One of the ways that I've been able to connect with Shule is through literature- we both love to read so it's one of my life's missions to find books that we can both read and discuss together (this is actually true of all my kids- aren't books great!?). One of Shule's favorites is the Artemis Fowl series so I was thrilled to hear that my favorite bookstore was going to host the author for a book signing and "Artemis Rocks Show." It was a great way to spend some one on one time with Shule and if you've enjoyed the books and Eoin Colfer is coming to your neighborhood, I would totally recommend going to the show. He was very entertaining- almost like a stand up comedy routine at parts- and its always fun to hear how authors come up with characters and ideas and such.
Here is Colfer interviewing "Artemis" (sorry for the poor quality- "no flash photography")
We were in the "A" book signing group- which was awesome- we were about sixth in line. While we were waiting I was trying to convince Shule that he really wanted his picture with the author, but he kept refusing- he wouldn't even take a bribe. I finally agreed to leave him alone and settle for a picture of him standing across from the author when he signed his book. But I was thrilled when Mr. Colfer told Shule to come stand next to him for a picture- I don't even care that Shule is making his usual teenage "I-can't-believe-I'm-doing-this-this-is-so-embarassing" kind of face :)
