Book Fairs and Baseball Cards

Well I thought I had decided what to write about until just now, and the conversation I just had with my younger son moved to the top of the list.

He's sitting in the floor beside me working with his baseball cards (which is what I was going to write about first) and he says to me, "I'm going to set up a book fair in my room."

I said, "A book fair?"

He replied, "Yes, I'm gonna make me a little money, but I'm not going to sell my awesome books."

So, I'm anxious to see which books he thinks are awesome and are allowed to stay on the bookcase. It is also interesting to think about his entrepreneurial interests. I'm wondering if his cousins will make any purchases tomorrow when they come over. We'll see how good of a salesman he is. :)

On to baseball cards, it amazes me that even in 2012 kids love baseball cards and other trading cards. My boys at school were talking about their football cards the other day. This morning my younger decided that he wanted to look at and add some new cards to his baseball card notebook. With all the "high tech" and media things children are involved with, it is exciting to know that they still find interest in the simple things, like a baseball card.

Keep your eyes open and watch for other "simple things" that the children you know enjoy.

Enjoy your day,
