When we first brought Si home he could not focus for even a second on a book. Citcat had been absorbed by books and would listen to me read hour after hour. To say the least, I was stressed. Many of you assured me that he would eventually sit and listen. Well, he has started to listen to books. He can even find his favorites among a hundred board books on his bookshelf.
For a few days last week, I thought he might actually be calling me Mama but alas his little cries for "mama mama" were not for me but for the book Mama Mama. I have always loved this book for the illustrations as well as the gentle rhythm.

He has other favorites but he is very insistent about reading this book. Lots of grunts and pushes. He will settle himself into my lap and look up waiting for me to read it. Sometimes, I imagine him saying "again" or at least it sounds like it.
