A couple nights ago when Matthew decided he was not ready for bed until 10pm (read: awesome), we spent more time reading to him. We followed the reading with some singing (jealous you weren't there to hear us sing? We know). We started with the ABC's and The Wheels on the Bus, and then moved to Eight Little Monkeys. By the time six monkeys were jumping on the bed, Matthew stood up and walked to his book bin. He grabbed the book Eight Little Monkeys, came back and handed us the book! The fact that he connected the song and the book took us to a state of total awe.
And then this morning, Matthew went to his book bin and grabbed a book we really don't read that often, Hop on Pop. He brought it to me saying "Pop Pop."
While probably boring to most of you, we have been amazed at the learning and growth of our little boy. Just incredible to observe cognitive development as it was not too long ago that he was laying on his activity mat just starring at the toys above with no real awareness of his environment.
