I called to check up on my son and to say hi! I did this after I finished my first book and was taking a little break. Then after a few hours he called me because his cousin was being mean! I talked him down and he calmed down.

I've got a notebook too for jotting down notes. I'm so impressed with myself because I've never been that prepared for a read-a-thon and all of the books just meld together in my head!
