Reading

Today I was reading The Foot Book to Benton as I was trying to put him down for a nap. (Which he rarely takes anymore, but he is sick and said he was tired.) It wasn't the best choice. Something longer and boringer would have been better. After I finished reading it he started repeating it. And looking for the "feet in the morning page." It was pretty cute in a non-sleeping sort of way.

He was counting something today--cars in a I-Spy type book. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, seventeen, eighteen, eighteen, twenty-one." It was pretty cute.

Brita's gotten pretty good at reading words with the basic sounds in them. She's also gotten "sh" and "ch" down pretty well. Peter had her read a story from the Friend for family home evening the other day and he doesn't know as well how she reads. She did a really good job and could figure out words that I didn't think she'd be able to. I guess it's good to have someone challenge you every once in a while.

Mima was all sorts of interested today when I was reading to Benton, too. She got a huge grin on her face and tried to turn the pages and giggled. Pretty stinking cute.

Brita continues to describe various things she shouldn't as "stinking."

That's all.
