The Niko Reads

Posted on 10/25/202611/11/2026 by Mark

For the past few weeks, and right at bedtime (around 7 pm), Niko gets tucked into bed and for a few minutes, he reads a book. Yeah, you heard that right! A physical book which is awesome and I love it. It’s so great seeing it as Nina and I will always encourage it. I just wish he would read earlier in the evening.

He reads Percy Jackson (he is dressing up as him for Halloween), Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Farmer Boy (about Almanzo Wilder).

Now, the big question is, can we get him to a library? We do offer, and he declines. One day, I am hopeful, he will accept, and we all explore and check-out some books. There is a very large library in St. Cloud (about 30 minutes from us) that looks like it’s part of a university.
