Eye candy for a good Jewish mother

Yesterday Jonathan picked up Ari early from school so they could have special time together, in hopes of combating his transition issues.  I didn't know where they went until I got this email:

"Welcome to the Library,

LOVING, ARI

You have registered as an Online Patron. Your online library card number is -----.  This number will allow you to access your library account through My Account for 14 days. Should you wish to check out materials from the library, you will need to have your online account converted to a regular account by showing a photo ID and proof of current address at the check out desk."

Ari was very excited to show me all his books when he got home, which I loved, but which wasn't a surprise.  What did take me aback was Xander tonight, who turned down a movie in order to keep reading about Batman and Iron Man.  Apparently the key to opening up our math and science lover's heart to books is reading about superheroes and semi-violent adventures.  Well... whatever works, I suppose!
