Reading Time!


Lincoln LOVES to read.  Partly because most little kids do, and partly, I am sure, because he sees the behavior modeled by his older siblings!  In the time honored tradition of small children everywhere he loves to have the same book read over and over and over and over.  He's a bit crazier than some toddlers though - sometimes he is so anxious to read the book over that he doesn't even let you get to the last page before he wants to start it over!

He wanders around the house holding a book (or two) and repeating "read, read, read" to whomever is near!  Sometimes he'll take his book to one person, convince them to read it once or twice, and then move on to the next person with the same book and ask to have it read again and again (and again)!  He also likes to provide lots of commentary along the way about the book!

Current favorite books include Goodnight Gorilla, The Yes Yes No No Book, Head to Toes, Perfect Piggies (we like Sandra Boynton!), Where's the Cat, Bear on a Bike, Richard Scary's Car Book, Mr. Brown Can Moo Can You? and lift the flap style of books.  He does not, of course, limit himself to these books!

We, of course, are thrilled to have another reader in the house.  :)
