Story Time

Jackson & I read a lot.  Lately, after I finish a story, he likes to read it back to me.  Most of the time he just turns pages and points out a picture or describes a scene.

A couple of nights ago I read a book we haven't read together in several weeks.  True to form, he requested a turn when I was done.  Only this time, to my surprise, he actually did "read" it (and by read I mean have every single page memorized).  Word for word.

I manged to recreate the scene last night.  Please excuse the poor quality.  I had to keep the camera out of sight.  Once the kids spots our Flip he refuses to do anything video-worthy and instead wants to watch himself on the screen.  Weird.  Wonder where he gets that.

Here is Jackson "reading" his first book.  (For the record, he's not quite 2 1/2.)

Linus is the same way when the camera comes out -- "I wanna see."

I love that he loves that book. And am so impressed with his "reading". That was the first book Linus "read" too.
