The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Because that's just a little step up in reading material, right?
They are both pretty good books.
And yes, I did read him a page.
And yes, he did listen.
And laugh.
Hysterically.
While doing a little dance.
Then he sat back down.
He took the book from me.
Gently, he opened the cover.
Carefully, he turned a few pages.
He seemingly beamed with pride at his ability to copy Mommy and Daddy.
And I was just glad that we've modeled this behavior enough for him.
Because, if not for books, I believe this life would be pretty darn boring.
So what if the book was upside down and sideways?
A 12 month old toddler doesn't care.
I wish I had my camera near, but I didn't.
Not wanting to miss the moment, I grabbed the iPod next to me and took a few pictures.
At first he hardly noticed.
He kept thumbing through his book and babbling contentedly.
Until I laughed.
Okay, I chuckled.
For at least a minute.
What? I shouldn't be reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
He immediately dropped the book on the floor.
Stumbled to his feet.
And grabbed the iPod out of my hand.
At least he hadn't figured out how to delete the pictures yet.
