />I think that is fantastic for her to have a list like this to remember all the books and stories she's read. Sometimes it's just so fun to look back and realize all that you have done, it can be a fun surprise! We keep a private family journal/blog of things the kids have done and it is a great record to reminisce over. Goes to show what all that time allows one to do!Eve | Inchworm Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194431691132769984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-56479738334877859302012-03-25T13:57:49.713+11:002012-03-25T13:57:49.713+11:00Thanks Jo!

Every book I read from the age of 13-15 was written down in a little book. I looked at that list the other day and have started to read a few of the books on the list. It was wonderful to revisit the books I had read in my early teens. I had a lovely time remembering those books!!Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528919161012393527.post-91723171525721109742012-03-22T23:59:20.414+11:002012-03-22T23:59:20.414+11:00I am impressed!
