20 MINUTES A DAY

The experts say "read to your child... 20 minutes a day!" Well, at our house, all problems are solved with books, and 20 minutes a day is hardly enough. Most days we read every book we own... twice! Will could read for hours on end. If he is sad and we say "let's read a book!" he says "okay" if he is tired he brings us a book and his blanket. When we are walking out the door he always wants to bring either his blanket or a book. Now, after hearing me say "let's leave your blanket home so it doesn't get dirty" he heads for the door with it in tow, and then turns around, "folds" it (more like shoves it) onto the couch and "dirty" and then walks out the door. He does the same with the books, he won't just leave them by the door, he has to put them on the couch or back in his book wagon.

We love having Scott around, but poor Scott doesn't get much done, having daddy around is just too exciting for Will. On Saturday he kept bringing his recent favorite to Scott saying "read?" and then he answers his own question "okay." It's pretty cute. I think Scott read this book like 10 times in a row. I must say, there is something so fun about seeing your baby boy with his daddy and loving every minute! You can tell by the look on Will's face that he is so happy to be with Scott.
