Johnny Tremain has captured the boys attention so much, that they protest loudly when we have to stop and move onto the next subject. I think they could listen for hours! I'm a fast reader, so I don't mind reading ahead when I have to, so that occasionally during the Read Aloud time I could be doing a project one on one with Small Fry. Or if he happens to take a nap, which he is not doing very often lately, I could actually blog, or surf the net while they listen. Shoot, I could even throw in a load of laundry and clean the kitchen.... (let's not get too carried away though).
So audio CD's are working for our family. I'll be checking out whatever CD's I can find at the library. If anyone knows of any places where you can download books on CD, leave a comment! Like I said, this is gonna be my new nifty gadget to help me better manage our time and enjoy our homeschooling!
If you would like to read other ideas visit Kristen at We Are That Family. Also any comments on the napping habits of your 3 year old? Leave them as well! I think this napping thing will actually have to be another post. Yep... I see it coming.
Toodles!

Our boys enjoyed reading Johnny Tremain too! We still use audio books in the car when running around town. One of our favorite series is the "Adventures in Odyssey" from Focus on the Family. Now you can download almost all of the Odyssey episodes on itunes for $1.95 per audiobook (but they are only about 25 minutes long.) All our kids LOVE these stories!
