Bread

Last week, I was reading Dexter one of his favorite bed-time picture books. This book has one picture per page and our routine is for Dexter to point to the picture and for me to say what it is. This time when Dexter got to the picture of a loaf of bread, he pointed and I didn't say anything. He looked up at me and pointed again. I said, "Yes, I see it but what it is? Can you tell Mama what it is?" Dexter pointed again, more forcefully. Again I said, "Yes, I see it. Can you tell Mama what it is?" Dexter pointed to the picture, looked up at me, and said (in a soft, low voice), "Bread." I was so proud!
