One of my favorite parts of the day with Grant is reading books in his room when he wakes up in the morning. He is a great sleeper, usually sleeping from 7:15pm-7:30am. After he gets dressed I sit in the rocker and he brings me books to read to him. There is a farm book that Grandma Niedzinski gave him that he loves to look at because he likes me to count the eggs on the pages. Yesterday he did the counting for the first time. He says, "one, two, free, four," and then he goes back to "free" again. :) Now he wants us to count everything.
He loves the interactive books best, like the ones with flaps and doors that open with pictures behind them. Unfortunately, he sometimes rips the flaps off. Whenever he does I tell him that daddy will fix it when he gets home from work. (Anytime anything breaks, rips or gets stuck under the couch Grant looks at me as says, "dada?" I tell him that yes, daddy will fix it when he gets home.) The other day he was really missing daddy (he has become VERY attached to Jim lately) so he started going through his books, ripping them and asking for dada. I soon caught on that he thought if he kept ripping them daddy would come home and fix them immediately. He was not a happy camper when he learned that not only was daddy not coming home to fix the books, but he had earned himself a "time out".

that is a great story. he is a mini-genius. both for the counting but even more so for trying to rip out pages so jim will come home--that is a fantastic story and really some pretty impressive logic.
wow. I wonder what kind of logic we use to get our heavenly father to show up that amounts to ripping pages out of books.
