The Dad of the year award goes to...

In order for me to write this post honestly, and brag about my husband, I have to write something bad about Jadon. Jadon had to read a book and do a book report for school. He had to pick a book that was an award winning book. I suggested "To kill a mockingbird". He said ok. We borrowed the book from my friend and he lost that at school so he had to buy the book to replace hers. When he was buying it, the sales lady at the book store said it was the best book ever written. He got the book at least a month ago but kept putting off reading it and started it 4 days before the due date (friday). He got pretty stressed out on when he realized he probably wasn't going to finish it in time. He asked his teacher if he could do the report on Monday and she said it would take 3% off his grade. He tried to get the book on tape because he thought that would be an easier way to read it since every time he sat down to read, he would fall asleep. The library didn't have any copies and we couldn't get the audio version anywhere online. So Wednesday, after school, he came home and read all day and night. He spent most of the time reading on our bed. Dale went in to see how he was doing and offered to read it to him for a while. They ended up reading together all night. The next day was the day before the report was due and Jadon still had quite a bit to read. When Jadon came home from school, Dale read to him all afternoon, took a break for dinner, then read till about midnight when Jadon couldn't stay awake anymore. The book still wasn't finished. Luckily, Friday is late start and school doesn't start until 10:00 a.m. Dale woke Jadon up at 4:45 and told him to start reading. When I got up at 6:45, Jadon was asleep on the couch so Dale got up and read to him until he had to leave for school. They finished the book 5 minutes before Jadon's bus came. When Jadon got home from school I asked him if it was the best book ever written. He said yes. I was glad that he liked it but I sure hope he has learned something from this procrastinating experience. I took the picture and wrote a post about it because I don't want him to ever forget what his dad did for him!
