"Then what happened, Grandfather? Just as I was born...tell me that part." Is that a baby? Yes. Is it a boy or girl? A boy. Is that his mom? No, it's his Grandma. Is that his mom? Yes. Is she dead? No. Why are her eyes closed? Because she's tired, having a baby is hard work. "It was strange...strange." What is strange? Weird, odd, it means something isn't right. What wasn't right? I don't know son. "Just as you came forth and made yoru first cry, the wind stopped howling..." What is howling? Like this...wooooooo. The wind can't talk. I know, but it can make sounds. I've never heard it make a sound. Well, it does. Your trickin' me. "...and the storm was over..." What kind of storm? I don't know, maybe just a wind storm. No rain, or snow or loud booms? That's called thunder. What's it called? Thunder. Hmm. "...and the night became as quiet as soft falling snow..." Snow doesn't make noise either Mom. I know honey. "...the grandmother took you up in her arms, and said, He will walk in beauty...to the east...to the west...to the north, to the south, he will walk in beauty...forever." Is that his Dad? Yes. Why is he there? Because a lot of times Dad's are there when the baby is born. Why? Because they love the baby and Mom. "And I was born strong, wasn't I, Grandfather? No, you were not strong. You were sick and frail. We thought you would die." Did he die? No, or there wouldn't be this story. Is that the Grandfather? Yes. Why is he reaching for the baby? Maybe because he wants to hold him. Why? I don't know son. What did he say to the baby? I don't know, I wasn't there. "But I didn't die, did I? Tell me about that, Grandfather." Are you sure the mom isn't dead? Yes, I'm sure. Did she just have the baby? Yes. Did it come out here? (pointing to the bottom of the bed) Yes. Okay, Mom, next page please.
oh yes...that was just one page...

The boy is full of wonder and questions! :o)
This is EXACTLY what children should be doing... interacting with text! Asking questions, making connections to his life and the world, and pointing to the photos! I think he will be an eager reader!
I apologize for laughing out loud, but I can SO relate! Truth be told, I think he has amazing comprehension and is incredibly inquisitive for having only been here for 6 months! WOW! Is Hunter the same way??? Are their personalities similar? Love reading and keeping up on what is going on with all of you!
I couldn't help but laugh outloud as I read this because I can just HEAR it...I have experienced it many times and it's hard not to just stop and chuckle when it happens! We are all so lucky to have these boys to love and to learn from!!!
