Books!

This may sounds like a small feat, but I am thrilled to report that my child has let me read her an entire book two nights in a row! Now, mind you, these are not the longest books in the world, but they are more than a board book with two words per page. We actually have a ton of great hardback books because a lot of Chris's co-teachers gave us books. Teachers always give the best books :) I have to admit that I haven't read most of them, but now we can read them together. It's really cool because she actually lets me turn the page (most often in the right direction) and she has great responses to pictures. Last night the book had pictures of a mommy and baby and she kept pointing at it saying something resembling baby. I just have to express how excited I am about this because there was a point when I was sure that she would never sit still for anything. Friends have told me that 18 months is a magical age, but I wasn't so sure. We are making progress people!

I have to mention that it was 104 degrees today and my brilliant husband and his friends played golf today...tee time was at noon...he said he only felt like he was going to pass out twice...nice. Men will do anything for free golf at a country club.

(oh and p.s., she has done much better at the babysitter lately!)
