A Favorite Invention and the Newbery

I have been learning a lot about dressing little boys since having Caleb in March. One of the things that aggravates me most is his white shirt coming untucked on Sundays. So, this Christmas we got him one of these and it has worked like a charm. They are kind of pricey for a baby shirt, but totally worth it! I love it.

Now I just have to find him a tie that works with his big head and fat neck and we'll be set!

In other news, I am so excited that the 2010 Newbery award and honors books were announced today! My good friend and neighbor runs the mock Newbery group on Goodreads so has gotten me into reading the new kids lit books. Here are the winners for 2010:

The winner:
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead.

The honors:
Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jaqueline Kelly

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick

Out of the ones that I've read I like Where the Mountain Meets the Moon the most, but I still have to read Claudette Colvin so we'll see.
