Reading

There was a time when Matthew wouldn't sit still for stories. We couldn't even get through a Sandra Boynton book. I thought he would never like books and that was a terrible thought for me, as a teacher, to have a kid who didn't like reading. Of course, he was only a few months old at the time. Rachel is still at this point. I can't get any stories into her...yet.

So you can imagine my joy at witnessing this today at naptime. Matthew has taken to reading some of his own bedtime stories. Usually this involves him looking at either his Cars or Thomas the Train Look and Find books and pointing out all the characters he knows or finding the objects. Definitely interested in books, but not exactly quality literature.

Today he read The Monster At The End Of This Book all by himself.
