Whenever we do go home though we usually take our nephew to the movies and it's great to spend time with him and spoil him a bit!

So...enlighten me: what is a captain underpants? <br /><br />I used to go and stay with my aunt and uncle for a week every summer and it was the highlight of my year. I am sure that it is the same for your nephew. He will remember these dates forever.

He helped us figure out how to put together his Hot Wheels racing set during Christmas and actually figured out the harder stuff we couldn't figure out. He's a genius! :)<br /><br />I'm glad you have been able to have some great nephew dates while you've been in Minneapolis.

Can he read the Captain Underpants books on his own yet? If they are a little hard, I recommend Ricky Ricotta- easier and by the same author. I use it usually with my 2nd graders but that's in tutoring, so obviously the kids are a little behind. I may have already recommended that one to you though, can't remember :) Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.com
