Tonight after being made ready for bed, Matthew picked up Baby's First Picture Book and started going through the pages with me. "Cheese! Corn! Carrots! Eggs!" The animals: "Duck! Pig! *snorting sounds* Shoop! [horse] Cow!" Then he started looking for the page with the ice cream. "Ice cream! Ice cream!" He was very excited about that.
Then he showed his mom the pages he'd showed me, including ice cream. Then he decided actually eating ice cream was much better than looking at a picture of it, and ran over to the freezer and begged. Wimps that we are, we gave him some. (And had to brush his teeth a second time.) Literacy is something to encourage, right?
