Books in Bed

Every night just before getting into bed, Elias picks out a book to take to bed. Last night he picked out Dr. Seuss's ABC book. We haven't read that one in a while so he was talking about how he picked out a new book. As Matt and I are singing his goodnight song, he opens the book to the first page, looks at it for a moment and says, "I can not read." We could barely finish singing his song because we were cracking up so much. It was as though for a moment he was planning on reading the book while in bed, but then only suddenly realized he didn't know how. It's only a matter of time, my Elias...only a matter of time.
