Two Birds with One Stone

The new year has begun and we have returned to work.  We have agreed, Husband & I, to get back on track.  We had sort of lost our way.  I want to get on the treadmill for about 30 minutes each day.

I am a busy, working mom.  Finding that 30 minutes is challenging.  Then, at the library yesterday, Igor requested that he be able to read his chapter book to me.  He picked up the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid:  The Last Straw.  He wanted to read it aloud to me.  Well, his teachers have told us he needs to work on his reading fluency.  So I agreed.  Now...where to find the time.

An idea was born.  Tonight, I walked on the treadmill while listening to the story of a kid creating a time capsule.  My son loved being able to read to me and I got my workout in.  We'll do it again tomorrow.
