Hallelujah! Max Reads!

This week Max willingly opened a book & looked at its contents.

This is pretty exciting for us, as Max has been anti-literacy the duration of his short life.

We've tried to read him books or even play with books, but the closest he's ever gotten to sitting through a book is throwing them from Ainsley's bed - once.

Max would much rather waterboard himself with a cup (sans lid), lick concrete (appetizing, huh?), screech like a baby pterodactyl, throw wooden blocks across a wooden floor (a lovely noise) or engage in other quiet activities.

So, given that he paused for 7 seconds, opened this truck book long enough for me to take a picture, & contemplated a page or two, we feel that he may not hate books as much as we thought.

There is always hope for our little destroyer.
