I can't seem to get my own comments to post, so in answer to Mom's question, "this" is Hueston bringing
Corduroy for me to read. For three days, that was all he wanted to do.
Actually, today we read through most of the library books we checked out the other day -
Dandelion and
A Canary in the Library also by Don Freeman, parts of
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish,
What Daddies Do Best, and another one I can't remember. We also read
Oh the Pets You Can Get, which was a present from Grandma (which should be no surprise to anyone who knows Janet). Hueston also really seemed to like
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
We did also read
Corduroy several times, but it was nice to have a break - especially now that I have it memorized (along with
The Very Hungry Caterpillar,
The Big Hungry Bear, and most of his
Rhyme Bible Storybook).
Sometimes he hands me the book, waits until I open it, does a little happy dance when I turn to the first page ("Corduroy is a bear who once lived in the toy department of a big store..."), and then walks away as soon as I start to read. I've discovered that the best way to get him to come back from wherever he's gone is to stop reading. :)
I was glad for naptime, because my voice was getting a little tired. Hopefully, however, this means he will love reading as much as his mother does!
