Antonio = very busy, talkative, crazy, little boyPosted by Rachel on July 22nd, 2009

Antonio loves to repeat everything he hears. He also loves to bring me a story, have a story for himself, and then pretend to read his aloud while I read the one he handed me. But sometimes he’ll actually sit in my lap and listen to the book he brought me, like today. He walked over and handed me “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” which I happily began to read to both kids. “In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf.” For the next couple pages, Antonio yelled, “LEAF! LEEEAAF! LEEEEEAAAAAAAF!” until I got to the “On Monday, he ate through one apple…” and then he yelled, “APPLE! AAAAAAAAAAAPPLE! AAAAAPPLE!!!” pointing to every fruit on the book after the initial, actual apple. Then, of course, he closed the book before we got to the end, so the poor fat caterpillar never turned into a butterfly.

This kid…he wears me out. He just broke a quart-sized glass measuring container. Must go.
