Recently I’ve read some of Olivier Dunrea’s gosling books to Isaac, which I used to read to Blake when he was little.

This one is my favorite. Ollie yells at Gertie & Gossie that he wants boots and once he finally gets some boots, he yells that they are too hot. Isaac and I started quoting the lines to each other in the car the other day and he thought it was so funny. The older boys started joining in as well. “These boots are too hot!!”

Classic.

Lately Clark has been into Kevin Henkes’ books. We own a few of them, and I recently purchased this one.

He is obsessed with it and wanted to copy Lilly by putting band-aids all over himself to show how brave he is.

(we ran out of band-aids so he added some stickers)

Then we checked this book out at the library…and now he has to walk backwards with his eyes closed to show how brave he is.

I love it when my children copy things from books. It becomes this special family joke.
