Obsessed with books!

Gene said, "He is obsessed with reading lately, I wonder who he got that from." : ) He does see me read , A LOT, so maybe that is why he loves to read so much. In addition to his morning reading time in the bathroom, we read at least 10-15 books a day and often 3-4 times each. He is constantly bringing us books; he'll hand it to us then make the sign for book and then turn around and sit in our lap. He also likes to read to himself, "uh...duh....mmm....ughhhh....errrr" etc... And he tries to count with us now, "uh, do, ee."

Today, I saw him playing with my book while I was getting dressed, but then about 20 minutes later, I couldn't find it. I said, "Roman, where is Mommy's book?" And, he went over to the laundry hamper and signed book and said, "bu!" while pointing into the hamper. We counted yesterday, with "bu" that makes about 25 words that he says, and 30 signs. It's so great that he can tell us precisely what he wants, and he is generally very polite about it to. : )
