Jackson has loved books since he was four months old. Quite a blessing. We read to him and he digests and enjoys EVERY second. Until lately...
Lately, we open a book, and Jackson recognizes so many things. Trucks. Flowers. Birds. Baby Sisters. EVERYTHING. And when the little man sees something he likes... he looks over at mama, squints his eyes and gingerly scratches the pages with an "oompfh oompfh waaa" sound. At first I said, "oh, that's cute."
But then..We're playing with the Sesame street house and the Elmo figurine with the beach ball(C'mon, there are many elmo figurines PEOPLE!!)and he pulls the same "whiny grab scratch" that he does with the books. And I realize, my little guy is trying to pull the things he likes right off the pages. And off his toys. And I melt.
LOVE this moment. Also, thank god that daddy has his own version of "whiny grab scratch" - or there would be no Jackson to begin with.
