Just Like Mom (Momma's Boy)

Special guest author: Daddy

I am honored to be Graham's special guest author. I asked for this opportunity because I had to tell everyone about something that happened during Graham's bed time last night. For those of you who know Shay pretty well, much of this story should sound very familiar. As part of our recent bedtime routine, we do "bubbles and bath" and then Graham gets to pick out a book or two off of his bookshelf and bring them to me. We then read two books and he goes to bed.

Well, last night, after bubbles and bath, Graham pointed at his Caterpillar book, and so he only needed one more book. So I told him to go pick out one (and I held up one finger, which he understands), and he walked over to the bookcase. He picked up every book on the bookshelf at least once, and he picked up many of the books 2-3 times. When he picked each book up, he looked like he was carefully considering whether that was the book he wanted me to read to him that night. After about 5 minutes, I finally counted down, and I told him that I was going to come and pick out his book for him. At that point he picked up three books, and he said "more" as he tried to pick up a fourth. He carried two board books in each hand until he dropped two of them halfway into his six feet walk to me. I was laughing as I picked up the books and helped him into my lap. At that point I knew he was positively his Mother's son. As everyone knows, a baby (and his mommy) has to have options, and they DEFINITELY have to consider all of their options. :)

Well, thanks for letting me tell my story.
