Last week, we bought my son M. a new Thomas the Train book a.k.a. choo choo!!! Yes, that many exclamation points are necessary because my son always says it with such enthusiasm it is almost yelling. That is probably the best money we have ever spent on a book because he loves lifting the flaps to see what is hidden underneath and will actually sit and read it by himself. He is in an extreme mommy phase right now and does not like being separated from me. Since my husband and I were working from home today, I propped this little footstool by my desk so that he could read while I worked.
