When Gavin was born we got a package in the mail from some friends of ours from Colorado. They sent Gavin a book, called Barnyard Dance. It has been a favorite of his for us to read to him. This past Thanksgiving, we spent some time with these friends, where we learned that the author who wrote Barnyard Dance, Sandra Boynton, has written numerous children's books. So, for Christmas, Gavin received several more of her books, and we now have a new favorite..... Bellybutton Book.
Gavin loves this book. It's about Hippos, which are fun characters to read about, and throughout the book they refer to bellybuttons as "Bebo". While reading this book to Gavin, we've been trying to teach him where HIS bellybutton is. He really wasn't catching on until one day I asked Gavin where his "bebo" was and to my surprise he lifted up his shirt and touched his belly button. It was PRECIOUS!! It took a few days for us to teach him that "bebo" and belly button are the same thing, and now he will answer to either one of them. Finding his bellybutton is a new favorite of his!

Whenever my siblings and I were growing up, our favorite book was "The Going to Bed Book" by Boynton. My mom always gives it as a gift at baby showers because she thinks every family needs to own a copy of it :)
P.S. I have been following your blog for awhile and figured I should comment instead of being a silent stalker
