Sometimes you have one of those moments that give you such joy. Tonight was one of them. A while back when I was on my book buying binge, I ended up placing holds on several books at the library, mainly for books that I wanted to read to Dylan.

We read a few books every night, and lately he’s been coming out of his “Brand Name” phase (ie “I want the Backyardigans book” or “I want the Dora book”) so I’ve been taking full advantage.

The book I picked up today is called My Many Colored Days, by Dr. Seuss.

It’s a beautiful book, about colors and feelings. I ended up reading it to Dylan three times. He didn’t want any other book.

So now I’m having one of those “when you pick just the right book for your child” moments.
