Colin's reading

One night recently I was reading with Colin (Little Critter's "Show and Tell"), helping him to sound out a few new words. He sometimes prefers to guess what's next by looking at the pictures instead of sound things out.

Dad: "This is my cat. He likes to..."
Colin: "... Eat a mouse?"
Dad: "OK... This is my hamster. He likes to..."
Colin: "Ummm... be in a ball?"
Dad: "OK, we'll finish our reading later..."

He's one clever bug...
