love this kid

It was September when I posted that Ryan had finished the whole Harry Potter series. Well, he's done it again. After a two month break he decided he needed to start again... and for the past three months he has, once again, read all seven books and been in Harry Potter heaven. Ryan is absolutely enthralled with the wizarding world -- what 9 year old isn't? -- and is always saying he wishes that wizards were real and that he could attend Hogwarts himself. He casts spells on his sisters and tells them which spells to cast back. He reads non-stop and brings his book with him wherever he goes... on the bus, in the store, to restaurants, in the van and of course reads for two to three hours a night on his bed... usually falling asleep with the book across his chest or his face. He even told us of a time when he was playing tag at recess with his book so that he could read every time he was frozen. What a character. My favorite was when he came home from school, opened the door and said, 'Hermoine will be here in a minute'. I smiled and said, "Wow, I'm so excited to meet Hermoine." Then he looked and me and said, "oh... I mean Katie". Yep, this muggle is a wizard wanna-be. Thank you JK Rowlings for creating a world that turns little boys into avid readers.
