I love to read BIG BOOKS...

Of course both Morgan and I love to read (I don't know about big books though), Jocelyn too loves to read and luckily Beckton is really into books! We have this ridiculously huge animal book that my grandmother gave us for Christmas three or four years ago and Beckton has decided that he loves it. It's fun both because it's huge, but it shows animals from around the world. To watch Beckton read it is wonderful. The pictures of the animals are in no way childlike or simple; it's pretty wordy too (more like an encyclopedia of animals) but the colors are great and Beckton is very entertained. I watched him for over an hour the other day; he pointed at the monkeys and birds then he was creating some story about the sea snake (big eel) and that was really cute. He was so animated and vocal. I attempted to video tape the story he was telling, but as soon as he spotted the camera...SILENCE. It was a big highlight of my day to see him so content especially with a book!
