When Braylon was around 2 years old, his favorite book was a short rhyming board book entitled "Spookley's Pumpkin Patch." We read that board book until we were fatigued of knowing which pumpkin was which color and shape...
Blaine has followed suite. It's his favorite book these days. In fact, the board 'pages' are showing wear and I'm sure there are remnants of sticky food and residue - Sure signs of toddler usage.
Anyway, last night in bed, Blaine (who keeps this book in his bed at all times) again wanted to read Spookley. Big surprise. But this time he turned the tables - He recited the book page by page, nearly word for word back to me. I was both impressed and entertained...That kid is something else!
"This silly pumpkin is red and fat, this silly pumpkin is blue and flat.." You could hear the conviction in his voice - "Soooo many puk-kins and none of them match ... what onderful colors in Spook-ey's puk-kin patch."
