Fun with books

Lots of fun reading today. Bas was being a little bit of a nuisance while Patrick was attemtping some renovations, so I decided to distract the little mite with some colourful books. He absolutely adores "The Lady Who Swallowed a Fly". Everytime I turned a page he'd giggle with pure delight. I think perhaps he has a morbid mind, I mean, the Old Lady dies in the end and he thinks it's hilarious! Mind you, I've known that since the first time he saw Willy Wonka and giggled when Charlie and Granpa Jo were nearing the top of the bubble room. Not at any other part of the film did he laugh, just this one. He's one twisted individual. But he's cute, so I guess he can get away with it for the time being.

The next book we read was a book about tails. Not as interested in this one, but he did enjoy sitting on the floor for half an hour just turning the pages. He also enjoyed the book about monsters, mainly for the page turning fun that could be had with that as well.

He's so even tempered and relaxed it's amazing. He can entertain himself for hours on end, and only generally gets needy when he's tired. Sometimes he'll whinge for something to eat, but we're usually on top of that while he's up and about, so it's a fairly rare occurrance.

Presently he's fast asleep for his late afternoon nap and when he wakes, he'll get a yummy dinner of vegetables with spinach and plum sauce. He doesn't mind spinach, but today will be the first time he tries plum sauce. So we'll see how he likes that!
