Here are three things that have happened in the last two days.
1. Kevin said the following on the way to daycare: "I think Halloween is the favorite of my whole life." He had just passed the pumpkin patch we went to the previous year. Halloween is also my favorite, so I guess it is good that we are related.
2. Colin now says "bee car!" whenever we see Volkswagen Bugs. He calls all bugs "bees." And Kevin calls that car a bug, so Colin calls it a "bee car."
3. Colin read his first book tonight! Okay, not by reading the words, but rather the pictures. He had picked The Aristocats to read for bedtime. I was near the beginning of the book when he took the book away from me and said "Stop reading mommy. You read no." He put the book in his lap and told me "I read now." Then he started to tell me what was happening in the pictures! It was adorable, and he knows some parts by heart so some of the words were similar. Mostly though, it was him describing who was nice, who was mean, and specifically what was happening in each picture. ("It raining. Yeah. He picked up cat. Going home. Washed off.") Kevin didn't enjoy it much. He asked if I would read the book to him when Colin was finished. I told him no, and said this was how he first read books too. He got it after that.
(Side note: Colin needs to learn another language. He always puts the word "no" at the end of a sentence. For example: "Want more juice no. Daddy sit down no. Kevin share no." We are enjoying it before he learns how to say "I don't want anymore juice.)
