The Joy of Christmas Reading

Matty loves books, and I hope he'll never get tired of it. The only problem is he's reached this developmental stage where he likes us to read the same book over and over again to him. He would ask me to read the  book before nap time, immediately after nap time, maybe once during playtime, after dinner, and then before bedtime. I'd consider myself lucky if my hubby was back before Matty's bedtime so I can take a break. It was just after dinner the other night when my hubby and I sat together to read Matty's latest favourite book. We looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh when we realised we could recite almost all of  it.

This book I'm talking about is Mary Engelbreit's A Merry Little Christmas: Celebrate from A to Z. One of two books I recently got Matty to help him learn about Christmas. He loves this book so much that he now uses these big plastic ABC's to spell each word out on the floor!

The other book I got him is a Nativity sticker activity book. He took it to Church with him recently when we went to watch a nativity play. I don't know how much of the story he can really understand. I just know that when they were singing "Star of Wonder", Matty turned to me to tell me thats not the star song. He said it should be "Twinkle, Twinkle". When we got home, Matty even told me he wanted to be baby Jesus.
