Eye Popping Blog

Ordinarily, I would not post about coming across an interesting blog, but I have to share this one with all of you because I probably spent over 2 hours scouring the posts yesterday.

As the mother of a son, this blog gives the sociological and statistical backing to my observations of older boys and men around me. I am glad to know that I am right to worry, and that I am right to take action as well. Additionally, in my previous post I detailed the hurdle I have encountered simply finding appropriate books for my child. Part of it is because he is a baby, but in previewing what is available for him in the future, the pickings are rather slim in this category. I actually hope he matures past this level quickly so he can get to the "good stuff" earlier and can keep an enjoyment for reading intact.
