Sean made us read <em>Big Dog Little Dog<\/em> and <em>The Going to Bed Book<\/em> over and over and over. I think one night shortly after the package arrived, we read <em>BDLD <\/em>five times in a row (before Mom, not Sean, got tired of it). He&#8217;s also enjoying opening the flaps in <em>Where&#8217;s Spot?<\/em> I was impressed how quickly he figured out to use both hands to open the doors to the closet.<\/p>\n<p>These new books were great and got Sean interested in reading again; he&#8217;d been getting a bit bored with his old books.<\/p>\n<p>But other pastimes are still as fun as ever.
