Tickled Pink

Ever since Cade received the book, Put Me in the Zoo for his birthday we've read it for practically every naptime and bedtime story session. I just tucked Cade in for the night and I am tickled pink. Sure enough he picked the same book and he proceeded to "read" to me all 50+ pages. This boy memorized the book! Not 100% word for word, but pretty darn close. I knew that when children hear a book often enough that they can recite it and read it back, and Cade has done it with shorter books, or several pages in a book, but he has never read to me each and every page of this many pages until this evening. This was a wonderful and fulfilling way to end my evening.

In other good news, Kyle was a dear and hung up the remaining 5 drapery rods before leaving for work yesterday. Life can't get much better than this. Really, it doesn't take much to make me happy.
