Hiding in the Book Pile

Zoey has loved books from the beginning. I cannot tell you how many hours and hours and hours I have spent reading to her. (I also cannot tell you how many times I have read the SAME book over and over in those hours, LOL) Max is different, of course. He wasn't too interested in books and stories until about a year ago. And then, it was only very specific books. All that has changed in the past couple of months. He enjoys books more and more, although still pretty selective, but with Max, you don't just read the books, you have to interact with the books. We find him acting out the scenes to his favorite books all the time. Do you remember the Five Little Monkeys Book? Well, he has read that one over and over, and acted out what every monkey does on every page... He is very good!

The other night we were reading a book about Fall, where the characters raked up a leaf pile and the dog hid in the leaf pile. He thought it was pretty funny. And then all of a sudden, Max told me to lie on the ground while he covered me with books, making a "book pile." So the fun began... hours of entertainment for Max come from books and his imagination. Here he is, hiding in the book pile... (He insisted his face be covered as well)
