Noah has picked up "reading" this week. He has never been one to sit still and let you read to him. He has basically ignored books. This is such a sharp contrast from Mihaela who loves book. She takes books everywhere. We have had to limit her to only 3 books in her bed at any one time because she would slowly collect an entire library of books in her bed.
However, as we have been potty training with Noah (who doesn't really have accidents as long as we take him potty, but has yet to tell us he needs to go) we have been reading to him while he has sat on the toilet. It seems to have sparked an interest in books. He now will bring books to me to read to him. He has decided to let me read him a good night story and this evening he actually took a book to bed with him...and was "reading" it when I shut the door.
Now, the books still have to be short and you have to do lots of interaction with him (where is the tree? Let's count the berries. etc...). But it is such a vast improvement. By the way, speaking of counting the berries. He does count to ten. Its thick, but he has the rhythm and sounds of counting down.
