Professor (14) is our resident history buff. One of his favorite history topics to study is American Presidents. He's had a fascination with their lives, presidencies, and effects on our history since a young age.
Professor devours books about presidents. Nonfiction, fiction, and trivia. If a book has anything to do with presidents, Professor will drop everything to read it.
And now that he's in college as a history major, I love to look back on all of the fun we had together on this holiday!
