Wish I was little again...

When I was younger my mom used to read to us every night. Sometimes it was whole books, reading one chapter a night or sometimes it was silly little books like "The Giving Tree" or a series of Minnie Mouse and friends. One that I will never forget is "Pat the Bunny." We owned several copies of said book... not all at the same time. We would ruin one and then it would have to be replaced. When Deakon was born, my mom bought him a copy. I kept it hidden with the plastic wrapping still in place until just a few weeks ago. I didn't want it getting ruined before he could even remember what it was so I have now made it into a special Sunday-only book. He absolutely loves it. It kills me how funny he is "smelling the flowers" and always "waving bye bye" to Judy and Paul at the end. He has really started liking books and loves when I will sit and "read" them to him. (honestly he doesn't really like me read them, he likes when I point out things to him and ask him to find stuff)

We love that book at our house too! We are about ready for our next copy as our first was has been torn, eaten, drooled on and taped back together! It's such a simple book, but well loved!
