Maya is currently in a love affair with a new book.  It is by far her favorite book right now.  She reads it at least a dozen times a day and it is always one of the books she picks for our before bed story time.  The book is the Dr. Seuss classic, Green Eggs and Ham, better known around our house as the “Sam Ham” book.

I’ve talked before about Maya’s love of reading.  Everyday when she gets out of bed the very first thing she does is run over to her book shelf and starts looking at her books and asking me to read her a story.  One of the very first books she goes for these days is “Sam Ham”, which is fine by me because it is such a fun story to read  She loves everything about the book, the pictures, the story, everything.

Not only does Maya love to have us read this book to her but she loves to read it to herself.  She will turn each page and examine the pictures while saying “no like sam ham”, this goes on for forty odd pages.  When she gets to the second last page she says “oh, I like sam ham” with a big smile on her face.  On the very last page she says “thank you thank you sam ham” before closing the book and starting all over again.  It is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.  I’ve tried my darnedest to get a video of it but she always stops reading as soon as she realizes I’m filming her.  This is the best I’ve been able to get so far.  She loves her “Sam Ham” book
