Reading

TJ sits still enough for me to read him a book. "Duck on a Bike" by David Shannon [illustrated by the author] seems to be the right story [animals/bikes], not too long, great pictures and just the right amount of words, not too many - not too few. I do wait to sit and read till TJ is a little tired because he is a very active boy. I have tried other books, but they just didn't have the right combination of factors. I'm a big proponent of counting from the get go. It seems to me that counting should come as naturally as talking, walking and eating. Numbers are a huge part of modern life. Two ears, two hands, one head, five fingers [high five] and 10 toes. Numbers/counting, are a big part of our day.
