Memorization

I couldn't believe it, I was changing Bud's diaper yesterday and gave him two beanie giraffes to play with. They are different sizes so I pointed that out to him, and he started reading his "Opposites" book from memory! He said, big-little, up-down, in-out, fast-slow! He says most of the words when we flip through the book, too, but this was the first time he did it without looking at the book. I was so amazed!

I was home for the afternoon yesterday because Ben is not feeling well, we think it's the flu. He took a 2 hour nap and felt better so he went out to shovel the 3 inches of powder we got yesterday. Bud and I bundled up to go out and watch him and Bud loved it! I think he was just glad to be out of the house but he also had fun watching the birds fly around. When I went in the house to put the camera and mail away he started cyring; he wasn't ready to go in! We took some pictures of him and I hope to get them developed tomorrow so they'll probably be online Monday.
