We read a book titled "yellow" before bed. Alden's favorite color is yellow, and he kept saying, "I love yellow!" the book goes like this.
"I wave good-bye to the bus driver. The school bus is yellow.
Grandpa hangs up my raincoat. My raincoat is yellow."
Anyway, you get the point. The next page says,
"I eat a banana. The banana peel is...."
I paused, hoping that Alden would recognize the word, or more, the pattern. He yells out, "Yummy!"
Next page. "We feel the warm sun. The sun is..." "Sunny!"
Next page. "Grandpa feeds the ducklings. The ducklings are..." "Eating!"
Next page. "grandpa counts the chicks. The chicks are..." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve!"
Ha ha ha. He is just awesome.
Another funny story. We always take our shoes off in the house, and Alden always forgets to take his shoes off when we go inside. Today, we were in the garage and wanted to go to the back patio. He sits down next to the steps and starts taking his sandals off.
"oh, that's okay, you don't have to take them off. We'll just be quick going to the back."
"oh. This way?" (pointing towards the open garage door)
"No, through the house."
"oh... (with a perplexed look on his face) That's funny."
I guess I'm supposed to be consistent about the rules on wearing shoes in the house. Lol. Everyday, I learn something too.
