Elijah Reads to Mommy

Elijah's favorite story to read at bedtime lately is "Whacky Jack". It is a story about a raccoon boy and his dad playing baseball (of course) outside. Jack can't catch or hit and just keeps getting whacked on the nose by the ball. But the dad encourages him to keep trying and he will become a champ. One day when Jack and his dad go play baseball outside, Jack actually catches the ball! Then he gets a hit! Dad tells Jack that he knew Jack could do it and, for whacking the ball, would call him Whacky Jack from now on.

We have read it so much that Elijah has memorized it. Now he reads it to me and Steven. I managed to catch SOME of it on video. Very cute!
