Motherhood Bliss: Go Dog Go

Every night we HAVE to read "Go Dog Go". It is everyone's favorite book, especially Brooks and Cade :)

Every night after bath time Brooks goes into his room to the bookshelf and literally throws every book off the shelf until he finds "Go Dog Go", brings it to me, sits into the center of my lap (he can't just sit on one leg or the other, it HAS to be the center) and we read the book together. He has learned the parts on which to say "Goodbye" or "Shhh" because the dogs are sleeping.

Cade can pretty much read the whole book by memory minus a few words here and there. It is pretty amazing, he just turns the pages and based off of his memory from me reading it so many times, he knows what each page says. Pretty soon he will be reading it to Brooks for me!!

The real treat is when Daddy is home and sings us Go Dog Go with his guitar!!! Then they get to dance AND listen to their favorite story....

Funny story, last night I tried to be sneaky and put Brooks to sleep without reading Go Dog Go and I put him in his crib and told him Night Night....he immediately stood up and pointed to the bookcase. I tried to let him cry it out for about 10 minutes, but he just couldn't get over not reading the book before he went to sleep.

So I went back in the room and sat in the rocking chair with him and read him the book to settle him down. We were almost at the end I hear Cade's little feet running down the hall, he peeked around the corner of the door and opened his mouth really big like he couldn't believe that we didn't include him and said "Mom, WHAT are you doing??!!" It was halarious!!

So Cade climbed up in the rocking chair next to us and we read it again.....

They both amaze me everyday by how smart they are!!!
