When AJ was a tiny little guy there weren't many things I loved more than reading to him before bed - then he started to grow. For a while bedtime reading was more trying to get through a few pages with a wiggly boy squirming off her lap and generally refusing to listen. So for a couple of months Mommy admitted defeat and didn't bother. A few weeks back, AJ started to show serious interest in books again and not just at bedtime which made Mommy VERY happy. Credit must be given to the wonderful teachers at school who read to AJ and his buddies every day and introduced him to books about tractors :-)
Our current favorite before bed is a set of 4 books about the Cars characters - Doc, Sally, Mater and Lightening McQueen - that Gramma Lynn got us. AJ likes you to read them all each night but often only gets a couple of pages into the 3rd or 4th one and closes it announcing "the end". We know he listens when you read because tonight we got the page in the Lightening McQueen book where Lightening says "ka chow" and flashes his lightening bolt and AJ beat us to the punch saying " ka dow" with great gusto. It even made Pete laugh when we realized he was making an attempt at "ka chow". Pretty darned cute.

Glad I could be of assisstance. A very smart teacher once told me that if you want a child to read start them with books that interest them, not you. Love that little guy.
