I know, didn’t I learn from the first time? But in my defense, I kind of forgot, and I just wanted the kid to go to sleep. And it was a hand me down book with missing parts anyway. I can keep going.
I hope next time though, I’ll just say no you can’t have a book and let him cry himself to sleep.
What struck me funny this time was how thoroughly he demolished this book and how he hid it between the wall and crib. When I discovered it, he kept saying, “That’s not nice.”

I’ve been hunting old books lately, thanks to being close to a Goodwill that isn’t picked through. I’ve found some I’m really excited about, but this book I actually snagged from my mom’s house. I don’t think she’ll mind as Jack just loves it. He says “woow woow” on the fire engine page, and “Boom, Boom” on the marching band page. He’ll growl at the lion, or alligator.
One day a few months ago, I caught him sitting in the hallway, reading this book aloud to himself. Granted, this boy can’t read, that I know of, or let alone speak many words. And thanks to a video camera close at hand, I have this to share. Although I haven’t figured how to embed the video into my blog directly, here is the link to it on Youtube. Enjoy! It’s long, but that’s what’s so funny. He just kept going and going.
