Strong boy

One of the books we're reading quite a bit at the moment is Dinosaur Roar - which Charlie loves because he can remember it all and 'read' it to me without any help. We also do actions/sounds for them all, and one is "Dinosaur weak, dinosaur strong, dinosaur short or very very long." We faint a little for 'weak', make a right angle to show our bicep muscles for 'strong' etc. There was also a Boogie Beebies on recently which included the same 'strong' action and now he's started to say "I have got very strong ears!" All this time I presumed he realised what we were doing when we did the action, but he thought we were pointing to our ears! He does have strong ears though, especially when food is mentioned in a whisper!

Books in Bed

This is what I walked in to the other morning. When I asked what he'd done he replied "I read a book." Good answer! He also started to make up a story to go with the pictures in My Little Fire Engine (in his hand) which went "Hello, I am a fire engine. I play with dolls." (The second picture in the book has some dolls and a house!)
