our "date" last night.
Linus has been horrible lately, mostly directed at Dietrich. pushing, kicking, stealing, etc. and any reprimand is followed by "but I don't like him!".
we figured he needed some one-on-one, so mom watched the other three, and we took him out. went to borders so we could read to him (the library was closed. since we made a late start). he was so thrilled. he grabbed book after book and we took turns reading them to him. we almost didn't talk him into going to the cafe for a cookie, until we picked 2 books to buy, and he carried them down with him.
he's kind of behind with learning ABC's and sounds and what not, but I do think once he gets it down, he'll be my best reader. he's got more patience for books than any of the others (so far!).
