1000 Books Before Kindergarten :: 900!

We're getting closer! We have slowed our pace quite a bit...we have had to take away "special books" because we have struggled with some obedience. Which is a strange thing to take away books from a child. But they still have a whole bookshelf full of books that they read throughout the day, so I'm not worried about any literacy issues. And I am grateful that not having books is seen as a punishment; it means my kids still love books :)
