For the first time, Alex let me read him an entire chapter of a real book! His PJs had Winnie the Pooh on them last night and I guess he has picked up who Pooh is from day care. When I put them on he got so excited -- kept saying Pooh, Pooh, Winnie Pooh and pointing and chattering excitedly. Even went into the family room to show Daddy Pooh on his pants. So I said to him, Alex, would you like to read a story about Winnie the Pooh? I pulled the big book off of the shelf and read the entire first chapter. I handed him a classic Pooh little stuffed animal he has and he cuddled it and sat with me through the entire thing. When the chapter was over (well, when I was on the last page of it, where the storyteller and Christopher Robin are talking about the fact that there will be more stories, but the bee story was done at least) he closed the book and said "all done!" Then he very sweetly asked for lights out and bed time.
Have I mentioned how much this boy makes my heart melt?
