Chicka Chicka!!

I recently joined yet another book club for Joshi.  I really see buying books as a great investment.  I wasn't a big reader as a kid and always wished I had of been, so I wanted for Joshi to grow a love of books.  I have read to him ever since he was in my belly.  I recently bought him the Chicka Chicka 123 book, as he already has Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Boom Chicka Rock, and he wanted the 123 book.  It arrived and instantly gave that wonderful new book, crisp new page vibe which made us want to read it that very same night.  So we did, and he has read it a few times with Daddy also.  Then a couple of nights ago I read it again with him, and on the back page they have the numbers going from 1 through to 100.  He tells me he wants to count them, and so he does, ALL THE WAY TOO 100!!  Of course with a little help and guidance here and there, like when he say's 28, 29, twenty ten!  But this was my first time witnessing him count so far and I was just whooping up a storm with delight.  So, of course, I go into my Mommy dreamy zone, and I'm like, "honey you are so clever, I cannot believe that you counted all the way to 100, that is so amazing".  And here is where I REALLY go into the dreamy Mommy zone!  "You can be anything you want to be honey.  You could be President, or a Doctor, or a Veterinarian, or a Teacher, or an Astronaut".  Then, as if to abruptly snap me out of my wonderful, dreamy, idealistic place where Moms are free to roam through meadows and dream dreams that put their kids on pedestals so high they touch the clouds, and to also seemingly remind me that my child is infact FOUR, my son says, "or an eagle"!  To which I sigh and reluctantly reply, "yes honey, or you could be an eagle"!
