Goodnight Comb and Goodnight Brush

Ben loves his routine. He knows it, he asks for it, he flips out if you miss any step. As a result we typically read the same stories over and over again because those are the ones he asks for. Two of the current faves are "Goodnight Moon" and "How Does a Dinosaur Say Goodnight." Well, I didn't realize just how much Ben is able to retain. The other night I asked him if he wanted to help me read and started pointing to things on the page, i.e. comb, brush, mush. I got to the next page where I pointed to the old lady (whispering hush) and he completely cut me off and said "Goodnight to the old lady whispering hush". Turns out he knows the stories almost verbatim! Ben shocks me a lot, but this was a jaw dropper. Just to hear him talk in full sentances is pretty great, but to know that he is retaining these stories and can completely repeat them is pretty awesome. He loves books just like his Daddy!
