Books

Carter is a big fan of reading now. It took him a long time to have the attention span to sit through more than one page, but now we can spend half an hour or more reading books.

Carter's favorite books are the free ones we've gotten through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program. We got most of the books Carter loves last year and I remember not liking them much when we got them, but now I like them as much as Carter does. Unless I'm reading the same book for the 10th time in a row.

Carter's gotten very good at pointing out things in each book. He's great at animals such as dogs, cats, birds, and several zoo animals, girls, boys, and balls. It's fun if he's sitting across from you to watch him scan the page looking for whatever you ask him to find.

We've had lots of sunny, warm weather here all week. Yesterday Sarah and I walked in the morning and then went to Sarah's house for a few hours to let the kids play. I didn't take many pictures but here's a cute one of Carter playing on one of Mary Grace's toys.


And Sarah got this cute one of Carter ...


We're planning on another playdate tomorrow at our house this time.
