Elijah the reader

I have to admit that I am loving Elijah's reading skills and love of reading right now. The other night I caught him after bedtime still awake and reading, using what sunlight was left in the day peeking around his curtain for light. The mom part of me had to tell him to go to sleep. The reader part of me was doing a little happy dance in the hall after I left his room. That was exactly what I would have done at his age. He's also started bringing books into the washroom with him, reading in there. Yesterday was a dream come true and beautiful memory for me. The two of us snuggling up on the couch, both engrossed in our novels. *sigh*
