Bush Babies and Libraries

Nobody said that having kids was so much work! Albeit extremely rewarding work! Ian is getting smarter every day. He can make a tower of up to ten blocks using the museum picture blocks and then knock it down and sort them into their correct order by size. He can count to three. He does so each night when I turn off the light at bed time. "1, 2, 3!" Lights out. He is creating 3 word sentences describing actions and loves naming books. He now knows a number of animals on site, from cats and dogs to seals, penguins and bush babies.
One of our favorite things is to go to the library and read books and then walk across the street to the play ground. He says goodbye to the "slides" and "ups" when we leave. Yesterday we went to the playground only and he got upset that we were not going into the library. He kept saying, "read books" as I strapped him into his bike seat and making a fuss because we were going home.
