his new favorite thing....

READING!!! yay! I am so excited. When he was really little, he LOVED to have us read to him. He would sit and just listen so intently and even at a young age (like 5 months..not kidding!) he knew how to turn the pages of his favorite book, Goodnight Moon.

But he went through a phase where it seemed that his books were not meant for reading. He would take them in and out, in and out, in and out of his book bin, or he would want to just pick them up and see how fast he could turn the pages. It was like we couldn't get him to sit and actually LET us read TO HIM.

Then...3 weeks ago. All of a sudden at bed time, he wanted us to read to him. As in...he sat in our laps and actually listened to a story...all the way through!

NOW, he wants to do it all by himself. and I mean all by himself. He doesn't really want us to help him read it anymore. He can now do it all alone! (of course, we don't know what he is really saying yet...)

This is a very common thing to catch him doing around the house these days. Sitting by himself in his room on the floor or sitting on the couch in the living room....
