Jamie is clearly very proud of his reading ability, and he should be. He absolutely tears through books and would keep reading all night if we didn't tell him to turn the lights off. One of our current bedtime rituals is that when we come in finally tell him to turn the light off, he asks what page of the book we think he's on. We inevitably guess much too low and he is pleased and we remark on how much he reads.
About half the time Connor has already gone off to sleep, but when he's not he too asks what page we think he's on. He hasn't quite got the point of the game however, because we'll guess 10 and he'll proudly proclaim, "No! 3!!!" I guess the important thing is that we're wrong. Sometimes, out of dumb luck, we're actually right though and Connor scrunches up his face and growls. Then gets the book and turns the page so we're wrong. Ahh, all can be well again.
