Book worm!

Jackson loves books!

Here are some sweet pictures of reading books with Poppa and his daddy!

He is getting so smart too! He has always had his "favorite" books - you know, the ones he paid attention too and didn't try to wiggle away before the book was finished - but now he really has favorites! We put his books on the mantle - well because if we didn't he'd eventually rip all the pages out and hide the slobbery pieces of paper throughout the house or just chew on them until they are a slobbery mush - and that boy knows where they are when he wants to read! It's just amazing how fast he learns - and let me tell you, he doesn't forget anything! Tonight he walked over in front of the fireplace and pointed up at the mantle and (grunted) "book". I said, "Buddy you want to read?" and he just grinned. I reached up, grabbed the first book I came to, and sat down with him to read. But oh no! That was not the one he wanted. He hopped back up, walked over to the fireplace and grunted and pointed saying "book" again! I picked him up and showed him the books one by one until we came across the one he wanted on the bottom of the stack! Now tell me my boy isn't the smartest little guy you've ever seen! We then commenced to reading "Big Kicks" (or Biggie as we call it) a cute little book about a big bear (named Biggie) - who is not very good at soccer - numerous times. I would try to sneak in a new book here and there but Jackson would not have it. He wanted to stick with his old faithfuls tonight!

Looks like the list of favorite books has a new addition....add "Big Kicks" aka "Biggie" to the list!
