My older boys LOVE the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. They've probably read all four books 3-4 times each now. I have had parts of the books recited to me several times. The part I remember most though involves a tattle turtle. The mom in the book was so sick of the kids tattling all the time, she got a (stuffed? I can't remember.) turtle for her boys to tattle to. I think this is a lovely idea. After the kids have tattled for the bazillionth time today, I have decided I need a tattle turtle. Especially for Preston. He has even taken to tattling on himself lately. I found him in the bathroom the other day, making mean faces and sticking his tongue out at himself in the mirror. He turned around and in a very hurt feelings kind of voice said, "Mom, Preston being mean at me!" Then he turned back to the mirror and started all over again with the mean faces. The funny thing is that by the time he was done, I think his feelings were really truly hurt. He looked like he was about to cry. Sometimes I really wonder what goes on in that head of his. Okay, actually I wonder that a lot. ;)
