we started reading brady a chapter book before bed every night around easter. just one little chapter a night, so it took some time to get through it. the book was the tale of despereaux. it was definitely more dark than i thought it was going to be, lucky for us he only picked up a few things from it and does not remember the bad things like the queen dying, and roscuro getting his revenge...... i must say what an experience it has been for us. our little guy understands and picks up on far more than i have given him credit for, he is one brilliant little guy. some may say we started chapter books before his time but i disagree, i am so proud of him and all that he is listening for and imagining in his mind. i told him when we finished we would watch the movie.....
silly mommy thought that he would sit down and watch the entire movie because he was so excited about the book.... he started out doing really well and watching very intently in daddy's lap laughing every time he saw roscuro on the screen. after the popcorn ran out and twenty minutes had lapsed he was off into his cars again..... so we will watch it in twenty minute spans every day until we finish..... someday we may be able to watch a movie from the beginning to the end as a family...... until then we will wear out the pause button on the remote.tonight we start a new book.... stuart little..... sticking with the mouse theme for now he seems to like them..... definitely nothing like his mommy in that department.....
