Preston is very consistent when it comes to reading books before bed. There are 3-4 regulars, and depending on how awake he really is, a request for various others. We always read, in no particular order,
-
- Time For Bed
- The Big Red Barn
Always.
Tonight, he decided to read the letters of the words of Goodnight Moon along with me. Here is a sample of my brilliant 2-year old’s letter recognition <GRIN>. By the 6th page, I was rolling my eyes and wishing he had no desire to know his alphabet! (kidding, just kidding!)
The sentence is: Goodnight moon.
Preston points to the sentence and says: o - e - a - l - e - l - o - o - e
Uh. Ok….got a couple right there…
Another sentence: And goodnight to the old lady whispering hush
Preston points to the sentence and says: a - e - o - o - l - e - d - l - d - a - o - e
Hmm….
Yet another sentence (yes, he did this through the whole book, but I will spare you….although, no one spared me, so…hehe)
Goodnight nobody
d - o - e - l - d - l - o - e - a - e
Yup. Got my work cut out for me. 
In other news, Matt has taken on the challenge of dressing himself these days. He thinks it’s fun! I think it’s hilarious that he picks out comfy (sweat) pants every single day. But hey, it’s winter and cold and frankly, it’s one less thing I have to do. And I’m lazy. Two years ago, heck, one year ago, I never would have let him wear sweatpants every day. I love little boys in jeans and that’s what they always wore. But then came potty training and those adorable little jeans are a pain in the butt when it comes to getting to the potty on time without accidents. And putting himself back together after going? Fuhgettaboutit! And I have to admit that his independent bathroom use has been greatly advanced due to the comfy pants. Yea comfy pants!!
