Our little scholar....

Usually at night, after bath and PJ's, Mikey and I sit down to read books before bed. We take his super soft blanket and lay it on top of us (Mikey gets all excited and his feet start to kick!). Then, I give him a choice of two books, reading the selection he chooses. This happens about two or three times and then bed.


Tonight we followed the same routine---bath, PJ's, blanket. When it came time to pick the books, Mikey crawled down off my lap and sifted through his basket of books himself. When he found a book he wanted to read he looked up at me and smiled and then crawled over with the book. He grunted (indicating that he wanted me to pick him up and put him on my lap) and we read the book that he chose together. He did this four times! He is getting more and more independent each day! And I'm not ready for it..........
