Book Avalanche



This is not an effort to show off my obviously stellar housekeeping skills, but to illustrate Josiah's love of books. We read three books at nap time and bed time, plus a Bible story for each as well. These books always get placed at the side of the bed, plus Josiah goes to retrieve some of his own after we tuck him in. So it starts to pile up!

I've been trying to point out a repetitive word in a few books and get Josiah to recognize it. He's very aware of me trying to teach him anything, and will point to every other word on the page in order to derail my efforts.
The other day though I wised up and offered a sticker if he could point to the word.
He pointed to it right away. "Egg. The one with two g's."
