"Too-Toos, Daddy? Let's play!" he says to me, referring to his dozens of toy cars as too-toos. I sluggishly get out of bed and play cars with my son while my wife feeds our 4 month old.
Some days after playing with his cars for an hour or so, Gabriel will look up at me and say "I want books. Let's go Gabby's room."
Once there he demands that I put all of his books into small stacks while he peruses them. Many times I read to him. Many times he reads to me; naming animals, colors, shapes, or numbers. Many times I take these moments for granted.
