I'll let you know how it goes. Oh, I also reserved The Boys' Body Book for Cyrus, as he is getting older and has more questions! Makes me feel like he's getting too old too fast, but better that he get answers through me (or M) than elsewhere!
This is a super awesome unit you have put together. I love that you have shared your book list with us all. Thank you so much!
