"Book, book!"

I have no idea when it started but our little boy has become a bookworm! We have been trying to read to him as much as we can, whenever we have the time. And I make it a point to give him a story or two before he goes to bed. Possibly from there, books have become his good friends. Nice huh?

But it is not too nice when he wakes up in the middle of the night and goes "Book, book!", pointing his fingers at the bookcase and looking at you with his beady eyes. Last night, he did that at 4am!! He shouldn't be up asking to be read to especially now when he is sick and he needs his rest and sleep! But how can you refuse this little boy who is looking at you longingly, asking for a story. Sigh... So there we were reading books at 4am in the morning. (Fred was woken up as well... no choice, had to put on the light)

Hopefully this "Book, book!" phase doesn't go away too soon. We want to continue in nurturing a love for books habit in Gabriel. But we do want to get some sleep at night, so hopefully he doesn't wake up at 4am too often and go "Book, book!" :)

Will put up a picture of him with his books once I find one.
