Bookworm

In the past few weeks Wesley has become obsessed with reading books. I was worried a few months ago because I could never get him to look at a book. He just wanted to throw it aside and move on to something more active. Well, that has all changed. Many times a day I will find him sitting thumbing through books. He likes to crawl up on the couch and make himself comfy to read too. Mostly when I'm looking for him, I look to the floor, but lately I'm starting to look at the couches first! In addition to "reading" on his own he loves being read to. And he knows what he wants. If he brings you a book and you don't stop what you are doing and read it to him he gets really MAD!

Wesley's all time favorite right now is CLIFFORD FOLLOWS HIS NOSE. I bought this book at a garage sale many years ago before we had kids. (We had friends who did have kids so I kept a box of kid stuff at our house for when they would visit) i think we have read Clifford about 600 times in the last week alone! Some other books high on his reading list are First Words, Bubbles Bubbles, Big Dog Little Dog, Dora Books, I'm the Big Brother (how appropriate!) and the Transportation Sticker Book (thank you Curry family -- we are STILL enjoying that book very much!)

Xavier has memorized some of these books so it's neat (and strange) to hear him sit and read to Wes sometimes. I love that my kids love books!!!!
