Good Deeds and Maturity

The other day, I met my friend Matt's little cousin. He was so cute, but a little out of control. All of a sudden, he went and grabbed his beanie baby, which came with a story. He sat down on the couch next to me and asked if I would read it to him. So, I figured it would be more fun to read it together. He absolutely loved this idea. We took turns reading a page at a time, read the entire book, and he never lost interest. This gave me an extremely good feeling. It was as if this kid sisn't ever want to sit down and take a breather, but for some reason, he really wanted to read with me and had no intentions of getting up until we were finished.

I can't wait until my boyfriend's son gets more interested in books. He has a few, and sometimes wants to read them, but loses interest pretty quickly. I want to read him bedtime stories and give him some of the books I read when I was a child.
