"The Boy Who Lived"

One of my dearest wishes as a mother was fulfilled tonight, and honestly, she probably doesn't even know how deeply affected I am. Get ready for it: We have started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone together. I've been waiting years and years and years to read these books with my kid, and tonight, it finally started.
I think she's ready for them, certainly for the first book, since it's the tamest of them all. But to be able to relive the Harry Potter experience, and through a pair of fresh eyes and ears, is a special treat. All I can hope is that she loves the books as much as Brian and I do.
If this doesn't kick start a real love of reading, I don't know what will.
