The dinosaur ate my homework...

At naptime we allow Jackson to keep one of the stories we have read to him while he tries to fall asleep. Well that is going to have to change.

Today when I went in to wake Jackson from his nap not only had he piled the pillows and blankets on top of himself and put his socks on his hands... a corner of the book was missing! M-I-S-S-I-N-G. I asked Jackson what happened to the rest of the soggy corner to No Bunnys Perfect. His response: "I was a dinosaur and I ate it." Ugh. What to say to that? I explained that it was not okay to eat our books and that we buy nice books so that we can read them not eat them. That ruining our books makes me sad. To which he responded: "But I was a HUNGRY dinosaur." Double Ugh.

No more books at naptime.

Books

Reading with Jackson has always been a big hit in this house since even before his first birthday. He loves to read by himself, have people read to him and even "read" to us. I wanted to remember the list of books that he currently loves:

The Giant Jam Sandwich by John Vernon Lord
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss
The B Book by Dr. Seuss
The Big Smelly Bear by Britta Teckentrup
Put Me in the Zoo by Robert Lopshire
A Fly Went By by Mike McClintock and Fritz Siebel
Sam and the Firefly by P. D. Eastman
ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book! by Dr. Seuss
The Bears' Christmas by Stan Berenstain and Jan Berenstain (yes, even in August)
