Reading

I love Theo's concept of reading time. It's not just about the book. It's about the experience. He picks a book, climbs on my lap with a big smile, and says, "here mommy. read." Some books he has memorized. Others, he is only interested in certain parts. For example, I have one book called This is Paris, a children's classic with illustrated pictures of Paris. He always wants to go right to the picture of the train. I wonder if he remembers the Metro. He was so cute in Paris, loving the trains there just as much as here. No matter how long the Metro ride, he was thrilled to press his little face to the window.
