Bookworm

FFM likes to be read to and to 'read' on his own. We've got books all over the house and he'll just plop down periodically and pull out a book and start reading. However, until a couple of weeks ago his reading was limited to HIS books.

Our library has a pretty fancy used book section. It's a whole room/coffee shop/lounge and is usually staffed with a volunteer and it feels a bit like a tiny B&N. We walk through every once in a while to see if there's anything good, and the last time I found a nice copy of the "Denver: Then and Now" which compares pictures of downtown Denver at the turn of the century and now. For $2 how can you pass that up?

We got home and FFM dragged it into my favorite reading chair and even though it's a 'grown-up' book would not let go. He was totally engrossed-turns out the book is full of trains...
Shortly after that episode, F appeared next to me all dressed up and had me guess who he was. After several incorrect guesses he announced he was "SKIPPYJON JONES, Mommy!" Ah, I see! SkippyJon has become a favorite story around here and while we've got several books we always check for new ones at the library.
