Carter Reads

I was feeding Audrey breakfast one day while Carter was reading to himself. I grabbed the camera (which is to blame for the very poor quality) and asked him to read some so I could tape him (but was a little distracted by his sisters which is to blame for me cutting off the top of his head repeatedly). Please pardon the dress-up clothes strewn about, the hacking courtesy of Ava and the various other background noises of Ava trying to entertain Audrey. She obviously isn’t as entertained by Carter reading to himself as I am.

Blue Hat Green Hat by Sandra Boynton

(hopefully you can understand him – each page is a series of different colors of the same item on an animal, but the last animal isn’t wearing it properly, so the text is “oops.”) Also, Sandra Boynton books are the best!

I particularly loved when Ava tried to help and Carter about bit her head off. Just another day at our house.

Wiggle Waggle by Jonathan London

This is only a small clip of one of our current favorite books and a great way to distract/pass the time when we’re out somewhere. One night after reading this book for one of the first times, I was putting Carter to bed and heard him say under his breath, “Bumble Roll, Bumble Roll” (how a bear walks for those not so informed), so I started going through all the animals and was impressed with his comprehension of how all the animals walk.

Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard

This is my favorite to hear Carter read. I added subtitles in case you can’t understand him.

Who needs TV when you have Carter around to read?
