Hi everyone,

I am officialy Brill-addicted!  I think constantly about what new category I should create for my little angel and for the Little Reader Library.  I check my points every time I get across my computer and since I have two (a stationary and a Laptop) which are conviniently situated in my childs room and in the living room - it means every 30 min. or so
I think how to promote this awesome site to my fellow Bulgarians and so on
I have been really active for the last 5 days and I already managed to reach 3500 pts.   I think that by the time I reach 10000 pts it won't matter anymore cuz I will be addicted to the community
I tell my hubby that I am going to work and lately I have stayed up almost all nite.  When I share that I have obtained more points, my sweetheart asks: "So how much money is this :P?"  He has been real supportive even though my house is a bit of a mess and his diners have started missing

So I thought I'd ask you ho is it in your family?

Hello!!!

I agree! This site is addictive! I love the whole concept of the program and my daughter loves it too! My husband is in the US and my daughter and I are still in the Philippines so we communicate through messenger only and i told him about the lil reader and about this site as well. At first he was just "oh ok" about it. But later when I showed him through webcam how fast our baby has learned thru lil reader... he became more excited! And we would talk online about the lessons and he would help me think of new categories to make so i can earn more points while our baby learns more things! 

Its amazing really.. This site and its program helps not only child education. I believe it also enhances family relationship through bonding and family time..

Good job everyone!!!

I agree with the word "addictive"! 

I think my husband believes I am going to extremes sometimes! My husband is supportive, however & that's what is important.  He doesn't get as excited about things as I do and sometimes I think it drives him nuts when I am so focussed on little reader. 

We have a very small home & when I bring more toys home because they are  "developmentally appropriate" or great for teaching Kay a certain skill he isn't always thrilled.  When he sees how well she is doing though, he is thrilled & able to overlook everything.

Speaking of addictive! I just got home from shopping, turned the computer on and forgot to put my milk in the fridge!

I'll be back!

   Don't forget the milk or your hubby may not be as pleased
I think that our husbands are supportive not only because their child gets to develop his brain, but also because they get to see us so very happy and enthusiastic.  The spark in the eye is there and we are no longer those bored and full of diapers mommies.

L&M, I haven't tought about it from this prospective, but I must agree with you that it as a family bonding experience.

My husband thinks the concept of LR is great.  Especially since he sees how much our son talks and recoginizes things compared to others his age.  I contiribute it to LR of course!!    The only thing he questions is when I spend a lot of time creating categories to get more points.  He wonders if my time is better spent doing something else and then just purchase LR when it's available.  I told him that I really enjoy being in the community and that I have learned alot!!  After that he says ok and I continue doing what I love to do...thanks again LR!!

Karma to all of you! 

[nhockaday]

I'm curious, KL, how does your wife feel about all of this?

[lila_and_mom]

hahaha! thanks KL! Karma to for you too!!! 

[KL]

I'm curious, KL, how does your wife feel about all of this?

Well, she's a user herself (she's a 'lurker' ), and frequently gives me feedback (sometimes brutally honest!    ).

I too am 'addicted' to all this, but of course, more in terms of thinking up better and better things for you all.  That means that I too spend a lot of time on all this, which often means less time with the family. But my wife understands, and afterall, everything I'm doing has a direct impact on Felicity.  Besides, Felicity is often my 'guinea pig', so I would argue that it increases bonding time!

BTW, my wife loved your "Why I love you" story, Nikki! (she says Felicity keeps asking her to play it again and again). Felicity also often asks to see Martina/Pupisek's Dali paintings.

The only difference is that you get paid in $ and we are in Pts   I believe that the second one is more rewarding :P
I also loved the "Why I love you" story and I think that you should make it at BrillKids with pro narrator and drowings.

[nhockaday]

Aww. I'm glad she liked it  

I like Martina's Dali categories too! I have always liked his work.

KL, We are very grateful for all the hard work you have put into LR and the forums. You are doing a great thing for Felicity and hundreds of other children.

I spend a lot of time on here too (as many of you well know). In fact, it is 4:34 am right now  

I really love it here. I love being around other people who understand what I'm trying to do with my child. I don't have to worry about people questioning me and having to explain what and why. My partner is not involved with any of it. He leaves it up to me, but he approves. He does get jealous though because I spend way too much time on here

Thanks to you too! Maybe there are some artistic members who would like to give it a shot?

[KL]

Thanks again, everyone!

yes, Nikki, maybe we should start a thread asking for artistic folks! I tihnk we will soon be creating a "Stories" section in the File Downloads area, so stories will be easier to find and I'd imagine quite popular.  So you could split the points with the artist.  I think we need to activate the 'transfer points' function, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

[kmum]

I love the idea of having a seperate story section!

My husband really enjoys using Brill reader with our daughter. It has become a before bedtime ritual. I recommended this to a friend and her son has made improvements recognizing numbers
