Reading Books

To our surprise and delight, Jasper still loves to read. Goodness this boy can't get enough books! My friend Denise had breakfast with us a couple weeks ago. Jasper kept bringing her books to read to him. She thanked him, took each one and set it beside her plate saying she would read it when we were done eating. By the end of breakfast, she had quite a stack of books and Jasper held her to her word.




For Christmas, Jasper got some new books from Grandma and Papa Jasper. Two "Five Little Monkeys" books and a lift the flap Elmo book. I didn't expect them to be such a hit, but they are regular reading material. He can pick them out of his crate of books just by the binding. I pretty much have them memorized. The monkeys can't bake a birthday cake without making a mess and eliciting the fire department, and they can clean the bathroom well but then are totally oblivious to how they make a mess when they come running in from picking berries at the swamp. There you have it. I'm sorry if that spoiled the endings for you.
