Thomas absolutely LOVES his books. You will see him carrying at least one book all of the time. When we do have to take a book away (i.e. bath time, eating) it is a struggle. Any chance he gets, he will sit in our laps and have us read. He will also hand books to us to read to him. I am telling you, this child doesn't even play with his toys, just books. Thanks to his love for books he has learned to point to many objects, he will say what some of the things are in the book, he will make the sounds of the book and he has learned lots of new words. This little man is smart!
When he was about 1 years old we signed him up for a program at the library called 1000 books before kindergarten and he is already at 500. Makes it easy when that's all he wants to do. So on a typical day his books end up scattered ALL over the house. We think he is going to ask Santa for more books and then we will donate some of his older ones. :-)
