Our Book Worm

Sometimes I am really amazed by Benji.  Ok, actually I am amazed by him quite a bit.  But as he is my firstborn, sometimes I don't know if all kids his age can do the same things or if I'm just a really proud Mama. :) 

Tonight when I was reading him his books before bed, I would pause before the last word of each sentence.  Almost every time, Benji could complete the sentence.  Granted, we have read those books MANY times, but I am still amazed that my less-than-2-year-old can finish sentences in books (and not just one line page books....like 3-4 sentences per page books).  It was just yesterday that he started talking!  And tomorrow he's going to be reading by himself!  I love my Benji-boo!

Here are several pictures throughout the months of Benji reading books....starting in April 2011, when Benji was 10-months-old!
