Garrett is 4 years, 1 month, 1 week & 1 day old… He can recognize every letter (upper & lower case). He can’t read any words yet that I know of, but he loves to “read” to Gina. Tonight, since it was Friday night, I let them take a bath in our bathtub downstairs. They each chose a color tab, and Garrett chose blue, while Gina chose red… so they had a purple bath! I red them FIVE Dr Seuss books while they were in there. Garrett kept asking for “one more”! And since we weren’t pressed to get into bed, I kept reading. I love the Dr Seuss rhymes, and so does Garrett! He tries to guess the rhyming word before I get to it!
After their bath, while I was getting things picked up around the house, I noticed them sitting side by side under the blanket on the couch. Garrett had picked up this “One Rainy Day” book, and was making up his own story for Gina. He told her this was called “Ducky, Ducky, Where’s Your Home?”!! Seriously! Came up with that on his own!
He made up a whole story about every picture in the book… Below is a mud pie… And there was also an ant, and he had Gina point to every picture and repeat what he said it was.
So enthralled with Garrett’s story about the ducky!
“And that’s the end, Gina Barrina! Do you have any questions?” No really. He really said that.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but they are pretty tight, and the majority of the time, they play amazingly well together. I know it won’t always be this way, so I’m soaking it up while I can. In a few years, when they might be at each other’s throats, I’ll come back and live in the good ole days by reading these posts!
