Boys, August 2007

I'm so proud of Finn. He's just growing up so fast. He's learning new words, slowly, but surely. Woo Woo is the train. He's graduated from board books. Last night I read him the Golden Book "The Little Red Caboose" for the first time, and he loved it. I read it three times and he was amazed and enthralled each time. Tonight I read it to him twice, and this time he stopped to point out the caboose and engines, elephants and the lion. It seems such a big step to go from the simple board books to a Golden Book, but he seems ready. I'll still read him the many Byron Barton and Sandra Boynton books we have, but we've made the step to the next level.
I used to be the one to read to Sean at night, and now I rarely do. Heather reads to him, and they get good books from the library. Picture books, but sometimes fairly complex, and covering many topics. They must have read hundreds by now, since they get new books from the library at least once a week, and rarely get repeats.
